Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time


my rating: 3 and a half stars.

to sum up in the least words possible, the movie wasnt bad.
the movie is an adaptation of a video game which i am led to believe that everyone has definitely played. anyway, the story is that there is a kingdom of Persia with three princes. one of them, who is also our hero is not a royal blood but an orphan from the streets.
the Persians were falsely informed that a holy city (whose name has escaped my memory), smuggles weapons into their country, ergo, they attack it. and there is a dagger which has a unique power to reverse time.
well, the story is very predictable with clichéd plot. i wasnt made to hold my breath and wait for the next scene. even the climax was blah. the only thing about the movie which might urge to spend money are the stunts. they are truly brilliant. and thats the only thing which made me not to plug in my mp3 player during the show. even jake gyllenhaal looked good after the interval, with his performance vastly improved.
all in all not something u have to catch on a big screen. it can be easily settled on the television with a rented dvd.
