Known Trivia
- Before Jake Gyllenhaal was cast in the leading role, both Orlando Bloom and Zac Efron were rumored for the part.
- Rey-Phillip Santos was replaced by actor Toby Kebbell due to a motorcycle accident on location.
- Screenwriter Robin Morningstar approached the property owner Jordan Mechner with a script based on the original Prince of Persia game of the franchise, the aim being working as a team to get a film made. He and his materials were abruptly exorcised before Disney bought the film rights to the series. The Disney film focuses on the much-later Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time story arc, whilst the game canon seemingly reboots well clear of its origins with a new game titled simply Prince of Persia. Morningstar’s script, much like the original 1989 canon, is out in the cold. (This was referred to briefly during interview in Retro Gamer Magazine Issue 51.)
- In February 2008, Iranian star Golshifteh Farahani was invited to do a screen test in London along with Gemma Arterton for the role of Tamina but she was arrested at the airport by the Iranian authorities & banned from leaving the country for six months because she had played in Ridley Scott’s Body of Lies
- This film marks the fourth PG-13 rated movie under the Walt Disney Pictures label in the United States. The first three were Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, _Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006)_, and _Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007)_.
- The “Hassansins” are obviously modeled on the famous Islamic mystery cult called the Hashshashin from which the word “assassin” is derived given their use of terror and assassinations as political leverage. Their leader was named Hassan Ibn Sabbah whose activities took place in the heart of the Alborz Mountains of northern Iran (The place was called Alamut). Legends have surrounded the indoctrination process of the members of the Hashshashin cult, which are said to involve drugging and mind control. They were likely inserted as an homage to Ubisofts largest franchise ‘Assassin’s Creed’ which is likewise based on the cult of Hashshashins.
- At the first UK screening at the Disney Roadshow, Director Mike Newell stated that, as he has known Jake Gyllenhaal since Jake was 7 years old, he always wanted Jake for the part. He went on to say that he selected Gemma Arterton because of “how very old seeing the back of her beautiful neck” made him feel.
- Dastan is a name from Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh that means “the trickster”.
- It is stated that the handle of the dagger holds one minute’s worth of the Sands of Time. The first time Dastan presses the jewel, he rewinds time by 32 seconds. The second time he presses it, he rewinds 23 seconds. This makes up 55 seconds, or almost the full minute of sand. After it’s refilled, it’s used twice again. Dastan uses it to rewind 16 seconds of time, and Tus uses it to rewind 44 seconds of time, using up exactly 60 seconds of sand. This reflects the actual time of the actions being undone from the moment of bodily repossession to the moment the jewel is pressed, as the time during which the user is in his out-of-body experience is slightly compressed by a few seconds or more.
- In the film, characters are prominently seen handling apples and pomegranates. Pomegranates were considered the “original” apples, and were symbols of strength to the Persian armies.
Goofs: Anachronisms: The map in the opening scene shows a Persian Empire stretching to Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey) in the west. Persian rule never again extended this far once Alexander the Great toppled the Achaemenid Dynasty in the 4th century BC. In a featurette on the DVD, the director describes the movie's action as taking place between the 4th and 6th centuries, presumably AD, several centuries after the map would have become obsolete. By that time the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire would have controlled many of the areas shown as western Persia on the map.
Plot: A young fugitive prince and princess must stop a villain who unknowingly threatens to destroy the world with a special dagger that enables the magic sand inside to reverse time. Full summary » »
Story: 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.Written by Walt Disney Pictures

Tonight I was fortunate enough to see an advanced screening of thisfilm. Like many, I became a fan of this franchise with the Sands ofTime trilogy, and I was very excited when I learned that there wereplans to make a feature film based on it. The storyline of the game isvery cinematic (at least in the aforementioned trilogy, not necessarilyin the previous games in the series) so I felt that at film adaptationwould be an impressive epic.
Having finally seen this movie, I can say that I was not at alldisappointed!
One of the main strengths going into this movie was it's involvement ofthe series creator Jordan Mechner. He crafted a very engaging screenstory that pushed beyond the controller, creating an entirely newaddition to the mythos. I know that at times including the creator cansometimes stifle the process, as many will fight changes to the sourcematerial that may need to be altered to work better with a director'svision; but I feel that Mechner's involvement showed his desire to seehis brain-child develop into a success on the big screen.
In addition to involving Mechner, the other big strength was the waythat the filmmakers chose to handle the story. Let's face it, moviesbased on video games have a very poor track record. Super MarioBrothers, Street Fighter, Tomb Raider… all of them made for filmsthat were mediocre at best, and downright abysmal at worst. Prince ofPersia had a mighty big hurdle to clear with this, and they found theperfect team to tackle it. Jerry Bruckheimer and Disney alreadyaccomplished a similar feat when they brought Pirates of the Caribbeanto the big screen (a movie based on a theme park ride, in a genre thathad not seen success in 50 years!)
Their strategy was the same, they wrote their own story that borrowedelements from the game, but did not strictly follow it. The film standsalone, and does not require it's audience to be intimately familiarwith the source material. The nods to the game throughout were great,but I was relieved that I was able to enjoy this film for what it was,rather than constantly looking for where it deviated from the games.
This movie clearly was made for someone like me, and in my party offour, three of us, who were all guys, loved it. The fourth, who was theonly woman in the group, was less than impressed, and complained thatit was too much action. If you're expecting Citizen Kane, you stand tobe disappointed, but if you expect this to be another video gameadaptation, you are in for a real treat!

The common view amongst "professional" reviews is that the movie isaverage. scoring below 50% from Rotten Tomatoes, and MetaCritic, andnotably a 2 out of 4 stars from Roger Ebert. The average user rankingon MC puts it at 9 out of 10.
Most reviews range anywhere from 8 out of 10, to as low as 2 or 3 outof 10.
If there's one thing critics can agree on, its that the movie isclichéd, borrowing elements from plenty of epics based in the MiddleEast and fantasy alike, and that it's loads of fun.
The one thing no one can agree on is whether that's good or bad.
It should be pointed out that this film is produced by the samecompany/studio that brought us 'Pirates of the Caribbean', and itcertainly shows.
With that said, I'll lead into my thoughts on the film. The first"Pirates" scored on average a 7.8 – 6.4 of 10, while the sequelsaveraged anywhere from 4.5 to 5.3. I'd say this movie is better thanthe sequels while not as good as the first.
So, I'd give it roughly a 7 out of 10.
The story is fun, for what it is. Which is a rough retelling of thevideo game "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time", while incorporatingelements of the following two sequels, as well as incorporatingstylistic elements from the following game and the first three of theoriginal trilogy. Thats right! Based loosely on one game, borrowingelements from SIX more. The movie is stretched too thin, and it shows.
The movie feels like your prototypical "sword and sandal" action flick,borrowing heavily from films like "The Thief of Baghdad", and storiesfound in "1001 Nights". So think 'Arabian Nights', Ali Baba and the 40Thieves, Aladdin, all mixed with some Steve Reeves 'Hercules' andRobert E. Howard 'Conan' flash.
Is it as cheesy as that sounds? YES! Is it as awesome as that sounds?YES!
But it's still well edited, well acted, well scored (HarryGregson-Williams never fails), and overall well done enough to merit anenjoyable experience.
The ONLY complaints I can think of are few, but here they are: A bittoo much CGI, not on the stunts (not much CGI there surprisingly) buton things like demonic-esque snakes (you'll see). Too much randomslow-motion. The sexual-tension seemed too forced (too many of thosereally slow "they're about to kiss but don't" moments). And whereasyes, the ending is supposed to have a "Deus-Ex-Machina" feel to it, inthe game it is much more thorough and more explained, in the movieyou're just expected to roll with it.
Other than that. A fun night at the movies! Grab your over-pricedcandy, soda, and popcorn (or do like me and sneak snacks in) and havefun with friends, family and loved ones, recapturing the fun escapismof your childhood with an epic but cliché action movie.
Hope you enjoyed my review… And I hope you enjoy the movie too!

Did you see Iron Man and Robin Hood? Yes? Well, this film is better,simply because the story is original. I know, I know, it is based onthe computer game…which I used to play ages ago…but the storyportrayed in the script is classic and refreshing at the same time; theperformances are natural and the stunt scenes are unbelievable. Now,what did Iron Man 2 miss and this movie excels at? Plot, and a fastaction pace without being over caffeinated big bang explosions (eversaw G.I. Joe?)
Having said that, you must be warned, the dialogues are simple but notstupid and it does contain a fair amount of moral references.
Sure everyone is crying out loud about the British accents… "ohh butPersians didn't speak English" yeah but this isn't The Passion of TheChrist, or Apocalypto and Mel Gibson was nowhere near the production,Jake Gyllenhaal is an American, but the rest of the cast is British,makes sense they should all have a similar accent doesn't it?? So quityer whining
Overall a good wholesome fun summer movie. worth repeating!

First of all when I read some of the reviews about this movie all myexcitement was drained but I went to see it anyway. What do you now,the movie was great. It was fun, had a lot of action in it, the CGI wasnice (excecpt few scenes in the beginning). I thought acting was niceGyllenhaal (prince) and Arterton (Princess) did a good job in myopinion. As a fun of the game; the script wasn't entirely accurate justlike most of the movies based on games but it didn't stray too fareither. OK it was not the perfect movie but it was something that Iwould go and watch its sequel.
Overall I enjoyed myself and I believe if you go open minded you willenjoy yourself too.

It isn't often that a video game is so vivid, so involving…soenveloping, that it is looked on as a possible movie franchise on allthose merits. Usually, just the action (Doom, Final Fantasy), or justthe body (Lara Croft…Tomb Raider) or just some other one aspect makesfor a great game, but an underwhelming movie. I had the pleasure ofwatching this movie in an early screening on Monday night, and it isdefinitely a step above and beyond the aforementionedvideogames-turned-movies.
The hallmark from the very beginning of the Prince of Persia franchise(a primitive DOS programmed, side-scrolling adventure through a castleto rescue a locked-up princess) was not only having a great story, buttelling it in such a way to keep the player in that world. This film,surprisingly enough, doesn't play out quite as closely to the videogames as I had expected. Still, without spoiling either the games orthis movie, I can say that it shows Jordan Mechner had full involvementin the movie. Many storytelling elements present in the "Prince ofPeria: The Sands of Time" video game can be found here, and made for avery entertaining romp through the vast lands of Persia.
I would say that my main gripe is the under-use of parkour, therunning/fighting style the Prince deploys in the video games. This is ahard gripe to substantiate though, because of how difficult parkour isto execute, let alone master, nonetheless I had expected somethingresembling the wall-running, banner-ripping moves seen in the "Sands ofTime" video game trilogy. It's harder still to be too down on a littleparkour, due to Disney's desire that this film would be the first in aPrince of Persia movie franchise, equal to or greater than the "Piratesof the Caribbean" movie franchise. Therefore, I await with anticipationthe creativity that more parkour would bring to the stories this mostagile Prince can tell.
"Prince of Peria: The Sands of Time" gets 8 of 10 stars.

I didn't expect much from this movie, and wasn't planning on watchingit after watching the trailer, which had somehow managed to butcher theaction sequences which turned to be pretty good in the movie. It hardlydepicted the movie for what it made out to be, so i'm more than gladthat i did. At first glance Jake wouldn't be my first choice for therole of the prince as i didn't think he really looked the part, withhis slightly goofy looking demeanor, but he made up for it as hecertainly played the part(and thanks to the costume designer, dressedthe part), coupled with a good body double the parkour wasn't far offeither. There was good chemistry between the male and female leads,however, granted perhaps overplayed in less than idyllic moments forpda haha, which some might find cliché but hardly something to dwell onin this pretty awesome movie so its not as bad as other critics claim.It offers aesthetically pleasing graphics (as to be expected of thepeople who worked on the pirates of the Caribbean) and althoughdeviated from the plot of the game, the important aspects blended welland made for an enjoyable, and not totally predictable storyline.Another epic jerry epic i say. I sincerely hope they make a sequel,especially if the the dark prince is involved in the storyline, thatwould be badass (magma cracks already showing on the prince's bodyduring slow mo time travel scenes so fingers crossed)

Prince of Persia was an immensely enjoyable movie. Below I list thepositives and few negatives of the movie before summarising.
Positives – What I liked about Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
~Its beautiful
The visuals in this movie are stunning. Everything from thecinematography of the desert landscapes to the city of Alamut and thebeautiful sets are a real treat to look at.
~The two leads are excellent
The chemistry between Gyllenhaal and Arterton is fantastic and they,like the visuals, are great to look at. Arterton is stunning asPrincess Tamina and Gyllenhaal is as watchable as always. Thesupporting actors all do their jobs decently.
~The fight choreography and parkour
Parkour is going to be the new big thing in movieland so I hear and itsgreat to watch, really adding an exciting new element to the tried andtested swordfight
~The story wasn't actually totally predictable
I haven't played the games so I didn't really know what I was in forwith the plot, only that it involved some sands of time… Call me amoron but I actually found quite a lot of what happened in the movievery unpredictable and the ending of the movie for me was totallyunexpected.
Negatives- What could have been better
~Historical inaccuracy
I thought the movie was meant to be in Sassanid Persia (3rd-7th centuryAD) but the map at the beginning clearly showed Achaemenid Persia whichwas quite confusing so the inclusion of crossbows and the mention ofthe "Turkish" was quite out of place. The Mughuls are also mentionedwhich is out of place regardless since they Mughuls were Mongols… Themovie does include a dagger which can turn back time so perhaps thewhole point of moot but I don't feel some more research would havehurt.
~Could have been funnier
The movie could have been a little funnier but the storyline moved atsuch a pace that there wasn't much chance for much hijinks. There weresome funny lines in there however and as I mentioned before, thechemistry between Arteron and Gyllenhaal was very enjoyable
##Conclusion##
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is not the type of movie that comesalong often. How often do you really get to see a beautifully shot filmset in Ancient Persia featuring such good leads and original story? Itwas an enjoyable movie and a great movie in its own right I say, bringon the sequels – just don't mess them up like Pirates of the Caribbean.

I was looking forward to this film because of the hype, and I wasafraid to be disappointed. But as the film unfolded, I most definitelyenjoyed this adventure from beginning to end.
Jake Gyllenhaal plays the titular Prince of Persia, Dastan, who was anurchin picked by the King from the marketplace to be his third son. Heand his brothers get caught in a web of political high jinx that crosstheir paths with Princess Tamina of Alamut (played by Gemma Arterton),and the fabled powers of the Sands of Time.
This is Jake Gyllenhaal's most accessible film so far, and he goes totown with it. OK, granted he does not look the least bit Persian, or ofthat particular time period, but somehow his charisma was able to carryus on this fantastic ride. I also enjoyed his interaction with thebeautiful Arterton, which sparks with humor and romance. She was myfavorite part of "Clash of the Titans (2010)," and same here.
I highly recommend this film for a good old-fashioned, action-adventurefilm set in ancient times. The parkour sequences are definitely of thehighest order and very well-edited and photographed. The sets andvisual effects are excellent. Best of all, the story is intelligent andwell-constructed. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has again delivered a veryentertaining summer blockbuster. A very well-executed film of itsgenre. A must watch!

WOW,i just came back from the I-max cinema and this movie was so sogood! Prince of Persia makes Pirates of the Caribbean look like ajoke..
I always loved the Prince of Persia games played the 2d ones and allthe way up to two thrones, this movie had much resemblance to the game,but unlike other video game movies it wasn't trying to hard to show itoff to the audience.Best video game movie without a doubt!
I think the reason some people are rating this so low is because theyare USED to rating video game movies so low as they have all failed upto now!
This movie deserves a solid 7.5/10.Ill rate it 10 right now because I'mjust so amazed of how much i enjoyed this movie.
IF YOU GO INTO THE CINEMA TAKING THIS MOVIE SO SERIOUSLY YOU WILL BEDISAPPOINTED. This movie doesn't try to be what its not.
It has amazing park-our,good romance, amazing action and fabulousspecial effects. I recommend this movie to everyone cause its trulyawesome!

Movies are like food. There are some which are bitter and hard toswallow yet nutritious in every aspect, and those which are tastyalbeit fattening. "Prince Of Persia" falls in the latter category, it'sfun to watch and enjoyable, and where intelligence doesn't reallymatter.
With Jerry Bruckheimer producing, lots of action, adventure andexcitement are promised. With "Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time" hecontinues that promise. The film, from start to finish, is filled withwell-choreographed sword-fighting action, fantastic special effects,sweepingly exotic scenery, lavish production design, and a good,sweeping music score by Harry Gregson-Williams. During the actionscenes the camera does not shake that much compared to recent movies…although I admit there are one too many slow-motion sequences, that(although gorgeous to look at) distracts the audience too much. HoweverBruckheimer has a thing for slo-mo, so he's excused. The screenplay isabout what you'd expect for a Hollywood-filmed Arabian adventure.
The actors did a good job with the material they're given. JakeGyllenhaal emits sex appeal and charisma throughout, walking throughthe film with ease. And he's quite good with the action sequences andfighting! Jake, welcome to the action hero club. A big surprise thoughis Gemma Arterton's performance as Princess Tamina; it is a HUGEimprovement from her bland performances in "Quantum Of Solace" and"Clash Of The Titans"; here Arterton manages to inject wit, charm ANDemotion into her character, not to mention looking gorgeous at the sametime. However I was slightly disappointed by Ben Kingsley's performance- a two dimensional villain. Granted, Kingsley acted great in the rolebut I felt like it just didn't match to his standards. Alfred Molinahas a funny supporting role and the rest of the cast did quite a goodjob, although I wish a little characterization would come from this.
Still, Mike Newell's tight direction manage to put all these amazingfactors together, thus he and Bruckheimer not only made an entertainingsummer blockbuster, they also made arguably one of, if not the, bestmovies based on a video game ever. Period.
In short, if you want to take a little escape from reality, go back intime to "Prince of Persia" and enjoy. It's fun and light on the brain.
Entertainment value: 9/10
Overall: 7/10
