It'll be portraying the experiences of a war-weary soldier who got transported onto Mars (aka Barsoom in the story), and eventually became a hero of the planet. And according to Leonard, the storyline will be very cliché, but don't care i love action movies, especially when there are topless guys running about. (Haix think I'm influenced by Nadya jie alr. Don't blame me ar Leonard Ma)
"The story comes from a novel written by Burroughs who famously wrote the story of Tarzan. "John Carter in all his well-sculpted grandeur has left a trail of honor, courage, brute strength and otherworldly romance from novels to comics, TV and now the big screen in 3D. The movie prepares to blow minds with a star cast (Taylor Kitsch as John Carter and Lynn Collins as Princess of Helium) and expert story-telling, led by winning director Andrew Stanton who absolutely loves the story." -Nuffnang
If I were to get teleported there somehow, I'd really like to explore if what i knew about Mars is true.
Mandy, the tutee, showed me this really short description of Mars of her Disney Mickey Mouse encyclopedia:
"Mars is called the red planet because of its rocky, orange-red soil...
Mars sky always looks pink or pale orange in color.
Mars has 2 moons which are not round in shape - Phobos and Deimos."
It's a given that I love to romantize things. :3
I'd hope that either Phobos or Deimos is in the shape of a <3 and the other in a slim and pretty normal crescent shape.
Also, with 2 moons hanging around, there'll be a higher likelihood of catching sights of the moons across the pinkish sky. :D
Can you just imagine it? The thought of pink sky with heart-shaped moon. :D Like a pretty only!
If Mars is really like this, I'll try all possible ways to get my beloved ones to come over once in awhile for a retreat from school/work/Earth.
At night, I can bring Leonard to moon-gaze (or the other way round) or jio my girlfriends out into the open under the moons and stars to HTHT.
Better still, my Best Bros for life and I can also get a few bottles of good beer, sit around in the open to chillax and talk about everything that we've missed out in each others' lives. CK, Ervin, Chao - miss yall! :')
I think in the day time, the sun would be quite awesome for sun-tanning.
Can put on bikini, read a book on Psychology; taking sips of cocktail while busking under the sun. That's life. No lectures/tutorials/15-page readings/articles.
Ofkox from the look of the youtube trailer of John Carter, its depiction of Mars is ... not so romantic. :s
To be frank, if Mars looks like this with all the monsters and the sun being so scorching (and no aircon somemore), I'll rather stay on Earth. My nose is sensitive to dust + i loathe being exposed to heat over long periods despite my love for the sun (on the beach) = No Mars (as depicted in the trailer) for me thank you very much.
Anw, if human happen to set foot on Mars to find that its environment is ok for human living condition, I'd really hope that we build up Mars to become a retreat/entertainment haven. No stress, just play!
Read on for some pics and synopsis:
"From Academy Award®–winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton comes “John Carter”—a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars). “John Carter” is based on a classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, whose highly imaginative adventures served as inspiration for many filmmakers, both past and present. The film tells the story of war-weary, former military captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch), who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly embroiled in a conflict of epic proportions amongst the inhabitants of the planet, including Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe) and the captivating Princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins). In a world on the brink of collapse, Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands."
