I know not many know that this movie was derived from a video game quite sometime ago. Those who are below 15 may not have even heard of this game before. But for the others who are wiser (with that I mean older) would have surely played a game of Prince of Persia. The first time I played it was probably in the early 1990s, the graphic was then still in 2D. They improved it further to the 3D graphics later on.

I was going crazy when I heard last year that this movie is going to be released. I was one of the lucky few who managed to get tickets for an early show. The movie is basically about an adventurous prince who teams up with a rival princess to stop an angry ruler from unleashing a sandstorm that could destroy the world.

Prince of Persia The Sands of Time

The Prince of Persia, namely Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal played this role and also the reason why many girls are watching this movie and going nuts). The guys on the other hand, get to see Gemma Arterton, who is a hotty and one of the Bond Girls.  Google her name to find out more.

The movie is set in the mystical lands of Persia, a rogue prince and a mysterious princess race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world. Imagine if we have this power here in Malaysia.

The Prince of Persia is far the best movie that I’ve seen in a very long time. I would say that it’s many times better than the latest talked about Iron Man 2. The graphics are amazing, the sound tracks are wonderful and the storyline is marvellous. The perfect partners to act in the movie too, Jake and Gemma had great chemistry in the movie, believeable. I’ll give it a staggering rate of 9.5 out of 10. I will not give details of the movie because we have to keep the suspense for those who have not watched it yet.
