Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

I am currently on a trip in Scotland, so I don’t have easy access to films (especially since the release schedule is different).  However, I manage to see one film that had a worldwide release: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

Video game adaptations have a bit of a bad reputation and despite being produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, I doubt this film will change any of those opinions.  The film is not bad, however it came off as just a formulaic action/adventure that stays quite a bit from the game it is based on.

Despite all that, it was at the very least entertaining.
