Film 71/365, Day 72/365 – Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

I love a good epic so had high hopes for Prince of Persia, and whilst some of the action is very entertaining and the vistas are stunning it felt like the story had been a little too Disney-fied.  On the plus side Gemma Arterton gets a lot of screen time, and that is no bad thing.  Also try and spot Jeff from Coupling!  Good fun but too simple!

Synopsis: The adopted son of the Persian king is framed and accused of killing his father and is ruthlessly hunted across the lands.  He finds a number of unlikely allies including the Princess of the city he just helped invade.  A mystical secret is buried at the heart of the betrayal that could lead to untold power or the destruction of mankind.
