Biggest Box Office Bomb of All Time!

Estimates vary, but with production costs etc and advertizing, this movie lost over 130 million dollars!

Apparently Disney wasted over 100 million dollars advetzing this clunker of a movie, and to be honest, I don't even remember the ad campaign!

Like I have a vague recollection of seeing a movie poster once....but I can't even be sure if that's a true memory or not.

Maybe because it went 'woke' turning white characters into bi-racial? And having Oprah as a gigantic space being? GO WOKE, GO BROKE!

The acting isn't good, the pacing is off, and quite frankly, ITS BORING!

I'm embarrassed for everyone involved!

The Matrix Resurrections was a much worse bomb.

John Carter, Lone Ranger, The 13th Warrior, 47 Ronin say hi.

Unlike the rest in that group, 13th Warrior was great.

I actually liked John Carter.

The cheesy 2003 tv version was better. Yeah, it wasn't as "diverse," but at least it followed closer to the book than this heap of trash. I think they spent more time on the costumes than they did on the story or the acting.

never seen it.

worth checking out?

It's worth seeing at least once. The special-effects are cheesy, but get the point across about wrinkling time and traveling to other planets. If you read the book and compare to the 2003 tv movie, you can see that they followed it more closely, but improved on the story too.
