Prince of Persia has great special effects that will left you awed as well as great acting by the casts involved. Although it’s a long movie the action scenes were carefully scattered across the movie to make it an enjoyable adventure ride till the end.

The film stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan, Gemma Arterton as Princess Tamina, Ben Kingsley as Nizam, and Alfred Molina as Sheik Amar.

Basically, it is set in the mystical lands of Persia, a rogue prince and a beautiful mysterious princess from the holy land of Alamut race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time that’s been a secret kept for ages, the dagger is a gift from the gods guarded by the princess and it can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world. Thus it must not fall t\o the wrong hands.

Jake Gyllenhaal (Prince Dastan) and Gemma Arterton (Princess Tamina) has great chemistry and their playful bantering and teasing of each other brings a smile at times kudos to the script writers. Humor on this film mainly from the ‘non-tax paying’ sheik, Alfred Molina (Sheik Amar). It’s also a beautiful film to watch a wonderful job by cinematographer John Seale.

Overall this movie is fun to watch with decent action scenes all over with excellent special effects and a wonderful chemistry between the hero and heroin. An adventure worth to watch even though its a long movie.
