staring out into the night

staring out into the night
the lonely darkness
i chose my plight
to escape this darkness
there you were standing with the light
i reached towards you to see who you might
almost reaching it seems so bright
i fall in love with you for you were right
i made my choice i see this through
i find myself that you were true

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time review...

Yet, another game based movie... As expected another game based movie should be disappointing right? Failure after failure after failure... Games are just not meant to be movies... Though we've seen how Timothy Olyphant had portrayed Agent 47 in Hitman and Mark Walhberg who potrayed the title character Max Payne... These were not much of a disappointment but turned out to be okay... We have seen how Uwe Boll transformed awesome games into disasters... such as Far Cry, Postal and Bloodrayne... From Super Mario Brothers till Doom, none of the game titles ever succeed in capturing my eye except for this beautifully done film... Amazing CG for such a smashing title... This film wasn't supposed to be another one of those overly done shows like Doom...

Well, as said, PoP wasn't my first choice of film to watch, I've always doubted that game based movies have been failures all these time save for Hitman and Max Payne. However, these 2 game based movies have moved away from the usual styles depicted in the game itself... PoP on the other hand keep most of the elements found in the game itself yet manage to stun the audience with amazing CG and action. The charming Brokeback Mountaineer Jake Gyllenhaal has played the role of the Prince known as Dastan well. With Ben Kingsley playing the evil uncle Nizam, what could possibly go wrong?

As far as for the storyline, it is simplistic but done well, however there were spaces for more improvements. CG was stunning, action scenes were intense and cool. Ratings: Story 6/10 CG 8/10 Action 7/10 Overall 7/10.
