John Carter - Synopsis:
John Carter, Directed by Andrew Stanton. Transported to Barsoom, a Civil War vet discovers a barren planet seemingly inhabited by 12-foot tall barbarians. Finding himself prisoner of these creatures, he escapes, only to encounter Woola and a princess in desperate need of a savior. This is the synopsis of the science fiction movie John Carter, which was released in 2012.
The film is based on the novel "A Princess of Mars" by Edgar Rice Burroughs, which was first published in 1912. The protagonist, John Carter, is a former Confederate soldier who is transported to Mars, which is called Barsoom by its inhabitants. There, he discovers that the planet is in a state of turmoil, with various factions vying for power. He also discovers that the planet's inhabitants are vastly different from humans, with some of them being over 12 feet tall.
The movie starts with John Carter, played by Taylor Kitsch, searching for a cave of gold in Arizona. He is then pursued by Colonel Powell, who wants him to join the Union army. In the ensuing scuffle, Carter is transported to Barsoom. There, he is taken prisoner by the Tharks, a tribe of tall, green-skinned barbarians. The Tharks are led by Tars Tarkas, played by Willem Dafoe.
During his captivity, John Carter discovers that he has gained tremendous strength and agility due to the planet's lower gravity. He also becomes enamored with Dejah Thoris, played by Lynn Collins, a beautiful princess who is being forced to marry Sab Than, the leader of the city of Zodanga. Sab Than is played by Dominic West.
John Carter escapes from the Tharks and sets out to find a way back to Earth. Along the way, he encounters a strange creature called Woola, who becomes his loyal companion. He also meets Kantos Kan, played by James Purefoy, who is a member of the Martian navy. Kantos Kan helps John Carter get to Zodanga, where he hopes to find a way back to Earth.
In Zodanga, John Carter meets Dejah Thoris again, and they team up to stop Sab Than from destroying the planet. Sab Than has been given a powerful weapon called the Ninth Ray, which he plans to use to conquer all of Barsoom. John Carter and Dejah Thoris team up with the Tharks and the people of Helium to stop Sab Than and save the planet.
The movie features some stunning visuals and special effects, with the landscapes of Mars being particularly well-realized. The action scenes are well-choreographed, and the performances of the cast are solid. The movie was directed by Andrew Stanton, who is best known for his work on Pixar movies such as "Finding Nemo" and "WALL-E."
In conclusion, "John Carter" is an entertaining science fiction movie that is worth watching. It features a compelling storyline, memorable characters, and impressive visuals. While it may not have been a box office success when it was released, it has since gained a cult following and is a beloved movie among science fiction fans.
