With only a few days to go until the release of Disney's much mediated “John Carter” film, here is something that should make the wait a bit more bearable: 10 full minutes from the film.

Ahead of the March 9 premiere of the film, Disney has released an exclusive video that should convince fans to go out this weekend and buy a ticket to see it.

Based on the early novel of Edgar Rice Burroughs, “John Carter” stars Taylor Kitsch as the hero, Lynn Collins, Mark Strong, Samantha Morton, Dominic West, James Purefoy, Thomas Hayden Church and Willem Dafoe.

The 10-minute clip above is a mix of action, comedy, western and fantasy, and functions as good character setup by introducing Carter into the story.

Based on it, one could say that the film promises quite a lot but whether it delivers it remains to be seen.
