Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010)
Adopted from the streets of Nasaf by King Sharaman of Persia, young Dastan grows up amongst royalty and quickly earns his place as a mighty warrior and prince. As his brothers Garsiv and Tus plan battle strategies, a spy sends word that the Holy City of Alamut has been supplying weapons to enemies of Persia. Taking matters into his own hands, Tus orders an attack on the sacred city, and upon its fall, Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal) encounters the beautiful Princess Tamina (Gemma Arterton). When King Sharaman dies under mysterious circumstances shortly after, and Dastan is accused of his murder, he flees with the princess on a harrowing mission to clear his name. Learning from Tamina the true motives behind Alamut's invasion, Dastan must embark on a perilous quest to stop an evil master-mind's plot for ultimate power with a mystical weapon that can control the very fabric of time. Overall, the acting was pretty good, and the movie managed to keep my attention. I've never played the video game before, but the storyline seemed to be adapted pretty well to be inspired by a video game.
I gave this movie 7/10 stars on imdb.com.
