Prince of Persia: The Sand Time (2010; Genre: Fantasy, Adventure) Rating: 4.5 / 5 "A must watch"


Jerry Bruckheimer production has always been exciting and interesting. Many of his production has been successful such as the TV show "Amazing Race", Blockbuster Movie "Top Gun" "Black Hawk Down" "Bad Boys" "Pirates of Caribbean". Now here come his latest production which is the game adaptation "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time".

Having been only playing the third series of the game "Prince of Persia: the two thrones", the movie is just as excited as the game.
Perhaps if I may say, the movie adaption will not disappointed fellow gamers. Unlike many other game adaptation, Prince of Persia still keeps and embraces the original element of the story which makes the movie truly lovable and enjoyable to watch.

Begins with the story of how prince Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal) is adopted and then continue to the capturing of sacred land that he finds out that he is set up on his father death. Unable to convince the other brothers, Dastan runs with the princess help. Soon, Dastan will finds out the secret dagger he took from one of the princess guard. Afterwards, the story behind it is revealed, therefore, Dastan realises that the dagger must not fall in the wrong hand.

Seeing the costume, the scene and the action, it just like watching the game comes to life. However, I wish that the story line could have been stretched a bit longer which then the character of Dastan could be fully developed as well the romantic element in the story.
Despite many of negative critics by many non gamers reviewers. I would say that they are wrong, the movie is exciting for "Prince of Persia" enthusiast gamers and just like many other Disney movie, Prince of Persia is a fun and enjoyable movie to many viewers young and adult, gamers or non.

For gamers, you don't want to miss this movie. Yet, for those who are looking for a more serious darker and more violence movie, you are in the wrong place as this movie is for family entertainment.

Compare to this year fantasy movie released "The Clash of Titans", Prince of Persia is far better than the Clash of Titans. If you may know, Prince of Persia is selling a franchise while Clash of Titans only selling the actor and the visual effects. Then you guess, which one is much better?
