Transplanted
to Mars, a Civil War vet discovers a lush planet inhabited by 12-foot tall
barbarians. Finding himself a prisoner of these creatures, he escapes, only to
encounter a princess who is in desperate need of a savior.
The success
of Avatar keeps the heads of the world movie corporations awake at night.
Cameron managed to create another world, populate it with unusual yet
charismatic creatures, create a conflict with humans, drop the main character
in and let us watch the development of the story. What sounds simple in theory
found a great response in peoples’ hearts, allowing Avatar to take in a lot of
profit and leaving fans waiting for the sequel. John Carter is so obviously
trying to be the second Avatar, it is impossible to escape from comparisons.
And comparisons are, unfortunately for John Carter, not in its favor.
