In an early scene of a rainy "New York City, 1881" almost everyone is carrying an umbrella. While umbrellas were certainly around, they were still a bit of a luxury item, more a fashion item. Not everyone had one, especially the lower class. See more »

Dalton:
[after receiving Carter's telegraph, his nephew Edgar Rice Burroughs arrives at his estate to find out that Carter had died]

This was without exaggeration the most impressive movie I've ever seen. It's the stuff cinema and 3-D are made for. I experienced it as a partly breathtaking parade of impressive landscapes, panorama shots, aliens, costumes and sets connected by a complex story about power, resistance and of course love that culminates in a clever ending.
The only reason I give not all 10 stars is because I have to confess that I found the story sometimes a little too complex and therefore hard to follow.
But this feast for the eye is by any means the money for the ticket worth. I've never seen such a spectacular movie. My dream fulfilled: A new overwhelming sf- spectacular which isn't part of the Star Wars or Star Trek franchise but opens a new rich and fantastic world and which has- in opposite to the SW prequels- a logical and intricate story.
All my hopes that it won't bomb but allow new adventures with John Carter on the Mars to be filmed.
