Film Review- The New World

Chris has Alliance Atlantis preview passes for a year so we get to go see movies we otherwise would not go to see before everyone else does. Yesterday it was The New World. I am reluctant to say that the movie was bad, mostly because it boldly attempted to be artistic, and that alone stands it apart. It reminded me of Baraka and Yes. Yes is an excellent British movie that is spoken entirely in verse. Had The New World managed to emulate timing of Baraka and poetry of Yes, it would have been a good movie.
