Cheap and cheerful try out for Edgar Rice Burroughs' (cheekily, his name doesn't appear anywhere in the credits) yarn, ahead of the long-promised big-budget version.
Antonio Sabato Jr. makes a decent John Carter, a US Special Forces soldier teleported to Mars ("But not the Mars you're familiar with.") but Traci LorRAB as usual, seems to have difficulty marshalling more than one facial expression.
Let down by locations that were over-familiar when William Shatner was chasing a Gorn around them and some bargain basement fx, it still manages to be quite entertaining.
 
Have you actually seen this? Wow, saw the trailer, and can't believe people are willing to pay money to make these type of films. I'm not against them being made, they are often fun romps, if you can take it, but isn't it tough to finance these turkeys? they must know it'll bomb.... at best!
 
I've seen it ("other means") and I was moderately entertained by it. It's below Charles Band but above Uwe Boll. Somehow, I doubt it's destined for the big screen.
