The Native American Tribe and the Europeans come together in this story and show the epic history of the first colonial settlement.

Rating: 9/10 (6 December 2005)

I had the special privilege of viewing this movie at its Premiere in The United Nations. I also had the honor of meeting the actress who played Pocahontas (Q'Orianka Kilcher)and one of the Native American Warriors (Brian F. O'Byrne) after the film was shown. They answered a few of the audiences questions and were very nice.
The film itself was enjoyable, especially to those who love a good plot. There are some nice battle scenes that were brilliantly choreographed. Ms. Kilcher's performance was outstanding and for her first film seemed to make it all the more impressive.
The New World focuses on Pocohantas' life and the creation of the first colony erected in the early 1600's and how Pocohantas' aided the Europeans. The film also includes the romance between John Smith (Colin Farrel) and John Rolfe (Christian Bale)which really helps to adapt the movie and her performance.
I have never seen the Disney movie of Pocohantas but I could easily imagine this movie having a much more in-depth plot and is a very must see. There is no gore at all in the movie and Pocohantas' romance is also kept very clean which makes the film viewable by all audiences.
