About this product

Product Information

Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic tale of interplanetary adventure arrives on the big screen in this sweeping sci-fi spectacle marking the live-action debut of Oscar-winning director Andrew Stanton (FINDING NEMO, WALL-E). Civil War veteran John Carter (Taylor Kitsch) was still haunted by the violence he witnessed on the battlefield when he inexplicably awoke on the distant planet of Barsoom (Mars). Upon learning that the inhabitants of Barsoom are bracing for a major conflict and that war appears inevitable, John summons the courage to be the hero the Martians have been hoping for.

ReviewsVillage Voice - The achievement of JOHN CARTER is that it takes the elements worn to nubs by everything from "STAR WARS" to "AVATAR" to TV's "FRINGE" and makes them fresh again., Portland Oregonian - John Carter is too wickedly strange not to recommend. Movies this expensive usually play it much safer., Austin Chronicle - Old-school "Gosh, wow!" sense-of-wonder filmmaking is in short supply in these anxious days, and John Carter (of Mars!) left me with my disbelief in suspended animation and once or twice with goosebumps dotting my arms. And that's enough for me.

Meanwhile, John falls under the spell of the enchanting Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins), who struggles to suppress her compassion in a society known for its warlike ways. Willem Dafoe, Samantha Morton, and Mark Strong co-star.

  • Classic Action Adventure on Mars

    The Author Edgar Rice Burroughs was known to me mainly because when growing up I was a huge fan of the Tarzan TV series on a Saturday morning starring Ron Ely and as the titles rolled every week I became familiar with the name ‘Edgar Rice Burroughs’ in the credits. Later I found a book in a box in the loft at home which caught my attention called “Pirates of Venus” also by Edgar Rice Burroughs which I immediately read over a few days – loved it. Then much more recently I caught the film “John Carter” completely by accident as I was flicking through the channels & the opening sequence was enough to catch my attention & after a few minutes the name Edgar Rice Burroughs was mentioned in the script which made me want to watch it all the more! The film was a huge flop at the box office – for many reasons – the main one probably being the stupid decision to call it John Carter (being the name of the hero) as opposed to the original book which was called “A Princess of Mars” which would I think have made it a clearer of what it was about – whereas calling it a name only know to fans of the books would rather limit initial appeal. Anyway – I actually thought the film was great & if you love sci-fi – then this should be on your watch list. At the time of watching the film I had no idea that there was a “Mars” series of book by ERB but on discovery decided to listen to the audio books when I retired in the evening. There are many books – the aforementioned Princess of Mars, followed by Gods of Mars & Warlord of Mars to name a few. Some are available to listen to for free legally on YouTube & read by Thomas Copeland who has a really great voice & relaxing to listen to As with Lord of the Rings I quickly realised that the film had taken some liberties with the original text, but generally headed in the same direction – the books however are infinitely superior. The one big failing of the books imho was that they never specifically detailed exactly how JC was able to travel to Mars – other than by feeling it calling him & gazing up at it in the evenings. I’ve personally tried this on a few occasions & can confirm that it doesn’t always work – The film however gets round this rather cleverly and is an improvement on the original story imo Anyway – my point in this post is to recommend the film and audio books if you are looking for something to watch/listen to and particularly if you like an old fashioned action adventure/love story …set in an alien landscape The stories are very forward thinking when you consider they were written in the very early 20th Century as the Sci-Fi elements are very imaginative. The language is a little dated as it was written at a time when it seems that the English vocabulary was greater than it is today & certainly none of the characters are adept at the modern sport of virtue signalling nor do they ever finish a sentence with the annoying phrase “just saying”… just saying

  • Underappreciated gem of a movie

    I love this film. My teenage son and I watched this late on Sunday night, cheering and laughing throughout the entire film. The main characters are awesome. So many little moments between characters compliment the whole thing.
