SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
ana-32005 No, Seriously! If you love the book like I do, this movie will make you cry! Not a single chapter is respected... none! What about Mary Cullen?? And Barber?!! WTF!! Is it even a good movie? No! The trip is just the wrong route! They made him married the wrong woman, didn't kill someone who was important to be dead for the sake of the story... It is not about being fussy!! It is plainly a whole different story but spoiling a good one! The book deserved something better!
Amin Karimi The film tried to show a part of "Ebn e Sina"'s life but it is not true and is just an imagination of writer. A short part of "Ebn e Sina"'s life was in Isfahan but not in the way that movie showed and he came back to the Hamedan after that until the death from a sickness. I thinks every body can do a simple search about that period of time and read the history. But another thing is about the "Rob Cool" (I'm not sure about the dictate). I could not find any relational info about such a student and believe this is another imagination of the writer. I hope the producers and writers try to be more cautious and careful about historic films and do not show the lies to the people. Because it will cause of give away the trust of people t them and the rest of their products.
ali_fourm Unfortunately, the film is full of lies "Abu Ali Sina" or Avicenna was from Isfahan (Iran) The largest world medical (Physician) PERSION and Not Arab And in this film a teenager was teaches him medicine!! And many other liesIbn Sina (AviCenna)was one if not the greatest physician of his time ( considered the father of Modern Medicine)who was in fact a Muslim BUT Not Arabian..It seems that the film's director : 1 - Knows nothing of the principles of historical films or 2 - He made this film is the personal plan (animosity)
Sepideh Prs 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.
