So, what did I think? Film Review- Horizon: An American Saga: Chapter One

Is Kevin Costner's latest film a return to the form that made Dances With Wolves and Open Range...or is it The Postman debacle all over again? So, what did I think?

    It's a Western by Kevin Costner. He doesn't know sci-fi... as seen in The Postman. But he does know the Western genre. Open Range is a great and underrated Western

    Absolutely blockbuster amazing. The scenery the photography and the music fitting in was amazing. The characters the good the bad and the brutal were obviously well chosen for that era. I sat rivetted at times with eyes closed but didn't miss too much. I loved this and didn't notice how long it lsdted. Looking foward to the next chapter.

    I completely agree. I haven’t seen part 2 yet, obviously, and I doubt Costner is going to be able to produce parts 3 or 4 given the box office, but I think a lot of aspiring editors are going to have fun cutting this thing down to a single movie. I have no problem whatsoever with something that is deliberately paced. That’s not the problem here. The problem here is that it’s badly conceived and edited. The early raid scene goes on forever, without any dynamic shifts. It stays at the same level of intensity interminably, and in the process loses its impact. The movie is shot like a tv show, largely in coverage, with choppy handheld, unfocused cinematography. Scenes aren’t staged: they’re just shot. …Awful. A tragedy, given what such an endeavor could have meant to a flagging film business drowning in IP. Biggest disappointment of the year.

    This was an amazing movie for people who are tired of jerky cam action flicks.

    Why the insults about ‘Paint Your Wagon’? Any movie that has Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin singing has to be a winner 😂 👍🏼

    Amazing!! just saw it today. You can tell from the first few seconds its gonna be good. Keep in mind, he is setting up 3 movies and he has one movie to do it, so there will be a lot of character development. But as soon as Kevin fires his gun, you KNOW which way this movie is going to be. Don't miss it!!!!

    I thought the various story lines were hard to follow. It's obvious they will eventually converge, though, and some serious sh!t will go down.

    The Postman is my favorite post-apocalyptic film. I love every movie Kevin Costner has directed. And sir, you are completely wrong about Horizon Chapter One. Good God, man, you’re from Ireland, you can be forgiven for not knowing about the settling of the American West. Horizon Chapter One is magnificent.

    Wow! I wonder what movie you saw because the HORIZON I saw was nothing like you spoke of.

    I hope you never review another film . You don't understand the plot in fact you lost it.

    You're wrong about everything. You don't get it. Stories are structured. In the first act we meet the characters, the main goal, the main conflict. In the second act the plot kicks in. There is a third act and, sometimes, a fourth act. HORIZON Part 1 is the first act. There's more coming. Your review is the most disappointing review I've seen. I advise all youtubers to avoid.

    I waited almost 5 minutes to then hear this reviewer trash the Horizon movie. Very upsetting... I'm not going to shred this reviewer, but I really want to.
