We loved all 3 hours! We were engaged and never bored. Costner brought back epic Western to the silver screen. Can't wait for Part 2.

This was a great watch, like I have said on twitter I could listen to you two talk westerns forever. I’m still super excited for it and hopefully seeing it on Saturday. I love Costner’s work as a director, it’s far from perfect. But he has this earnestness and kind of naivety that charms me. I’m not surprised by James or David’s reaction to it after reading some early reviews and now having listened to all your episodes together multiple times. But we are all western fans and we want these to do well. So I’m gonna be seeing it multiple times in theaters, something I rarely do. Cheers to you James and you David, two of my favorite film fans in the interwebs.

Powerful David Lambert!

I’m heading into the theaters this weekend to check it out. I’ve been looking forward to seeing this film. Great feedback

36:09 got this looping ! this interaction got me laughing out laugh ;-)

I love KC his mission and the genre! I rarely go to the cinema but I will be planning a day to go and support! Hope it does well!

We need more westerns like Horizon!! Wish Clint Eastwood would make another western!

Movie was amazing 🤩. But my 67yr old mom I saw movie with did get confused once or twice. Mainly with hidden time jump in beginning, but date and places were clearly text subtitled on the screen. I thought it was easy to follow tho.

I watched red river last night at the cinemateque. Awesome, I now get the hype

Went with my friend and our girlfriends, we’re all in our mid 20s so outwith the supposed target audience. We all loved it and the girls want to go see it again before part 2, I think it could end up doing better than expected

Great discussion and learned much about the film. I knew virtually nothing about Horizon. I understand your confusion of the first installment going in so many directions. I was wondering. Do you think, at Horizon, everyone/everything converges and there'll be a revelation of some kind? I'm thinking of High Noon. Everyone in town knew something was going to happen and actually experience the conclusion at high noon. Thoroughly enjoyed!

WHATEVER KEVIN COSTNER DOES HE ALWAYS PUTS HIS ❤️ IN THE MOVIE AND I AM SURE THAT HE CAPTURED THE WEST BECAUSE OUR VIEW IS BASED ON OUR INTELLECT KEEP IN MIND THAT THAT THERE ARE FOUR PARTS AND KNOWING KEVIN MICHAEL COSTNER MEDIA SHOWCASE HE ALWAYS CONNECTS THE DOTS TOO!!!

WHEN WE EAT A FULL COURSE MEAL THE APPETIZER IS A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE MEAL ESPECIALLY LIKE WHEN WE ARE HAVING A GREAT CONVERSATION IT BUILDS UP THE SUSPENSE OF THE MIDDLE PORTION WHICH IS NORMALLY CONSIDEREFD THE MAIN COURSE°!! USUALLY THE MAIN COURSE IS ALWAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MOVIE 🎬 °°

Have to admit: not a Costner fan, but was lured into at least starting with the trailer. First reaction: sort of surprised it wasn't shot in 2.35 : 1...

Been waiting for this almost as much as the flick itself

As someone born in the mid-90s, i have found westerns to have always been just out of reach. Recommendations on where to start? Most bang for your buck while also giving a good encapsulation for the genre? Maybe a recommendation per era would be appropriate? Love the channel!

Finally - Lambert's take was the one I was most interested to hear. A legit authority on not just the western as a film genre, but also a genuine historian of the period. A very rare combo. I have to say, the most disappointing thing I took away from this review was Costner not getting the period details correct - regarding the weapons and costumes. I would have thought that Costner, having tried to get this thing made for over 30 years - and now having spent his own money and resources to make it - would have taken extra care to get those details right - that authentically recreating the period as closely as possible would have been one of the main reasons to not just make the films, but also to sell them. Just because it's so rare that it happens - especially now that westerns as a genre are a legit endangered species. If you're not going to try and raise the level above something like Deadwood - and with a feature budget you have that ability - what's the point? Really deflated my interest now.

I've oddly heard and seen the opposite from a number fo sources, that it is period accurate

@@triplec3217 Oh really - who are the sources? Genuinely curious. Lambert's pretty reputable with these types of things. If he says something is inaccurate or off, you can take it to the bank.

Why does David have a rooster behind him?

I did notice 😂 girls eyebrows in movie being so plucked and fine. But movie was best western I've seen in many years

Waiting for your review on kalki 2898AD!!!!

I am not rewriting the film. Oh wait yes I am. Too funny.

The best i can give it is a 6.5/10. Im a little critical but i have high expectations of Kevin Costner. I agree with you guys mostly. The characters weren't that interesting, i didnt know any of their names. I didnt even know Costner's characters name until someone else in the movie said it. Not familiarizing the viewer with the characters is i think a fault of the writing and the editing. I dont mind the 3 separate stories but it could have been handled better. There were times when i was a little confused. There are A LOT of little issues i have it with it. It didnt feel grand or cinematic. Looks like they shot it digital and i didnt care for the aspect ratio. It did feel like an Amazon streaming show.

The boys going off to civil war. Saved the girls life. Traveled together for 30 miles. Made them feel at home. Had at least 2 or 3 scenes with Dr., Cafeteria, Laundry with them being nice to girl. Probably together for weeks. So she was sad that they were going to war, not a patrol or Indian skirmish. A war for at least a few months. I think that was enough character building for a few side characters. So many people just weren't paying attention during😢 this movie.

They were also the ones who buried her brother. The movie is easier to follow on a second viewing.

Check out KALKI 2898 released this week

I don’t understand why the die hards insist that this movie is revolutionary. As both of you mention you can respect the ambitions of this project- but not like the final finished product. I also agree that aside from the problematic structure of the film- it is very hard to feel invested in most of the characters. Tv format would have helped develop these characters. Simply put this movie tried to be too many things.

Could you quote who these diehards are. I have not seen one person write or say it is revolutionary but more have said it is a throwback to classic old fashion moviemaking. Didn't see a inch of CGI in it.

@@bobbyjoesugar I can honestly say that this is the best movie I have seen so far this year in 2024. Maybe something better will come around Christmas but the pickings look very sparse till then.

90s western from Costner. Sorry, sign me up. Name anything close to 90s westerns present time? Cowboys vs Aliens? Westworld? Hostiles, 310 to Yuma. True grit. besides Hostiles, name another original good western recently haha. Nit picking

Horizon is not bad, but its not as good as I wished it to be. Frustrating and problematic at times.

I've always thought that Kevin Costner is one of the blandest stiffs ever to become a major movie star. I can't understand why he couldn't sell this as a mini-series to somebody who, unlike me, is a big fan. It appears it's not even shot in scope, that's a big mistake if you're after a Cinerama western vibe. Oh well, I'll wait for the full-length boutique video release and watch it at home - there's no way it's gonna be the WAR AND PEACE of the American West.

Let’s get it!!!
