Product Information

Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic tale of interplanetary adventure arrives on the big screen in this sweeping sci-fi spectacle marking the live-action debut of Oscar-winning director Andrew Stanton (FINDING NEMO, WALL-E). Civil War veteran John Carter (Taylor Kitsch) was still haunted by the violence he witnessed on the battlefield when he inexplicably awoke on the distant planet of Barsoom (Mars). Upon learning that the inhabitants of Barsoom are bracing for a major conflict and that war appears inevitable, John summons the courage to be the hero the Martians have been hoping for.

ReviewsVillage Voice - The achievement of JOHN CARTER is that it takes the elements worn to nubs by everything from "STAR WARS" to "AVATAR" to TV's "FRINGE" and makes them fresh again., Portland Oregonian - John Carter is too wickedly strange not to recommend. Movies this expensive usually play it much safer., Austin Chronicle - Old-school "Gosh, wow!" sense-of-wonder filmmaking is in short supply in these anxious days, and John Carter (of Mars!) left me with my disbelief in suspended animation and once or twice with goosebumps dotting my arms. And that's enough for me.
