How on Earth is this a good movie?

Rating: 3/10 (21 January 2010)

I'll start off with good comments. This movie had an amazing feel to it. It looked absolutely beautiful and had some of the best cinematography that I have seen.
But here's the true problem with the story. It had no real continuity and reminded me too much of the cheap independent films I've seen at film festivals. I could never identify with any of the characters and never felt much sympathy for any of them accept Pocahontas. This movie seemed more like a stage play than an actual movie. The actors didn't really seem convincing in their roles. The natives seemed more like Puerto Ricans than natives. It's like the makers of this movie have no idea of the concept of plot structure.
My girlfriend passed out from boredom while watching this movie, and I almost joined her. I actually like movies that start out slow and build their plot and characters (like you're supposed to). But this movie never got going. I never saw a point to it. Maybe I'm just too shallow, but I thought this movie was dreadful.
