The breakdown: Pocahontas and John Smith meet in Virginia in the early 1600's.

Let me say first that I have no interest in dramas depicting Native Americans or the "discovery" of North America.  I only wanted to see this for Christian Bale, having said that, this was terribly boring to me.
A lot of the movie lacks dialogue for obvious reasons, Native Americans cannot speak English and can't speak to the explorers of England.  I don't like Colin Farrell so I fast forwarded through most of the first half of the movie, because he's in it and not saying much to Pocahontas, just making moo cow eyes at her and eventually sleeping with her.

Mr. Bale doesn't show up until near the end of the movie and ends up sleeping with her too.  They get married and have a kid after she was told a while back that John Smith was dead.  When she finds out he's alive, they meet up in England, but do nothing but talk.

The end, oh I think she dies of some disease?  And then Christian and his son float off in a boat.

So boring for me, but if you like this kind of stuff, it may be for you.
I say skip it.
1 out of 5 for Christian Bale looking smoking hot as usual.
