I know next to nothing about the Prince Of Persia video game. Perhaps that was the best preparation for the movie version. This is the sort of film for which you can check your brain at the door beforehand. Lots of pretty scenery and special effects to digest, built around a pretty thin plot line (and a rather obvious "surprise" villain--which the posters in the lobby telegraph in case the movie itself didn't do the trick) and some decent action sequences. The verdict: unobjectionable, but nothing worth rushing to the cineplex to catch.
