John Carter

one movie a day

John Carter

why I loved it !

While not being the greatest sci-fi movie out there John Carter is good for what it is : an adventure film on Mars with a bit of romance and a not so subtle subtext about ecology. This is why I strongly encourages you to first see this good blockbuster movie and then read the Barsoom series from which the film was really freely adapted. Where Andrew Stanton gives you a brief introduction to the universe of Mars Edgar Rice Burroughs will give you a myriad of characters and cultures that lives on Mars. And if you have plenty of imagination you'll see that the action sequences are much more epic than the ones you can see in the movie.
