Disney’s John Carter (of Mars) is coming to Blu-ray on June 5, 2012, and in celebration of the release of this very underrated film, we’re giving away a copy to one lucky reader of DisneyTouristBlog.com, courtesy of Disney! If you don’t like free things, you can always pre-order a copy of John Carter on Blu-ray and DVD–and you should if you don’t win, because this film is awesome. You can read more about that in our review.
The lucky winner will receive the John Carter Combo Pack, which includes the movie on both Blu-ray and DVD. If you read my review, you know I’m really high on this film. I recently even picked up a copy of the awesome (but now out of print and insanely expensive) Art of John Carter book from the local library. I actually preferred John Carter to the Avengers (Sarah preferred the Avengers, but loved both)! That’s how much I love this film. You can read more of my gushing in my review. For now, more about the contest…

Entering the contest! My all-time favorite sci-fi movie is The Empire Strikes Back.
I loved the movie. Saw it twice at the theater. Looking forward to seeing it again.
Loved this movie. Wish the marketing for it was better.
This movie was pretty awesome. Empire Strikes back is my favorite sci-fi film.
Truly one of the best movies nobody has seen…
Can’t wait.
Favorite SciFi is Star Wars!! love the Ewoks
I’m not a big SciFi fan, but my husband certainly is, so he would enjoy making me watch this film with him!
The Empire Strikes Back and Blade Runner!
Didn’t see it in the theater but am planning on buying it – if I don’t win, that is!
John Carter is a terrific film. I’m a fan of the Burroughs novels, and this was a terrific adaption. If they just promoted the involvement of Pixar (the Tharks are AMAZING!) and made a Woola doll, they’d have done much better!
Oh, to answer the question . . . my favorite Sci Fi film is now JC. Before that, I’d have to give the nod to Star Trek III: Search For Spock followed by Forbidden Planet (just because I loved Robbie the Robot as a kid!)
Looking forward to watching this one! Entering …
This is awesome!
Entering the contest! My son wanted to see it so much and we didn’t get a chance while it was in the theaters.
Feel bad that I missed it in the theaters.
Favorite Sci Fi is probably the Star Wars series. I really look forward to seeing this movie. My husband is a big fan of the Barsoom series. He has been very excited to see this movie!
I love the Blog and really want to see this movie! Keep up the good work!
That’s a tough call! As there are several that rank pretty high on my list. But I’m going to go with ALIEN(1979)! It’s definitey a classic in the sci-fi genre!
Alien! (and I’m psyched for ‘Prometheus’)
Saw it when it was out in theater, was a really good movie.
2001: a space odyssey.
Or… Forbidden Planet!
Anyway, please let me win!
really want to see this. favorite sci fi movie has to be Alien
Best sci-fi ever is ET!!!! But- I haven’t seen John Carter yet…
My favorite Sci-Fi film is Westworld. It has the perfect combination of Science Fiction, fun and suspense. I’ll never become bored with it.
ALIEN all the way!!!!!
Is it bad that I thought the entry thing said “rolfcopter” and not “rafflecopter”? Still a funny name tho!
I loved Cinderella and still do
Loved John Carter, and very disappointed that it appears to be a one and done. The subject matter is ripe with adventure for this character and is a franchise that is done correctly could have great results for disney down the road.
Just read the books and can’t wait to see this for the first time!
Wahooo hope I win!!
My favorite all-time science fiction movie is this little known movie called star wars a new hope from 1977. Anyone heard of it?
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind!
Oops. I forgot to mention my favorite sci-fi movie, Serenity.
I hope the contest is still on … and the May 8 date is a typo. Really looking forward to John Carter after missing it at the theater.
Sorry I missed this while it was in theaters so I really hope I win! I didn’t know anything about this movie until I saw previews for it at the D23 Expo and it looked great! Thanks for your review and opportunity to win!
Oh, I almost forgot, my favorite science fiction movie is the original Star Wars.
I’m really looking forward to seeing this, despite the bad reviews. I missed it in the theaters.
It would have to be Star Wars.
Love Sci Fi movies and 2001 A Space Odyssey is one of my all time favs!!
I’ve been looking forward to seeing this movie for a long time, but I haven’t had the chance to see it. Overall my favorite sci-fi movie has to be all of the star wars movies.
This is a hard one, I would say Star Wars the Return of the Jedi.
Take me back to Barsoom! What a wonderful film. Too bad the marketing intentionally tanked it.
My favorite sci-fi movie is probably the 1977 Star Wars. Some days it might be Empire Strikes Back, though.
Fave sci if movie is star wars series , xmen (although not as well done as could be), and sci if show is walking dead
Haven’t seen it yet but love Sci-fi films and always appreciate a free movie. MIB3 was pretty good BTW, worth a look.
Missed it in the theaters, so the Blu-Ray/DVD is really tempting.
My favorite Sci-fi movie is Star Wars 3.
