John Carter (3D)

It's "Avatar" meets "Star Wars" when "Conan" on Mars rescues "Xena, Princess Warrior"/"Runaway Bride". A Confederate soldier who has lost his purpose finds himself on Mars and caught in the middle of another civil war in Disney's version of Edgar Rice Burroughs' novel. Alien loved the primitive/high tech civilization and its 4-armed green bipeds and dog-like creature. The special effects, storyline, characters, action, and humor will make this movie popular with audiences, not the 3D. A warning to those who don't speak Martian, there will be some subtitles early on.

Alien gives it 3 ½ "transport medallion" stars out of 4.
