Disney's adaptation of the critically acclaimed "Prince of Persia" video game franchise, "Prince of Persia: The Sands Of Time", will hit cinemas this Friday. "The Sands Of Time", helmed by "Pirates Of The Caribbean" director Jerry Bruckheimer, stars Jake Gylenhall as the titular Prince Dastan, with Gemma Arterton in tow as the beautiful and courageous Princess Tamina, and revolves around the "Sands Of Time" trilogy of video games created for the PlayStation 2 in 2001-3. The first reviews of the film are in, and generally are fairly positive, noting that "like Robin Hood, it doesn't use all of its budget on large-scale CGI, instead focusing on its brilliant sets", however "expectations of the next Pirates were too high". Meanwhile, the tie-in of sorts for all next-generation gaming consoles, dubbed "Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands", has also been well received, with critics praising it essentially being a "HD version of the Sands Of Time", and the majority of reviews rating it 8/10, only criticising its "unnerving familiarity" and "awkward combat". Expect a full review of the "Sands Of Time" movie this weekend!
