John Carter
John Carter is a war-weary, former military captain who's inexplicably transported to the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars) and reluctantly becomes embroiled in an epic conflict. It's a world on the brink of collapse, and Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands.
Critics Sentiment
The Thark army commandeers Zodangan airships and flies to Helium
Princess Dejah Thoris escapes and is rescued by Carter
The film drops significantly when the romance begins but rebounds dramatically during the spectacular airship battle sequence.
John Carter delivers spectacular visuals and thrilling action sequences that showcase impressive world-building and CGI work. However, the film is weighed down by a tedious central romance, overstuffed plotting, and pacing issues that prevent it from reaching its full potential. Despite these flaws, many viewers found it an entertaining adventure that deserved better than its box office failure.
