John Carter : A Princess of Mars

[Guhndoi]

It looks kinda cool but I also have a feeling It won't be as good as it can be.

Never seen the Asylum one.

 

[Hunter Rider]

These should look awesome onscreen.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Ya those apes are much larger than I imagined.

 

[TheVileOne]

Lord the scenes I described were shown at D23. And the White Ape is huge.

 

[craigdbfan]

How good was the cgi for the ape polar bear thing?

 

[dark_b]

the white apes have white fur. and today in CGI this is the hardest part to do. there is a reason why in Avatar they stayed away from furry characters.

i am watching TinTin in november and Carter in december. but i will not watch JC in 3D. after Thor i am not going to pay for a 3D converted movie. f.... you hollywood.

 

[TheVileOne]

It looked alright. Like it didn't look "real" but it was impressive work. Really big and menacing. The scene was reminiscent of the first segment of the coliseum/monster fight in Attack of the Clones.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Bet they'll look much better by next year.

I am with you on this, 3D isn't all it's cracked up to be when it's done half assed. Thor was awful in 3D.

 

[dark_b]

i made a mistake. Carter is not in december. its march. NOOOOOOO

Not horrible, but not great either. Some camera tricks used there to make the YETI have less screen exposure.

THis movie should have better examples I'm hoping.

Yeah, that baby Thark looks very Pixar-ish.

 

[rogue trooper]

Very much like what I'm seeing!!

 

[Hunter Rider]

This is magnificent, who is making these pieces and how much do they cost?

 

[kickass]

I think this looks very interesting. Gives me a Stargate feeling. Is this based on a book by any chance?

 

[C. Lee]

Is this based on a book by any chance?

Seriously?

 

[terry78]

Seriously?

Just let it ride. It'll be much more fun.

 

[Sawyer]

Is this based on a book by any chance?

No, it's an ER spinoff.

I'm not familiar with this series and didn't look at the previous page to clue in because I was reading 3 other things. Excuse my ignorance, but that's why these mssg boards exist in the first place; to pass information along. There's no reason to be *****e bags about it.

To answer your Q, yes it is based on a (series) of books by Edgar Rice Burroughs (creator of Tarzan), the first of which (A Princess of Mars, which this film largely draws from) appeared in 1912.

Those designs are pretty damned badass. The baby Thark does look a little Pixar-esque, but I can let that slide because if they didn't make the babies look somewhat cute, they'd come of freakish and creepy. Because let's face it. All babies are ugly.

Thank you, Whiskey Tango! 1912, that long ago, huh? I might just check these books out. I'm cautious though, because I fear the movie might disappoint if I really get into the books lol.
