John Carter. A caring, generous uncle. Feisty cavalry man. Renegade captain. Interplanetary traveller. Loner.
A battle between good and evil. Exotic creatures. Space travel. Rugged, breathtaking landscapes. Towering structures. A besieged princess seeking help. Gladitorial contests. A planet under threat. Gods seeking to run their writ. And a race that seems doomed.
There is a flatness to the film, none of the spark or awe while watching films like
Star Wars or
Avatar. A sameness, a feeling of déjà vu. Driven only partly by the slightly wooden, lead actor and the character he is given to play. Made up only partially by the charismatic Lynn Collins. Enlivened only partially by the awe-inspiring scenery. And a storyline, plot that comes across as very ordinary.
I wouldn’t rate the time I spent on this film badly spent. There is enough fantasy, sci-fi, romance, exotica to sustain. However, it somehow doesn’t come together in a harmonious whole.
yes , lynn collins looked liked as a real princess
ReplyDeleteStory is that much predictable , but it added slight spark at the end , which made it slight spicy
and all those scenery was just awesome.......
yes as u said , lynn collins is such a princess
ReplyDeletestory is slightly flattered , but later it added some interesting at the end
and lovely CGI scenes also.....
