I can understand why someone rates this movie a 10. I can as easily understand why someone rates it 1. It is a love-or-hate one. Not the kind of movie you watch casualy over a beer and chips. I felt like watching a mix of Dances with Wolves, 2001: A Space Odyssee and some David Attenborough BBC nature documentary. It isn´t a movie for me, at least not at the moment but I refuse to give it a bad rating because I see what the director wanted to achieve. And technically this is really well made. So I gave it a kind of neutral 5.

The New World was good. The first hour was incredibly beautiful in a slow, natural, wordless way, but unfortunately the movie never really returns to that. Instead, that's followed by an extended visual treatise on how man am become death, the destroyer of The New World, before spending the final third following a far less interesting romance. This is definitely the worst role I've ever seen Christian Bale play. The very authentic production and set design were great, as was the score and Chivo's cinematography. I suspect I would have preferred the much shorter regular version rather than the extended cut I watched.

This film as with most Malick is pure meditation.

Gorgeous cinematography, as usual with Mallick. The length, and unconventional narrative may keep some people away, but the characters, events and locations envelop you in this world and keep you invested. Seems very accurate too.

**_Arty, draggy historical romance_**

I've seen four of Terrence Malick's movies -- "The New World" (2005) and his three previous efforts, "Badlands" (1973), "Days of Heaven" (1978) and "The Thin Red Line" (1998). He's an arty filmmaker who isn't interested in making conventional "blockbusters." More
