Overview
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.
This movie couldn’t possibly stand up to the over-high expectations of a swath of rabid Edgar Rice Burroughs fans. But if you take all that away, it is a genuinely fun popcorn movie.
