Title: Mediocre fantasy film for children and teenagers
Review: To enjoy this film you would need to be totally ignorant of Omar Khayyam, his vast mind and his enduring achievements. Any claim made by the producers that this film will be instructive or carefully-researched should be discounted at the outset -- it is a travesty of a great life. The puerile plot and excruciating dialogue are matched by wooden performances from the entire cast, young and old enough to know better. The crude political message is all too obvious. If you demand only galloping hooves, fake castles and flashing scimitars, this might pass. If you love Omar Khayyam, horseman, pass by.
