This might just be one of the best movies we’ve seen so far this summer.
We really enjoyed this film, Prince of Persia offers the audience the best escape from the summer heat.
Filled with humor, romance, and adventure Prince of Persia is what the summer should be about at the movies. Pure Escapism from the troubles of our daily world.
It was definitely better than it had any right to be and while there isn’t much competition, it is definitely the best video game movie.
The cast was great, Gyllenhaal brought this great charisma and persona to the role and the fact the he did most of his own stunts is nice to see.
Arterton was very good as well and unlike in most movies like this her character played more than just the stand in pretty girl.
Kingsley was as well great and played the part perfectly, and finally the much talked about Molina; he was well great as well.
The story line was a clichéd yet interesting one and very easy to follow.
The action scenes were immensely entertaining and the effects were great at times and not so great looking at others.
The cinematography and just some of the shots of the area were downright super but some of the set pieces looked like they were too fake and didn’t fit in with the background.
The movie was fun, gave us a laugh here and there, gave us some sleep urges in the middle but nothing too slow.
The amount of action definitely keeps it going, this is similar to the mummy and the new clash of the titans.
Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films present “Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time,” an epic action-adventure set in the mystical lands of Persia.
A rogue prince named Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal) reluctantly joins forces with a mysterious princess Tamina (Gemma Arterton) and together, they 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.

Goofs
- Continuity: At the end of the first battle of the Holy City of Alamut, Tus has a small cut on his right cheek with blood running down his face, but in the next scene, the blood and the cut are gone, and there is no scar.
- Continuity: During his fight with the Hassansin guard, Seso takes several darts to the chest. In the shot immediately afterward, he peeks around a pillar, and his chest is clear. In the following closeup, though no further action has taken place, the darts are seen protruding from his chest.
- Continuity: Throughout the scene in which Dastan and Nizam talk in Avrat, Nizam’s cloak continuously changes positions on his shoulders.
- Continuity: While bound to a horse in the Valley of Slaves, Tamina argues with Dastan, and there is a smudge on her right cheek. In the next shot, it has disappeared. Later, it is shown on her other cheek.
- Continuity: Tamina knocks Dastan unconscious with a bone in the Valley of Slaves, and a cloth falls over his face. In the following shot, the cloth has moved, and the bone has shifted to a different angle.
- Continuity: As Tamina lies in a pool in the sacred temple, her head changes positions and goes from wet to dry several times.
- Continuity: When Dastan presses the jewel on the dagger for the second time, Tamina reaches out to stop him, and is then frozen in
time. The next shot, however, shows her fingers in a different position. - Continuity: Nizam’s hands are shown to burned from the acid he used to kill the king, but in the next scene (with the new king) his hands are fine.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Sheik Amar talks about his last ostrich Anita, he refers to her as “she”, when clearly the bird in the picture is a male ostrich. Male ostriches are black with a white tail, while female birds are greyish brown.
- Continuity: Sheik Amar fights a Hassansin at the sacred temple outside Alamut, and one of their swords is broken off near the hilt (it’s not entirely clear whose). In following shots, however, both blades are seen to be completely intact.
- Continuity: When Dastan and Tamina finally kiss, his left hand touches her cheek. A split second later, his hand is at her side, holding her arm.
