How sad is this?
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
In terms of filming this is a great movie but I am really sad to see again that film makers intentionally try to show Muslim's and Islam as evil as a fashion. Which makes ignorant people filled with hatred which is rising the tension between civilizations. Historically the story is twisted. Ibn-Sina as he was born in Uzbekistan was Turkish origin while he was really one of the greatest scientist at his time and been know as the origin of modern medicine of the western world so the whole world. And Seljuk's who were also a Turkish tribe been there about 50 years later after Ibn-Sina's death. Seljuk's were great warriors but they were not evil as shown in this movie besides Seljuk's were extremely merciful to people under their rule and they build a great civilization and known to be good supporters of science and art of their time. Even today after a 1000 years their architecture stands in the countries they ruled. 135 out of 258 found this helpful
The character of Rob Cole is not very Strong as it could have been. He has no flaws. Actors have done their part very well, but the script is not the best of all. The story is otherwise very insightful and the film, very entertaining.
Dear director, producer, writer and all associated personnel, I don't understand where did you get the history of 'A Muslim bows before a human'. Shame on you!!
This is a movie made on purpose to ruin Iranian history. On the age that the movie is taking place, West and England was just a village, however, Iran was one of the greatest countries on the world, maybe not now, but it was back then. Why such idiot writers and on the top of them stupid film makers made a movie like this that doesn't fit any historical facts about Iran or Ibn-e-Sina. Ibn-e-Sina was not living in Isfahan, he was living in Hamedan which is another city in Iran. Besides, they show people from Isfahan/Iran such an ugly faces but the guy from England or the girl from Spain like a holy angel which is another ugly lie. I wish I was a film maker and could show the world of how British invasions ruined many countries specially Iran.
