The legend of Pocahontas and John Smith receives a luminous and essential retelling by maverick filmmaker Terrence Malick. The facts of Virginia's first white settlers, circa 1607, have been told for eons and fortified by Disney's animated films: explorer Smith (Colin Farrell) and the Native American princess (newcomer Q'orianka Kilcher) bond when the two cultures meet, a flashpoint of curiosity and war lapping interchangeably at the shores of the new continent. Malick, who took a twenty year break between his second and third films (Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line), is a master of film poetry; the film washes over you, with minimal dialogue (you see characters speak on camera for less than a quarter of the film). The rest of the words are a stream-of-consciousness narration--a technique Malick has used before but never to such degree, creating a movie you feel more than watch. The film's beauty (shot in Virginia by Emmanuel Lubezki) and production design (by Jack Fisk) seems very organic, and in fact, organic is a great label for the movie as a whole, from the dreadful conditions of early Jamestown (it makes you wonder why Englishman would want to live there) to the luminescent love story. Malick is blessed with a cast that includes Wes Studi, August Schellenberg, Christopher Plummer, and Christian Bale (who, curiously, was also in the Disney production). Fourteen-year-old Kilcher, the soul of the film, is an amazing find, and Farrell, so often tagged as the next big thing, delivers his first exceptional performance since his stunning debut in Tigerland. James Horner provides a fine score, but is overshadowed by a Mozart concerto and a recurring prelude from Wagner's Das Rheingold, a scrumptious weaving of horns fit to fuel the gentle intoxication of this film. Note: the film was initially 150 minutes, and then trimmed to 135 by Malick before the regular theatrical run. It was also the first film shot in 65mm since Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet. --Doug Thomas

 The New World November 17, 2008
I enjoyed this movie very much. The scenery was beautiful and I appreciated the camera work. The simplicity of their love was perfect. They didn't need words to communicate. I think a lot of people could learn form their relationship.
Flawed poetry November 3, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is an art film (or "fillum," as the experts say). It's beautifully photographed, and the music by Mozart and Wagner add to the poetry of the movie. But the male lead, Colin Farrell, is unconvincing. Much of the dialogue by all is simply muttered (I lost about 40% of it). And the script is woefully inadequate when compared to the actual history of John Smith and John Rolfe. (In the movie, we never learn the name of the man who marries the native princess, nor do we hear her Indian name!) The film, even when cut, is painfully long, and sometimes even incoherent. This reminded me of the movie "2001". Critics loved it. Sensible people fell asleep.
 outstanding November 1, 2008

Without doubt, even the 135 min long version was already a masterpiece. The extended version of THE NEW WORLD is far beyound any description. Especially the now different structure of several chapters emphasizes now more the lyrical character of this outstanding film. Firts of all it is a quite different film than the shorter version. The 171 min-version as well emphasizes the miracle of Q'orianca Kilchers performance. How her face changes in the film, from a teenager to a /still young but almost very mature ) woman is one of the great cinematic events in this decade. Malicks fourth masterpiece proofs as well that the cinema of Terrence Malick belongs to the sacred places of world cinema today.
A quick note October 24, 2008
The simple fact is that you either love this movie or hate it, there isn't much of a middle ground. I for one, love this movie more than any other, but that is my own opinion. If you don't like slowish movies, I suggest sticking to the Disney version of Pocahontas. Please, if you don't enjoy this movie, don't write such rude reviews.
 Is there a rating less than one star? October 18, 2008
0 out of 10 found this review helpful
If there was a no star rating choice I would give this ZERO stars. Bad, Bad, Bad. One of the worst movies I have ever seen. I saw this in the theater and only watched the whole thing because I shelled out the 7.50 to see it. Stay away... you have been warned!
