Well, I'm telling you about it.
I found the film great, although not particularly... It wouldn't be the one I would keep if I had to choose. But it's good enough to spend an afternoon with it.
"John Carter" (2012) is a film based on one big adventure of the heroic Carter, a character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs in his 11 volumes named Barsoom during the XX century. This film was created to mark the centenary of the creation of the character, 1912-2012
It represents the moments in the ones Carter supposedly dies and his nephew "Ned" inherits his diary, with the hope to discover the motive of his uncle’s death. The film "tells" with images what the diary reads.
It's the adventure in the one he was transported to Barsoom, the original name for Mars, by accident because he clapped into his hand an strange medallion.
When he appears there he realizes he can jump highly because of the difference of gravity. He meets the Green Martian Tharks and their Jeddak, meaning ther king, Tar Tarkas. That's when he discovers that in Mars a war takes place between the cities of Helium and Zodanga. He meets the princes Dejah Thoris and fells in love with her. She introduces him to the real problem and together counting with the help of Sola (Tar Tarkas daughter) they get to try to help the war really, not to just try to push it aside.
Will they get to it? What will happen between Carter and Dejah?
Hope you try to find it out.
I leave you the trailer and poster:
That's all, hope you enjoy it!
