From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton ("Finding Nemo," "WALL•E"), "John Carter of Mars" brings this captivating hero to the big screen in a stunning adventure epic set on the wounded planet of Mars, a world inhabited by warrior tribes and exotic desert beings. Based on the first of Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Barsoom Series," the film chronicles the journey of Civil-War veteran John Carter (Taylor Kitsch), who finds himself battling a new and mysterious war amidst a host of strange Martian inhabitants, including Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe) and Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins).

MOVIE REVIEW

Its one saving grace: it makes you appreciate George Lucas's [forgotten] skill when it comes to directing explosive action, something that is so sorely lacking in John Carter.
