John
Carter's story adapted from the novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Princess
of Mars, John Carter depicts adventures of the hero of the same name,
the former captain of the Confederacy Civil War, which is then
transported to the strange circumstances of the body and soul on the
planet Mars, in the heart of the ancient war between the two nations
humanoids. He became acquainted with the princess, Dejah Thoris, he
managed to save from the clutches of cruel than Sah.
This is the
starting point for an exotic adventure that says Andrew Stanton, a
former producer of Pixar (which we are obliged to Wall-E), Disney
recruited to adapt to film the first installment of the exploits of John
Carter.
It is clear that a person has a sense of sight! His wide
shots emphasize the immensity of arid landscapes of the planet, but it
turns plush red chamber virtuoso of epic battles this book hero.
The
special effects, especially the motion capture that gives life Tharks -
green Martians, who joins John Carter - is very successful. Picture is
not perfection, but it is approaching much - $ 250 million budget was
not wasted. We explore the world is rich, wide-eyed, trembling so much
beauty of the unknown: it is a strength film. But while the beautiful
scenery, the costumes - armor, in particular - is a "fake" (metal shines
like plastic), which, unfortunately, gives a small blow to the
credibility of this new world.
Beautiful score Michael Giacchino,
sometimes mysterious, sometimes lyrical, accompanied by a travel
scenario, and taking care not to idle without sparing any of us severely
ongoing battle, and providing viewers with an unexpected ending. We
regret that the wicked motives seem too small, and that history leaves
no more feelings to share: Taylor Kitsch and Lynn Collins camp is the
belief of the hero and the princess pretty charismatic, but not enough
to move the viewer.
John Carter, of course, is not a masterpiece,
we had hoped, but a series B darn effective entertains without complex
for two hours. The prospect of continuing it now seems unlikely that the
results of the first film at the box office is very frustrating: So we
fall back on the Burroughs novels to extend the pleasure of Martian
adventures.
