Incessant mumbling by a narrator that you can hardly hear, and visuals that have no narrative coherence. This film is PRETENTIOUS!

The newer version is no better than the original cut. A total and comprehensive failure.

Metaphysical rambling and ruminative ponderance. A film devoid of any resonance or narrative coherence.

The first time Mr. Malick has failed, and what a failure this one is.

At the half way point of the film, the audience slowly started filing out of the theatre. I can't say I blamed them.

I think it would be fair to say that Mr. Malick has crafted one of the all-time biggest movie abominations in the history of the cinema. This one makes Ishtar and Heaven's Gate look like masterpieces.

I think it is a sham that this site allows the same person to "stack the deck." This film has received extreemely mixed reviews nationwide and after seeing it, it gives pretentiousness a new meaning.

The confused and drunken camera man ruined the beautiful story!

This movie was so bad I was driven to trash it on the internet 11 years later. It's still the only film I have ever seriously considered walking out of the theater on. Don't be fooled, it's not too smart for you. A film doesn't need action orThis movie was so bad I was driven to trash it on the internet 11 years later. It's still the only film I have ever seriously considered walking out of the theater on. Don't be fooled, it's not too smart for you. A film doesn't need action or a gripping story or robust dialogue to be good, it just needs to make you feel something. The New World just made me feel bored. It doesn't take too long to uncover the film's thesis of "Nature sure is great!", but the problem is that it doesn't go anywhere else for the next three hours. The people mesmerized by the cinematography are likely urban art school types who have never gone outside and looked up at a tree before. Expand
