I saw the movie this evening. I purposefully did little advance research and went not really knowing anything about it other than it’s a Costner passion project. But growing up in Oklahoma and familiar with western history, the genre holds a special place. I really enjoyed it. The cinematography is beautiful. I liked that the story made you think and didn’t spoon feed the viewer or make it too predictable. This was best served by having the pacing move from different storylines like it did. I’ve read tonight (after viewing) where some folks think the movie is chaotic and frenetic in its storytelling, and I think that is somewhat purposeful. That’s what the west was like during that era. Sometimes decisions were made in haste that proved deadly, and this movie does a good job of highlighting this. I’m definitely looking forward to watching the next movie and hope for a full four part run. Thanks for your critique though. Always enjoy hearing others take as well.

Thank you for your insightful comment! I always love to hear takes of others as well. I was born and raised in Texas so I hear you on the western genre holding a special place. I’m jealous you enjoyed it; like I mentioned, I really wanted to. I didn’t mention it but yeah, the cinematography was good! Also, good point on it not being too predictable. There were too many things I didn’t care for personally for me to enjoy it, but I respect your thoughts on it. I will be seeing Chapter 2 and hope I like it a lot more! Feel free to check out my video whenever it comes out and I hope to get your take on that one too! Maybe our tastes will be more in line next time around 🤷🏻‍♂️

I didn't like it until the day after. Needs subtitles. I think next episode is going to pull it together and it will be epic

Movie theaters offer open caption (English subtitles) and I went to see Horizon with open caption.

Darn I was kind of looking forward to seeing this, but now I might just wait for it to come out on streaming or even wait to see how reviews for Chapter 2 are. I don’t want to get invested in it like that if it’s not worth it

@@jjdjj5392 I do encourage people to do what they think is best with their time and money, and yeah people won’t always agree with my takes, but hopefully it’ll be at least a good discussion! If someone wants to take my word for it that a movie is good or bad, that’s fine! If not and they want to find out for themselves, fine by me too!

I saw horizon....i liked the movie. Its an introduction to the upcoming movies. This one is just part 1....it shows the hardships of those times....

Why thank you, much appreciated!

Horizon is one of the best Westerns ever made, no idea how you could give it a 2.5 stars.

First of all, I appreciate you watching and commenting! I went in hoping to feel the same way you did, but there were just too many issues I had with it. It didn’t all suck to me, though; I do think Costner’s Open Range was a lot better (though I’ll grant you it’s a different type of story). My favorite western is The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, btw, and I don’t believe any western will ever top it. But I respect your opinion and I still hope I like Chapter 2 more

Watched the movie last night. Enjoyed it but was a little underwhelmed by what I felt was unrealistic makeup on women who are supposed to be traveling, living and working in the middle of nowhere but look like they spent 3 hours on their makeup. There were also some scenes that were unnecessarily drawn out. Much of the filming was done in tight such that the beautiful scenery could be enjoyed. However the multiple characters stories are interesting and you become engrossed with their plot. I noticed a lot of well known actors as well. Overall I give it a 7 out of 10 and will be watching episode 2.

Yeah it’s unfortunate. Plus I have liked Kevin Costner’s other westerns that he’s done. I just think it should’ve been approached a bit differently. I believe there’s a good movie deep down inside what we got haha
