It stars Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins, Mark Strong, Dominic West, Ciarán Hinds, Bryan Cranston, Samantha Morton, Willem Dafoe and Thomas Hayden Church.

Spoiler Section: 00:53:57 – 1:00:58 – Fast forward this bit if you don’t want to hear spoilers.
Our Verdict: A rollicking fun adventure film that will be enjoyed by those that loved films like Raiders of the Lost Ark and Star Wars.

Lists of Five
This week our Lists of Five: Five Great Films Set On Another Planet. Inspired by John Carter, we visit films that take place on far away places.
Just a reminder, because we never like to just make things easy on ourselves, our lists are not necessarily top five lists, they are more or a less a list of film recommendations within the theme of the list.
