Story Plot: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.
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 encounters the beautiful Princess Tamina. 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 mastermind's plot for ultimate power with a mystical weapon that can control the very fabric of time.
My Opinion:
I didn't expect much from this movie, and wasn't planning on watching it after watching the trailer. However when I saw them playing the movie on HD, I just give it a try, which had somehow managed to butcher the action sequences which turned to be pretty good in the movie.
It hardly depicted the movie for what it made out to be, so i'm more than glad that I did. At first glance Jake wouldn't be my first choice for the role of the prince as I didn't think he really looked the part, with his slightly goofy looking demeanor, but he made up for it as he certainly played the part, coupled with a good body double the parkour wasn't far off either.
There was good chemistry between the leads, however, granted perhaps overplayed in less than idyllic moments, which some might find cliché but hardly something to dwell on in this pretty awesome movie so its not as bad as other critics claim. It offers pleasing graphics and stunts and although deviated from the plot of the game, the important aspects blended well and made for an enjoyable, and not totally predictable storyline.
Its overall fast moving, entertaining movie which we can sit and watch with the whole family. Here is the sneak preview:
