a5c7b9f00b Captain John Carter was a great warrior when he fought for his cause, the Confederate States of America, during the Civil War. He was really disappointed when the Confederates lost the war to the Union, but what hurt him most of all was the death of his family (a wife and a daughter) by an ungrateful Union troop. From both the Confederates defeat and, more to the point, the death of his family, he decides not to give a damn about anything worthwhile on the planet and to only look out for himself. Three years later, in 1868, when trying to live a normal live by claiming gold for himself, he ran away for safety when encountered by the Apache Indians in the Arizona territory. He hid in a cave, where he found mystic cave drawings and gold. While in there, he was surprised by an appearance of a Thern and John kills him. The alien's medallion transports John Carter to Barsoom (a.k.a. Mars). He was then taken prisoner by another alien race, knownTharks. He soon escapes and is caught in a great war fought between the red-skinned humans of Helium and Zodanga. Throughout the course of the film, John Carter has to learn the importance of the cause the people of Helium are fighting for and to put away his selfishness and fight for the ones he loves and for the freedom of Barsoom. This is how John Carter of Earth became John Carter of Mars.
Civil War vet John Carter is transplanted to Mars, where he discovers a lush, wildly diverse planet whose main inhabitants are 12-foot tall green barbarians. Finding himself a prisoner of these creatures, he escapes, only to encounter Dejah Thoris, Princess of Helium, who is in desperate need of a savior.
For films suchJohn Carter, you have to accept them for what they are. Unfortunately John Carter fails on the aspects it hopes to appeal too. Based on the 1917 book 'A Princess Of Mars' written by Edgar Rice Burroughs it stars up and coming actor Taylor KitschJohn Carter himself, a civil war veteran who is mysteriously transported to Mars and quickly involved in an on going war that the planet faces.<br/><br/>Coming straight from directing animated Pixar films such'Finding Nemo' and 'Wall-E' Andrew Stanton hasn't quite grasped how to deal with a live action film. Mars is host to a wide array of human-esque characters and a large amount of CGI aliens knownthe Thark. Through his directing he appears to have given the effects more life and personality than any of the human counterparts, which remain fairly flat and unremarkable. This makes around half of the film fairly interesting while the other half lies flat and dormant. Kitsch tries his hardest to bring himselfa charismatic and relatable character but the dreary cast keeps him back. Dominic West posesa bland villain along side Mark Strong who demonstrated in 'Tinker Tailor Solider Spy' that he can be a highly qualified actor when given the right role.<br/><br/>The acting isn't the only problem here. The plot has a lot of meat to it but that doesn't mean that it's in anyway interesting. It meanders and drags switching between all the various different factions and with the human characters beingplainthey are it makes their scenes extremely un-engaging. For those who haven't read the book the story will feel like it's swaying all around the place. An unnecessary plot line involving Carters nephew on Earth feels completely out of place and only features at the very beginning and the very end meaning that half way on through the time on Mars you will have forgotten all about it making the ending notsatisfyingit should have been. A forced romance plot line weaves its way through the plotwell that makes for some truly awkward and wooden acting between Kitsch and Lynn Collins who plays the Princess of one of Mars cities knownHelium. The only strand of the film that is somewhat compelling is the involvement with Thark's where again Stanton demonstrates he's best suited with animation.<br/><br/>A Princess Of Mars heavily influenced many science fiction films that exist today, without Burroughs books there wouldn't be films such'Star Wars', 'Avatar' or 'Stargate'. The only problem is the film is now in a world where said films do exist so it makes a hard time for the audience not to compare it to such films. The desert planet is reminiscent of Tatooine from 'Star Wars', the Thark resemble the civilization from 'Avatar' and the soundtrack boasts that of the original 'Stargate' film. The fact that these films have happened makes John Carter all the more pointless for existing. Its time has passed anda result won't flowwell in this day and age.<br/><br/>That being said there are things to like about John Carter. The first portion of Mars is entertainingCarter attempts to get used to the environment and the species on the planet. It builds for some genuine interest and excitement. Butsoonthe rest of the cast is introduced, unfortunately spirals downhill. Another positive factor is the set pieces. Because they are so far apart they provide a refreshing change of pace. There's a particular standout scene in which Carter is fighting an array of enemies but the film also cuts back to a previous part of his life on Earth, interchanging between the two scenes. Unfortunately though these positives don't bring cause for a recommendation to see John Carter. It's bland, slow, boring and has a thick and overflowing plot that won't appeal to a large variety of the audience. The book was way ahead of its time, the film however is not.
It's pretty easy to understand how John Carter flopped at the box office: it's a bloated and often confusing film that demands way too much suspension of disbelief from the viewer, particularly where John Carter's amazing yet inconsistent physical abilities on Mars are concerned.<br/><br/>That said, I surprisingly still found myself having a lot of fun, the film delivering excellent effects, stunning scenery, impressive creature designs, and lots of breath-taking pulp sci-fi action set-pieces that prove entertaining despite their blatant silliness.<br/><br/>Taylor Kitsch acquits himself well in the title role, making for a dashing, likable hero and giving women a good reason to watch the film; meanwhile, male viewers get to drool over the gorgeous Lynn CollinsMartian princess Dejah Thoris (and yes, all of the alien's names aresillythis). Kids, on the other hand, will love super fast alien 'hound' Woola, the cute critter designed to detract younger viewers from the fact that they won't have a clue what is going on.
Nothing in John Carter really works, since everything in the movie has been done so many times before, and so much better.
Check out Edgar Rice Burroughs' page here for information about Tarzan. A common misconception. Although it is true that Mars appears quite redseen from outer space, this is due to large amounts of dust in the atmosphere. While standing on the surface, however, Mars would appear to be a more butterscotch yellow than red, according to experts. The reason why early photographs of Mars' surface (as taken by probes) appear red is because those pictures were taken in greyscale (essentially black and white), and later colour-corrected with the (wrong) assumption that the major colour would be red.
