Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010): A young fugitive prince and princess must stop a villain who unknowingly threatens to destroy the world with a special dagger that enables the magic sand inside to reverse time. (6.7)
Director: Mike Newell
Stars: Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton and Ben Kingsley
This is a sequel; an action adventure; a movie based on a video game (?); and it has elements of time distortions? Um ... okay, for the sake of the action adventure part, a good story ("we have no weapons of mass destruction", "war on false pretense", etc. :-)) and some really good CGI and live action integration, I'm going to ignore the time-travel holes I always see in this type of movies. Besides, Gemma Arterton's character is portrayed with power and grace and she looks nice too. Sword fighting, knife throwing, etc are un-real, but hey, coming from a video game, what do you expect. Cheap thrills and not an entirely bad story either. My Rating: 6.5
