It’s too early to declare Horizon a success, a disaster, or even a noble failure, though this first instalment makes it clear audiences traveling west with Costner should prepare for a lengthy trek.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 28, 2025

Costner is consistently deconstructing the myths of the American West, of manifest destiny and the idea that these people had a claim to anything. He shows us, and them, that this promised land of profit and glory never even existed at all.

| Original Score: A | Dec 22, 2024

To be fair, it is difficult to judge the film since it is only 1/4 of the whole story.

| Original Score: C+ | Dec 7, 2024

It's an above-average production, but we cannot conclude anything yet, as we have not seen the end. [Full review in Spanish]

| Nov 25, 2024

Looking for the sweeping scope that personifies the full title’s concept of saga, Costner stumbles along the way as he cross cuts between places and characters, failing to make all connections clear.

Were this a limited television series it would be showered with awards. As a film, and much to my irritation now that I’m hooked in, it very likely is not even going to have an ending.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 23, 2024

A super emotive and impassioned movie that's incredibly well-made. [Full review in Spanish]

... it may ultimately be best served as longform 온라인카지노추천, less a film cycle than an epic miniseries charting the westward march of American settlers.

Comes together like a jigsaw puzzle - an epic jigsaw puzzle. Does enough to make me want to see Chapter 2 and Chapter 3.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 18, 2024

Costner’s sweeping, imperfect saga is an unapologetic return to the roots and conventions of a classic western.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 14, 2024

It is only partially successful as a stand-alone experience, but may very well prove to be a strong foundation for what is to come

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 3, 2024

While “Horizon” is crammed with visual wonders it has very little feeling beyond the terror of an unpleasant death. Only a couple of times does the script strike a satisfying emotional note.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 28, 2024

The raid on the small town at the beginning of the film could be remembered as an impeccable Westen sequence in the years to come. There, Costner builds tension and imagery that his mind has been formulating for decades.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 24, 2024

An American Saga? ... Chapter 1? ... It all seems a bit much, and we haven’t even started the film. And then, once we do, it’s soon we realize that, yes, Horizon most certainly is a bit much, and also not enough.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 17, 2024

Horizon is big and bold and majestic, with cinematographer J. Michael Muro capturing those expansive Utah vistas and John Debney’s score making sure that the film sounds just like the Westerns that play in the heads of everybody...

| Aug 8, 2024

A monumental work in terms of what it is telling: the original myth of a country. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 7, 2024

Although there are hints of complex themes within some of these plots, and the actors all give reasonably strong performances as their characters, Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 doesn’t really know what to do with any of them yet.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 5, 2024

Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter One delivers shockingly few substantial wins over its 181-minute runtime.

| Jul 30, 2024

Costner does a terrific job setting up the beauty & courage of post-Civil War America before unveiling the brutal reality that came with settling an already inhabited nation. Horizon is a remarkable achievement and a reminder of Costner’s enduring legacy.

| Jul 29, 2024

If Costner, the actor, is rather under-stated and potentially under-used at this point, Costner the director and co-writer does a good job of ensuring the indigenous peoples’ perspective (and language) is included in the narrative mix.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 28, 2024
