So much average
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
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.
I start from the story i gave it a 8 because it was fun to watch an exciting journey but honestly as a science student i know that the portrait of Aveccina was totally wrong. He died from a disease that he easily treated at that time but since he was always taking care of patients he never paid attention to his health. at the old age he had already achieved an amazing level in medical science that has never repeated in history of mankind. he was a genius at only very young age he had mastered all scholar texts of his time. they could merely put focus on the young English physician and show that Avicenna actually supervise the surgery not learn it! totally ridiculous scene! such a shame! if anyone wants to know the accurate history site watch Bou Ali Sina TV series made in persian in 70s i have watched it over and over and i cant get enough even if it looks pretty old but still amazing to watch maybe available in Eng from ifilm.
