Customer Reviews

Poetic elegy
This painfully slow movie by the genius Terrence Malick is a strange beast. I found it to be meandering and boring, yet I still watch scenes from it on a frequent basis; I cant seem to leave it alone.

It's a richly textured, slowly paced, visually stunning epic of the American past that hypnotizes the viewer with its tapestry of sights, sounds (great soundtrack) and colours. This movie is a tone poem that may throw some mentally challenged viewers through its use of interior monologues and lack of action.

Another problem i had with The New World is Oirish actor Colin Farrell. He does not really shine in this movie. He is a real metamorpher when it comes to his acting; he can really mould and press himself into a lot of different roles, however I feel that he would be better off with starring in blockbuster movies eg SWAT and The Recruit. He does not have a great acting range required to fill 'deep' movies like this, unlike the great Christian Bale.
