  John Carter as a veteran of the War on Terror? It has a certain appeal, albeit not what I would have expected. Also, I note that this "lesser" film definitely shows the Atmosphere Plant of Barsoom being restored to function. The first Barsoom novel ended with John Carter uncertain of whether he had succeeded in saving Barsoomian life or not. I am hoping that the newer movie WON'T "reconcile" the currently-known facts about Mars by saying that John Carter fails and everyone on Barsoom dies. I'm for the parallel-dimension approach.
