I saw this movie last night and loved it. It is long - sort of in the league of other epics like Troy. (I always am a fan of epics.) The story shows the first landing of Captain Smith's expedition in the new world and how the Europeans/British interact with the Native Americans and get through their first winter. It also has the love story of Pocohontas.
The story and cinematography were just fantastic. I thought it had a lot of good lessons about dating/romance/marriage and perhaps life in general.
But I am not sure if I should spoil the story for those who might go. Did anyone else see it?
The biggest lesson is that things are not always as they seem and we must not paint a story in our head about what we would like them to be.
Here is the movie site in case anyone is interested:

If you click on About the Film and then Synopsis you will be able to read what the story is about. And also on About the Film and then Photographs you will see some beautiful pictures.
