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, known as Tharks. 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.
Edgar Rice Burroughs, who is the nephew of the rebel widower veteran of the Civil War and gold hunter John Carter, has to attend the funeral of his uncle after his sudden death. He receives from John Carter's attorney his diary and weird instructions to be followed, and Edgar immediately starts reading the journal. In 1868, the Colonel Powell tries to force John Carter to join the army to fight against the Apache and arrests him. However, John Carter escapes and Powell chases him. They are attacked by the Apache and they hide in a cave. They are surprised by a Thern and John Carter kills him, and the alien's medallion transports John Carter to Mars. John has the ability to jump high and has his strength increased due to the gravity of Mars. However, he is captured by the Tharks and becomes their prisoner. He learns that Mars, called Barsoon, has been at war for thousands of years between the Helium and Zodanga, and this war is destructing the planet. The evil leader of Zodanga, Sab Than, has received a powerful weapon from the Thern Matai Shang. However, Sab Than proposes peace if he marries the Helium Princess Dejah Thoris. However, John Carter and Dejah Thoris fall in love with each other, and he decides to help the Helium people against the Zodanga people. But Matai Shang sends John Carter back to Earth and his last chance to return to Mars depends on his dear nephew's attitude.
This is why we go to the movies. Ever since the teaser trailer last year, I've been hyped to see John Carter. And now the hype is justified. Based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' original science fiction novel written more than 100 years ago, John Carter is what the movies are made for. To tell a story, transport you entirely to a different place and become enveloped in that world. This is a film that tickles the imagination in just the right ways and makes us remember why we go to the movies. It's a magical film. It truly is, and here's why: In John Carter, you feel like an active participant in the film.
Most movies feel on rails, like you are viewing the character rather than traveling along with character; on-rails filmmaking is important, but it is not necessarily the most involving film technique. Sci-Fi films like the Matrix or Star Wars are fantastic films because we follow very unique characters and watch them as they grow; and you feel like you're growing along with the character due to the unique situations. It's hard to explain because films struggle with this today. Most films are made to be eye candy (Avatar), but John Carter aims to be involving and beautiful, and nails it. The first moments of John Carter are misleading, followed by mysterious, and then followed by wondrous. It's a really caustic combination, John Carter. But once it gets legs and starts to move along, John Carter unfolds into a fantastic Sci-Fi epic. John Carter is also filled with imagination. From the sets to the ships to the aliens to the costumes to the cities to the story to the art direction to the world of Barsoon itself, John Carter is bursting with a classy and original imagination. An imagination that is unscathed by today's pulp Sci-Fi, but rather an imagination that is highly original and incredibly old school. It's a simple story, but it works incredibly well. You've heard it many times in many different ways, but this (John Carter) is the source of all of that great science fiction that we've come to appreciate now in film form. John Carter is also surprisingly well paced.
There are many films that aspire to tell great stories, but most of the time there are multiple plot jumps (and plot holes) that end up confusing the audience. Andrew Stanton is a great story teller (Finding Nemo, Wall-E, Toy Story 3), and his ability transfers onto the screen really well. There are two plot developments that feel like they were "plopped" in, where there needed to be some pre-explanation of what was happening. These plot jumps were mystifying, because the rest of the film is very well directed and very well told. Looks like there were some editing/directing hiccups.
John Carter also features a phenomenal cast. It's made up of some surprising veterans, like Mark Strong (Sherlock Holmes) and Willem Dafoe (Spider Man). The main characters are less known, but do a great job. Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights) and Lynn Collins (X Men Origins: Wolverine) do just fine, but Kitsch plays a really good John Carter. The performances are pretty solid, to be honest. They are nothing Oscar worthy, but considering the source material and the human/digital acting that makes performances sometimes good and sometimes downright terrible, the acting is pretty good. You'll roll hour eyes, and it can get kinda cheesy and mildly predictable in certain parts, but for the most part I was pretty surprised how many face palms I didn't do. If you're still reading this, then you've probably haven't made up your mind about John Carter.
Let me assure you that John Carter is original, enveloping, and excellent. You feel engaged and active in the film as you explore this imaginative and carefully crafted moviescape, never feeling too dull or too fancy. John Carter hits the sweet spot of action, storytelling, and exploring an engaging world. You truly feel that you went to Mars and back. The characters you meet during the film are unique and engaging, both alien and human. Its script may stumble and plot lurch in random directions at a couple spots, but John Carter is ultimately a success, a surprisingly satisfying and wonderful Sci-Fi epic.
John Carter is based on "A Princess of Mars", the first in a series of tales of the adventures of John Carter by Edgar Rice Burroughs (who also notably created Tarzan). The series is of the high adventure variety of science fantasy, where you check your disbelief at the door and just go with the fun. Star Wars, Avatar, and many other successful science fantasy films owe something to Burroughs, and unfortunately those films beat Carter to the punch, so audiences may feel they are seeing something derivative of those franchises. And, in the production sense at least, they may be right.
Carter is at its best when the action is fast and the fun is light, with laughs mixed in with the punches and swordplay. A well crafted intro gives us an idea of who Captain John Carter is and what makes him an unlikely hero. Sadly, once transported to Mars (known by its inhabitants as Barsoom) the plot falls to tedium, with few action scenes separated by never-ending and never convincing "romance" between Carter and Dejah, the titular Princess of Burroughs' tale. The two (Taylor Kitsch and Lynn Collins) are so bad every scene between them is like a prompt to check your watch. Each of Carter and Dejah's tedious conversation is like hearing a weird conversation between a crappy Batman and Hamlet's Ophelia. The dialogue doesn't help; billboards don't have words this stiff.
The supporting cast is good enough to make an effort at saving the film. Ciaran Hinds, Dominic West, James Purefoy, Mark Strong, and even Willem Dafoe are all present and doing their best. But it's Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston who practically makes the film's opening all on his own. Unfortunately, these terrific performers are used to little effect, and the film suffers for it.
Production design for the film is a mixed bag. Visual effects are astounding, but costume design is weak. So in some scenes you have ridiculous looking actors boring you in front of beautiful backdrops or in incredible set pieces. Sound design is not good, and the score is downright pitiful. As much as the movie wants to be Star Wars, it just can't match Lucas' ability in that film to pull together the best of everyone at their jobs, creating a movie that looks and sounds gorgeous and works well together. Carter is more piecemeal, with a good quality here and a ruinous disaster there, a hodgepodge of the best and worst Disney could muster. Director Andrew Stanton, known primarily for his work on fantastic Pixar productions like Wall-E and Finding Nemo, surely gets the blame here. Though I've loved his animated features, not all directors of animation are ready for live action (as proved only recently by Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol).
As a throwaway popcorn muncher for the kids, this movie might prove a winner. The simple inch-deep characters and the generic comedy/action certainly seemed fun enough as long as you're not looking for more. But my warning to adults who decide to take the kids is to expect to be bored, and endure a long dark two hours of the soul.
Rating: 2.5/5 Recommendation: Wait for cable. See my other reviews at clarketaculargeek.wordpress.com
Rather than trying to overwhelm viewers by overloading the senses, John Carter's effects strive to create something new using as their foundation a book that's fired imaginations for the past century.
Check out Edgar Rice Burroughs' page here for information about Tarzan. A common misconception. Although it is true that Mars appears quite red as seen 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. a5c7b9f00b
