Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time Blu-Ray + DVD Combo Review
Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time Blu-Ray + DVD Combo Review
Synopsis: In the spirit of the Pirates Of The Caribbean trilogy, Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films transport you to the mystical lands of Persia for this wildly entertaining, epic action-adventure. It's a race against time when a rogue prince (Jake Gyllenhaal) reluctantly teams up with a rival princess (Gemma Arterton) to safeguard a magical dagger that gives its possessor the power to reverse time and rule the world. Filled with death-defying escapes and unexpected twists at every turn - Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time is a fun-filled adventure that will keep your pulse pounding long after the credits end.
Review: The latest live action release from Disney is something a little out of character. The Prince of Persia is a video game series that deals with action, adventure and mystery.
Jake Gyllenhaal turns in a characteristically suberb performance as Dastan. His good looks will certainly interest a lot of the viewing audience, while his accessibility and vulnerability make him a likeable actor. He's a great choice for a leading role. The choice of the great Alfred Molina as an almost comic relief as the greedy shiek is phenominal.
The film isn't perfect, it harbors a little bit of editing that cuts short some of the best scenes, but overall it is definately a success! This one is Indiana Jones-style fun for the entire family!
