"Alien Battlefield: Battle of Strong Carter" (John Carter-2012)

It's pretty good-looking. It completely reminds me of the ancient fantasy adventure movies. It is like a tribute to the style of "Star Wars", entertainment is popular and romantic, and the reality of the earth and Mars are intertwined and has a taste of metaphysics. It's a pity that the actor's performance is not very pleasing, and the subject matter is incompatible with modern fashion, so marketing may be difficult to focus on.

Excluding the failure of the actor, the whole film is really well executed. The director has fully grasped the rhythm and depth that this retro entertainment film should have. Perhaps the degree of completion can be enhanced a little bit, and the density can be higher, but It's enough to surprise me now.

    It is the first time to watch a movie in a cinema in the United States, and the student ticket is $11. Although the 3D effect is average, there is still a sense of enjoyment. I'm not used to movies without subtitles...

John Carter quotes

  • John Carter: [as they are pursued by the Thark tribe, Carter touches Dejah's hand and has flashback to coming home after the war to find his home burned with his wife and his daughter inside]

    Sola: Dotar Sojat!

    Dejah Thoris: What are you doing?

    John Carter: [he jumps off the lizard-horse creature] Sola, get her out of here.

    Dejah Thoris: No! Carter!

    John Carter: I was too late once. I won't be again.

    Dejah Thoris: No! No! No! No!

    [Carter tries to force Woola to flee with the women, but Woola remains, as the Thark tribe reach him, Carter leaps in the air and onto the warriors, with each slash of his sword he flashbacks to burying his wife and daughter and placing his wife's wedding ring on his hand, then the Tharks begin to overwhelm him and Carter disappears under a pile of Thark warriors]

  • Tardos Mors: [In Zodanga the wedding procession is taking place, Dejah walks towards her father] I know that this is not the fate you'd have chosen for yourself, or for Helium. But choice is a luxury, even for a Jeddak of Barsoom. Even if in your heart...

    Dejah Thoris: The heart is a luxury.

    [Tardos starts walking Dejah down the isle towards Sab Than]

    Tardos Mors: Steady.

    Matai Shang: [Matai Shang is next to Sab Than as they watch Dejah and her father walk towards them] Remember, she is not the prize. The prize is Barsoom.
