Piece of garbage. Nothing happens. Colin Farrell and Q`Orianka Kilcher stare longly into each other`s eyes for about half the movie. The other half is just nature shots passed off as art.
One of the best movies ever cried like a baby! if you want quality watch this movie it will take your breath away!
Only watch it if you desperately need an afternoon nap. I was itching for it to end - seriously!! I finally turned it off when I woke up after passing out due to boring. I am so happy I did not pay to see this film....
Dull movie. I tried to watch it on DVD in real speed but found myself bored, reaching for the phone and checking my email. 3/4 of the way through I realized that I had wasted over an hour of my life so I couldn`t just walk away. So I zipped through the last 1/4 in high speed/fast forward just to see if anything exciting happened. Although I couldn`t hear the dialogue, I could tell by the images it was a boring ending. This is a brutally boring film and a complete waste of your time.
Wow, This movie was perhaps the best movie in five years. I am an avid fan of many types of cinema, but this movie transcends the trite commercial material that hollywood is now so fond of repeating. It is once again affirmed that hollywood is still capable of delivering art. The poetry coalesces beautifully with the films music and its broader philosophical themes. So subtle is its stark horror, and it says in a whisper what requires most movies a half-hour. I heard, however, many poor reviews subsequent to my viewing. To you, I recommend Big Momma`s House 2, or maybe Aeon Flux, as they have a quicker pace.
the most poetic american filmmaker producing work in hollywood today. terrence malick delivers the most beautiful film of the year and a nice follow up to the thin red line, but the new world seems a bit long when dealing with fewer characters then in a film like thin red line and the story seems to familiar (pochahontas has been told many times before). malick also get a nice perfromance from mediocre actor colin farrell, but i guess when you put in a silent performance it helps. if you find beauty in the moving image than the new world is for you.
I am still "feeling" New World---Yes I m enchanted by Pocahontis!! Q` Orianka Kilcher is a "dream" !! Great praise for the producers and director for their tribute to authenticity!!! Sorry for those who wished for more "action" or "mindless dialogue!!!" The haunting beauty of the portrayal of the period and the characters is truly unforgetable !! Thank you for making this truly beautiful story come to life!!!
This movie cost me 2 hours of my life. I really was looking forward to seeing this movie based on the previews. I usually don`t believe what other people say and tend to want to see movies and judge them for myself. But please save your money and save yourself from boredom. My poor husband even fell asleep. I wouldn`t even recommend this as a rental. Just do yourself a favour and forget it even exists. I wish i had...
Let me in a poetry context.I blame the promos for misleading the story but really it is a beautiful piece of wonder when you see this movie the landscape of it is truly breathtaking for the 1st hour.Then it is in repeat mode which made me sleep abit and maybe you can say it was a disspointment but I cna understande why people would hate this film if you dont love art. This movie is Boring but I can fully appreciate malicks approach and his desire explore different avenues.Colin farell was a joke in this film while Christian Bale has more sense and compassion as a character. And the 14 year old pocahontas did her job well. Overall No
I realize this movie has been in the theatre for a while now, thisis just a sign that I should start reading reviews before I go waste my money on this artsy trash. I have never seen a movie this bad, and have had a more exciting time watching grass grow (don`t worry, you will be doing alot of that in the movie). Please listen tothe 40+ reviews that are on here... we should all lobby the movie studio to get our money back and also for punitive damages suffered during this horribly boring ordeal...
