The New World
“The New World” is America, specifically Virginia in 1607. It is the story of Pocahontas, exploration, discovery, and new beginnings. It is also the love story. The new settlers struggle to survive their first winter in Jamestown. The natives come to their rescue, but then grow weary of their visitors and want them to leave. Alien liked the historic look at people and their lives in the new world and in the old world. Alien didn’t like the transitions between scenes which were hampered by abrupt editing cuts and poor musical selections. The lengthy narratives made the already 2 ½ hour movie feel even longer.
Alien gives it 2 “quest for new territory” stars out of 4.
