DDoes this film have any redeeming features?


The acting is appalling especially that by the too aptly named Taylor Kitsch.
The plot is awful and the utter lack of any logic is not quaint it's sickening. Why it's on TV here every year is beyond me to understand.

1) most of the special effects

2) the production design

3) James Purefoy as Kantos Kan

Beyond those, no.

Requiescat in pace, Krystle Papile. I'll always miss you. Justice was finally served.

Don't forget Lynn Collins in that warrior outfit...

No the film has no redeeming features. Everything about it is awful or absolutely boring from the acting, the crappy action sequences, the dull look of Mars, the awful costume and ship designs. It just completely sucks.

I don't know. I remember not liking the space-time jumps at the beginning. It could've been interesting as a western, but fell asleep after Carter didn't get the gold, was ambushed by a Martian and suddenly ended up on Mars.

I read the book and yes, I love this movie. I don't get all the hate but I don't view movies through the book lens.
