I know, I saw a movie in the theaters...weird. Don't expect it to happen again for a while.
One Word Description: Exciting
Family Appropriate: I would personally say yes. It is PG-13 for violence and yes, quite a few people die. However, I didn't feel that it was scary or scarring violence, 90% of it is sword fighting.
Basic Outline: (I'm going to try hard to tell you as much as I can, but there's not much I can say without giving things away.) This movie follows Dastan, the youngest son of the king of Persia. He is not a prince by birth, Dastan was a homeless orphan who was adopted by the king because of his bravery. At the beginning of the movie, the three princes, Tus, Garsiv and Dastan, attack the sacred city of Alamut. After they have taken control of the city, the king of Persia is murdered and Dastan appears to be the obvious culprit. He flees and takes the princess of Alamut with him. As they run from his brothers, Dastan discovers that the princess is the guardian of a sacred dagger that holds the sands of time and the power to rewind time. Dastan begins to believe that the attack on Alamut and the death of his father were a plot to get the dagger. He must prove his innocence, protect the dagger and, of course, save the world.
I have to say that the movie was very well made. It's made by Disney, of course it was well made. Jake Gyllenhaal was fantastic and Gemma Arterton, who played the princess was very impressive. I thought the movie had a really good balance of a lot of different elements: danger, action, romance, comedy, adventure. It really had something for everyone.
Recommendation: I would definitely see this one!
