Prince of Persia follows Dastan a orphaned street kid who catches the eye of the king of the Persian Empire. The king takes Dastan in as one of his own and he is raised in the palace as a prince. We then join a grown up Dastan(Jake Gyllenhaal) as he and his brothers prepare to attack the city of Alamut. During their attack on the city Dastan stumbles upon the fabled Dagger of Time and our story goes from there....
Prince of Persia is an all around good summer movie. It has something that will appeal to everyone. The plot is good, although it starts off a bit slow, and it makes sense and is easy to follow. The film is acted very well and includes actors Ben Kingsley, Alfred Molina, and Gemma Arterton. The CGI and effects are very well done. This film serves as the foundation for a good epic movie. I do see a well made franchise coming from this movie.
The only gripe that I have about the movie is the slow start that it takes in the beginning. The pacing could have been better but it didn't make or break the movie.
Overall Prince of Persia is a movie that would be enjoyed by most movie goers. If you have a chance you should....
