Title: Poorly made video of a bad re-invention of a classic story
Product review: Having thoroughly enjoyed the original Edgar Rice Burroughs book, I had mistakenly thought that this might be a half decent adaptation or "re-invention" of the classic book. I knew that it had been "updated" from the era immediately following the American Civil War to a modern day setting; but, aside from a few of the names being kept the same and a few of the plot elements on Barsoom being mimicked -- the video bares little resemblance to the classic. The acting was B-movie at best (perhaps no rehearsals and limited or no re-takes???), the handful of special effects were apparently very low budget, the editing was rough, the reinvented plot seemed like something half a dozen drunk college kids might create as a spoof skit for a fraternity party. It's almost like a spoof being done, but they forgot to do it in a campy manner like "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" so you could know it's a spoof. Watching this video was a waste of time.
