Why did I watch the movie? Primarily because the hero (Jake Gyllenhaal) is adooraabbblleeee!!! And as a kid the wobbly acrobats of the prince on a 4.86 pc fascinated me. So here I am reviewing a movie which has been vastly under-rated by most critics. Fine the movie doesn’t completely follow the story from the video game…but then again what movie actually stays true to its inspiration? At the same time this one doesn’t go too far off… so all you prince of Persia fans can breathe easy.
Before you begin watching the epic adventures of the Prince of Persia, shed all your preconceived notions and be ready to be taken on a CGI aided action ride through the sands of time.
The story revolves around Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal) adopted by the King of Persia from the streets of Nasaf. The action begins when Dastan over-riding the orders of his brothers Garsive (Toby Kebbell) and Tus (Richard Coyle) takes into his own hands the conquest of the Holy city of Alamut, only to find out that the motive behind the attack was false and fabricated in order to attain something far more valuable: the mystical dagger of Sands of Time. The princess Tamina (Gemma Arterton) of Alamut has vowed to protect the dagger, a gift from the gods, from falling into the wrong hands. Amidst this treason is committed and the King is murdered, the blame of which lands on Dastan. From there on begins the journey of the Prince and the Princess together to both protect the dagger and the world, and to clear Dastan’s name. What unfolds is a captivating story of treachery, deceit, romance and self discovery.
The movie is a whirlwind of high profile action and breath taking stunts. Disney productions in collaboration with director Mike Newell have brought forth a thoroughly entertaining epic adventure which is a must watch.
