A good movie with a movie first and games later

Many game-adapted movies, such as "ResidDent Evil", "Doom", "Street Fighter", etc., are too concerned about conforming to the plot and style of the game and exclude the majority of the audience. Only a small number of fans know how to appreciate it. The difference between "Prince of Persia: Blade of Time" and other movies based on games is that he basically completely deleted the game's plot, leaving only the game's characters, scenarios, and the most important "Blade of Time". The director adapts the plot so that people who have never played the game can fully understand the plot, not limited to the small circle of game fans.

Many movies put the most classic plot in the movie on the trailer to attract the audience. This technique often makes audiences feel disappointed when they go to the theater to watch the most exciting pictures have been revealed. "Prince of Persia: The Blade of Time" has no shortcomings in this regard. The CG in the movie is more realistic than in the trailer. This surprised the audience. The plot is not revealed too much in the trailer. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it is a bit difficult to guess the real plot. Of course, the humor in the movie is not limited to Western countries, and everyone can appreciate it.

One of the hits for the film was that "none of the actors were Persian international". This is basically like picking bones in an egg. The male protagonist in this film fully plays a Persian prince who has been betrayed and has no blood, but puts justice on the front line. What does it matter if the actor is not of orthodox Persian origin, if the actor can act out the character's feel? In addition, the environmental designer has also put a lot of effort into making the audience feel like they are in Persia. Besides, if only orthodox Persians were used, would the film still be so widely recognized?
