Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

I know for certain that I enjoyed eight 10ths of the whole movie…

…it's that remaining two that things hinge on, it's not that I hated them… but the ending did knock me for a loop, certainly not what I was expecting from what could be intended as a summer blockbuster.

I guess it boils down to two things. 1) It's a Deus Ex Machina in the purest definition of the term… undoing eight 10ths of the movie we'd seen up to that point… 2) The deaths of those who were helping Dastan and Tamina are in a way, effectively rendered in vain - Tamina especially (even though they are obviously, brought back to life).

In some ways the ending could be described as a bit anticlimatic… with it seeming that there could've been a bit more to the confrontation between Dastan and Nizam in the sand glass chamber…

But maybe that's a good thing, it didn't have the obvious “Hollywood summer blockbuster” ending, deciding to choose something a bit more understated and dignified.

I guess I'll have to sleep on it.

you do realize that's how the game ended…right?
