1. ...the romance of the three humans is secondary to the romance of the New World itself and all it symbolizes.
2. [Malick's] characters must consider their lives, consider each other, and resolve the situation like adults. And when they do, a story that seemed to be irredeemably broken snaps back together.
3. An epic retelling of the Pocahontas story that, despite its flaws, leaves you slack-jawed with wonder at times.
4. The New World is a thing of wild beauty, untamed and feral yet luxurious, sumptuous and lavish all at the same time.
5. These whispered ruminations are beautifully written, but whose voice are we hearing?
6. The Terrence Malick masterpiece I, for one, have been waiting for.
7. A two-and-a-half-hour cinematic mosaic meant by Malick more as a monument to himself than to the misrepresented maiden it presumes to memorialize.
8. A real work of art, a hearty meal in today's cinematic fast-food culture.
9. ill be cheered by a relatively small, but educated and curious contingent of ticket buyers.
10. Unfortunately, when you try to bring everything together, it's hard to tell what Malick is trying to get at.

What is a brief summary of the following reviews?
Despite arresting visuals and strong lead performances, The New World suffers from an unfocused narrative that will challenge viewers' attention spans over its 2 1/2 hours.
