Quite worth the price of admission. The abilities Carter was given to jump in the low gravity of Mars was overdone, far beyond what would be realistic. His other strengths were not consistent with the jumping ability. I liked the inclusion of Burroughs as a character and the ending leaves room for sequels. Similarities with Star Wars were obvious--weapons of Tharks are like Tusken Raiders, aerial battles, death rays, monster pets, etc. Don't know how the movie compares with the book, so have downloaded on my Kindle (for free) to re-read.
