"Alien Battlefield": A hilarious battle on a boring sandball

During the American Civil War, a brave and adventurous gold digger was accidentally sent to Mars. Not only did he have super-high jumping skills on Mars, he met various alien races and beautiful and wise Martian princesses, but he was also involved in a conspiracy and a power struggle, and became their savior and was admired by everyone. At the critical moment of resolving disputes, it was sent back to Earth in an instant. For the sake of the princess and ethnic group friends far away, he came up with a trick to defraud the transmission key to attract the enemy, so that he could return to his "hometown" to complete the great rescue mission.

The film was adapted from "Mars Princess" by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the famous American author of "Tarzan". to direct. Although the film can be called an apocalypse of science fiction themes, it has not reached the grand and huge political height of "Star Wars", nor has it reached the beautiful scenery of "Avatar". The only things worth seeing are a group of four-handed humanoids and two huge eyeless apes in the arena. Other than that, the masculine male protagonist and the princess of Mars who looks like Ciri are barely worth seeing.

If Disney wants this film to become another money-making tool after "Pirates of the Caribbean", the remaining two John Carter trilogy not only need to plug the huge loss of the first film, but also pay careful attention to investment. and innovative ideas. "Avatar" has caught up with a period of 3D chasing the tide that can be encountered and cannot be sought. If this film still uses the creativity of the 1930s to show off, it will not satisfy the extravagant curiosity of young people in the new century. Even if the mainland can contribute a lot to Hollywood's box office for the time being, the production team shouldn't take it lightly. At least, in terms of plot, one side has developed into a high-tech warship that is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, while the other side is a western knight running in the desert, so what do they use to balance the huge technological gap between them to fight for power? Not to mention mysterious people who can travel through time and space at will, why do they have to fight hard on Mars in the dust of the desert? Is it possible to win a sand ball and leave it to dig a hole when you are bored? ! Forget it, this is a sci-fi film, I don't want to be serious with the masters 100 years ago. I don't want to think, I just like to chew on popcorn to be instilled in children's shoes. In fact, this film will not disappoint you too much.

    Xingmei Chia Tai IMAX It’s rare that Disney will make such a grand commemorative work, and even using the Pixar team, you may not understand the ingenuity until the last minute. After all, it is a real-life debut, and Andrew is traveling to Mars in such a big time and space scene. The narrative schedule is obviously a little less popular. Fortunately, at the end of the film, Jobs's statement dedicated to all those who chase dreams is enough to make the audience aware of everything, indeed the only major production in March.

    The first Imax I watched...It's okay, the plot is still relatively old-fashioned

John Carter quotes

  • Dalton: [back at Carter's estate, Dalton reads from Carter's will] And lastly, I hereby direct, that my estate shall be held in trust for twenty five years. The income to benefit my beloved nephew, Edgar Rice Burroughs. At the end of which term, the principal will revert to him, in full.

    Edgar Rice Burroughs: [Burroughs looks shocked] Of course, I always adored him, but it's been so long. Why me?

    Dalton: He never offered an explanation, I never asked him for one.

    [Dalton passes an old looking journal to Burroughs]

    Dalton: It was his private journal. He was most explicit that you, and only you, would read its contents. You might possibly find some kind of explanation in here. I'll leave you now.

    [Dalton stands and offers his hand to Burroughs]

    Dalton: Again, my condolences.

    [Dalton turns and leaves]

  • John Carter: [voice over] My dear Edgar, I remember how I used to take you on my knee and tell you wild tales, which you always did me the great courtesy of believing. Now you are grown, time and space have parted us, but I reach out across that distance, to that same wide eyed boy and ask him to believe me once more. This wild tale begins thirteen years ago, in the Arizona Territory, between the Pinaleño Mountains and the backside of hell.
