JOHN CARTER
Starring Canadian Taylor Kitsch
Based on the 11-volume Barsoom series by Edgar Rice Burroughs – primarily the series' century-old first novel, A Princess of Mars – John Carter is the tale of an ex-Confederate captain (Kitsch) who is mysteriously transported to Mars (or Barsoom, as it is known by its inhabitants) in the midst of a war between the planet's nations. A surprisingly action-packed affair for a Disney tale, John Carter offers some real thrills. Check out our review here.
Journey 2 The Mysterious Island
Starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Josh Hutcherson, and Vanessa Hudgens
Intrepid young explorer Sean Anderson (Josh Hutcherson) traces a mysterious distress signal to a remote island that isn't on any map, and he embarks on a daring rescue mission while encountering a vast array of mythological creatures in this follow-up to 2008′s Journey to the Center of the Earth. Joined by his new stepfather (Dwayne Johnson), an adventure-seeking helicopter pilot (Luis Guzman), and the pilot's headstrong daughter (Vanessa Hudgens), Sean navigates the crumbling stone corridors of Atlantis and comes face-to-face with bizarre life-forms while on a mission to track down his long-missing grandfather (Michael Caine). Later, as seismic shock waves threaten mass destruction, the group must race to escape the otherworldly paradise before the ocean swallows it up. (Summary courtesy of Starpulse.com)
