Effects that stood out for me were John Carters "Hulk" like jumps, Martian sky ship battles, green martians (as good as Avatar), and a cute monster dog sidekick that almost steels the show. Not necessarily ground breaking, everything on screen has been done before but its all smoothly done at a grand scale though not quite to the scale of the Star Wars prequels. The special effects here are pretty awesome. A lot of money was spent on this movie and it shows. I was going to say there isn't anything original here but how can I? This story was published in the 19th century so from that perspective, I can now see a lot of plot influences deriving from this in later SF/fantasy films. We even have a western thrown in the mix at the beginning. The story is quite a novel mix of Planet of the Apes, Conan, Red Sonja, Avatar, Star Wars and Superman (yep this is a superhero movie too). It isn't as cheesy as that film but there is a definite lean towards it. It has the spirit and energy of Flash Gordon including its own outrageously nonsensical but fun premise. Its an enjoyable if very cheesy Sci-fi fantasy blockbuster. Well, this turned out to be quite a blast. I never read any of the books so only had a vague synopsis of the story just from trailers which didn't really impress me much. I saw this at a preview screening in London.
