Director : Andrew Stanton
Running Time : 133 mins
Presumed dead following a gunfight when he refused to re-join the army, Civil war veteran John Carter (Kitsch) has actually accidentally been transported to Mars where he discovers there are living beings, some appearing as 12-foot tall insect-like creatures, while others appear almost human. On Mars he has the ability to leap long distances due to his unique physiology and soon find himself called upon for aid by Dejah Thoris (Collins), a princess who is being forced into a marriage to secure peace on Mars.
In spite of having heard some awful reviews of this movie, I thought I’d give it a go. The effects are really good – as you’d expect for a quarter of a million dollars – and the story is intriguing, but much of the acting seems a little too hammy, specifically from Taylor Kitsch who sounds like he’s doing a bad Alec Baldwin impression through much of the film. Fans of the stories will enjoy seeing this big screen adaptation and won’t be disappointed, but some might find the historical setting a little distracting.
