Do not see Prince of Persia. Seriously, this movie was the worst I’ve seen in a long, long time. It just did nothing right. Poor special effects at times, cheesy dialogue, predictable but stupid plot, at times poor acting and action sequences that all just felt the same due to the cramped camera angles used throughout.
It suffers from the same issues Pirates of the Caribbean did which is repetitive action sequences thrown into a movie that runs for 30 mins longer than it had any right to. Not surprising since many of the same people at Disney were involved in this train wreck. At least pirates had some rather memorable characters…the guys in this movie range from forgettable to “get the fuck off the screen” worthy.
All in all I recommend a rental at most. I think my friend put it best when he said “Hollywood has a new answer for piracy…just release bad films.” If you want something mindless it might be the best film out there at the moment but myself and my friends thought the Tron trailer was probably the highlight so perhaps save your money for that. $8.50 may even buy you the Sands of Time game even.
