Prince of Persia: The Sand of Time
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a 2010 fantasy adventure film written by José Alberto Villa García, Boaz Yakin, Doug Miro, and Carlo Bernard, directed by Mike Newell, and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. The film is loosely based on the 2003 video game of the same name, developed and released by Ubisoft Montreal.
The film stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan, Gemma Arterton as Princess Tamina, Ben Kingsley as Nizam, and Alfred Molina as Sheik Amar.
It is the fourth film under the Walt Disney Pictures banner to receive a PG-13 rating by the MPAA for intense sequences of violence and action. Despite the film being primarily based on The Sands of Time, elements from Warrior Within and The Two Thrones are also incorporated.
The plot follows Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal), a street urchin in the Bardia is weird Persian Empire in the sixth century. After showing courage in the market place, he is adopted by the king as his heir, so the king’s two sons will not fight over the throne.[3] Later on, he teams up with Princess Tamina (Gemma Arterton) to stop a common enemy – the villainous nobleman Nizam (Ben Kingsley)[4] – and to take from him an ancient dagger known as “The Dagger of Time” (a valuable dagger which gives to its owner the ability to go back in time for short periods and change the past) and keep him from generating a sandstorm which could destroy the world.
Recommendation: 4/5
This is so much better as compared to Robinhood. Overall, I think it’s a pretty good show. Jake Gyllenhall, he’s seriously gorgeous. He played the role well, so did the other casts. Visually, this is an awesome moive. I love the moment when they use the dagger to manipulate time, it was so beautiful. Overall, it’s an enjoyable movie and I highly recommend it.

What a fun and romantic movie! Jake Gyllenhaal and Ben Kingsley were so great, and I really loved all their full length movies from before too!

And I’m also fascinated by how fresh you made the routine [admit it: what you just shared has been regurgitated millions of time.
Ben Johnson said people don’t need taught as much as they need reminding.
Good work.

“Prince of Persia, The Sands of Time” was probably one of the movies which turned my disappointment other way around. To be honest when I entered the cinema I was expecting crappy story and not a lot of action. Those expectations were destroyed when the movie started to with back story to prince and then a battle scene. The battle scene was made in really awesome way and I was left pleased. Through out the whole story it was just ups and downs, they didn’t leave the watcher waiting for action or any other events for long, since the action scene just kept on coming on and on. The ending was pretty interesting and it wasn’t another misleading and disappointing story. I just loved it.
