JOHN CARTER

When the comrades at Pixar, Brad Bird, through the transition from movie to movie 3D animation with live action seamlessly through Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, it is not the case with Andrew Stanton. His first live action movie, John Carter, is an adaptation of the Princess of Mars, which is part of the novel series, Barsoom, written by Edgar Rice Burroughs that so far you know as the creator of Tarzan. In contrast to the "brother" who had the good fortune in terms of adaptation, John Carter just limping along. Got a project that is always wandering from one hand to another, and eventually recorded as one of "development hell" longest in the history of cinema, the project get the green light after Disney acquired the copyright. Injection of funds amounting to $ 250 million, Andrew Stanton gave birth to a magnificent project. Already, many people scoffed. Disney considered too confident given the John Carter is not too well known to the public outside the United States. With that much money, and look at current economic conditions, what could John Carter return on investment? The more important question, will the end result is as grand as expected by the audience?

An outline can be written that John Carter tells the story of Civil War veteran named John Carter (Taylor Kitsch) are 'thrown' to Mars after attempting to escape pursuit by the Indians. When an alien figure comes from across the planet, beautiful, powerful, and can fly, then there is no reason to torment him. Carter is a good relationship with the green-skinned Martians disgusts me Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe), and a fantastic daughter of Mars, Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins), directly alter the status of prisoners became a hero overnight. Its mission, to save Mars from Sat Than (Dominic West), a ruthless ruler Zodanga which threatened to ignite war when Dejah of Helium refused to marry her. Question after question arose after Carter began to explore Mars. Is the Barsoom (Mars) in addition to the water shortage is also a lack of fabric? Pity John Carter who throughout the film must be willing to bare chest so that the accused as exhibitionist. And as a distant planet where technology has developed rapidly over Jarsoom (Earth), Barsoom baseball really. Look at the way they fight, still wearing the sword cuy! Which makes me not understand, why the animals are still used as a super slow means of transportation? I understand if people refuse to fly Tharks, but yes mbok make adequate land transportation.

To the size of a giant-budget films, special effects from the John Carter classified as less bombastic and we have seen repeatedly in science fiction films before it. There is no innovation. Compare with Transformers: Dark of the Moon which has some amazing scenes. In some parts of the process even though the display still looks rough Helium and its wars scene was magnificent, and its 3D was not as good as Hugo. Even in the technical line is not as good as expected, Stanton able to realize the main purpose of John Carter, that is entertaining the audience. Yes, I admit that this film was able to take me to some fun moments and think about the burden of fatigue life in the growing pile is gone. Not the best in terms of satisfying the audience, but John Carter was not as bad as expected. Of course this does not include the sectors of the manuscript. If you try to judge this film from the perspective of the story, then most likely you will immediately desperate. Script is done in keroyokan by Stanton, Mark Andrews, and Michael Chabon, incredible ridiculous. If the quotes are often ejected from the mouth of a friend, "the film signifies tenan absurd!" And yet this is not the most sought after by the audience. Strangeness of the story of John Carter actually be for my own entertainment. Installing the lowest possible expectations for this movie turned out to take advantage. If you wish to spend leisure time at the movies with friends or loved ones, then the John Carter is the right choice. Chaotic, with no brain, but entertaining.
