Saw the movie on opening with a group of friends and my dad, who watched me play the game when I was a kid. All in all, it was a decent movie. I'm a little bitter how even when I set my expectations rather low, they STILL manage to leave me unimpressed. If the fight scenes weren't too close to the action, or didn't change camera angles enough to disorient the viewer, the slow-mo effect ruined them for me. Also, the romance felt rushed, and the only times I laughed was when The Prince (I refuse to call him Dastaan) and Tamina 1up each other to gain ownership of the dagger, or the movie wasn't trying to be funny. For a final complaint, the ending didn't satisfy me; (SPOILER)there was no sense of loss like in the game when Farah rebutes the Prince's affections due to the time loop. In fact, the exact opposite happens, making the ending kinda dull and unimpressive imo.

Personal greifs aside, the movie was fairly entertaining, the popcorn was good, the actors did a decent job for the most part(although I didn't really like Tamina's actor,I forgot her name), and I was able to buy an ICEE for the car ride home.
