John Carter - 異星戰場:強卡特戰記



John Carter (異星戰場:強卡特戰記) is an 2012 film. The movie stars Taylor Kitsch and Lynn Collins. The movie is based on the legendary Barsoom book series by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The movie is also noted as one of the biggest financial flops of the 2012 movie year. The movie cost an upwards of $300 million and generated roughly ~$282 million worldwide.

John Carter is an treasure hunter that stumbles on the Spider Cave of Gold. A gun fight breaks out and he's sent to Mars. Once on Mars, Carter has extra ordinary powers and helps on clan fight the other clan. We're introduced to the many clans, tribes, and cities of the planet. The technology seems to far more advanced than even modern day Earth. Just when there's a breaking point on Mars...I can't. It'll be spoilers.

The movie was not all that bad. Maybe it was because I went in thinking it would suck bad. It didn't. It was actually entertaining. I like sci-fi and this was well made sci-fi. The movie plot however was quite poor. Marry the great sci-fi and poor story telling, you get a decent film.
