John Carter - MPC VFX Breakdown

MPC VFX Supervisor Adam Valdez and Producer Phil Greenlow led the team delivering 180 shots for the picture. MPC's main areas of work were the "Warhoon Attack' and 'Helium City Throne Room' scenes.

From 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.

Great Movie. I have shown it to a couple dozen people and everyone enjoyed it. Too bad Disney did a horrible job marketing this movie.

The 'Marketing' thing is not just an excuse, its a fact. Disney changed the name from a title that actually tells you something about the film, into one that does nothing of the sort.

"John Carter" tells me nothing..

"John Carter and the Princess of Mars" tells me this is science fiction, tells me there's possible romance and therefore heroism, it being Mars means there has to be adventure, aliens too so possibly technology and action etc etc.

Add to that the terrible posters that didn't even make use of the hottest woman on the screen this year (Lynn Collins) and the fact that a few days after a lousy opening weekend Disney PR killed the film by stating it will loose them 200 million dollars at least. In the movie business that's unheard of, pronouncing your own movie dead on arrival that early? Usually studios stick tot he guns for projected badly performing movies to try to get more butts on seats like how WB did with Green Lantern.

Disney's marketing of John Carter was atrocious, the film however was actually quite excellent entertainment with a classic scifi narrative as many people are finding out. More so those people like myself are wishing they make the sequels but unlike some of us, a lot of those people never made it count in the cinema where the box office makes a real effect. Fingers crossed anyway!

@Ceejay I don't always agree with you but sometimes I think you are the only voice of reason left on this site.

@Dmon - lol, thanks! Well if we all agreed about everything then the world would be boring!

@nailbiter111 - However dull you and the people you know found it is from your own experiences. Me and everyone I know who watched it found it highly entertaining and possibly for me the film most deserving of better box office this year by a mile.

And judging by the views on this thread so far, more are in its favour than against it, so your assessment of the film appears in the minority.
