Critics Consensus

Kevin Costner doesn't lack for ambition as he sketches this frontier saga across the widest of canvases, but Horizon's first chapter proves too diffuse in scope for it to satisfy as a self-contained endeavor.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

There's nothing original about it... But I thought it was a serviceable Western.

The Nightly (AU)

The three-hour epic is dull, frustrating and sleep-inducing.

Rated: 2.5/5

The Age (Australia)

On its own, however, Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 is a long trek to nowhere very much.

Rated: 2.5/5

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

Awards Daily

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.

Stuff.co.nz

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

This was really good but felt like there wasn't a climax to the story for it to be that long.

Well done. The battle scene was a bit much for me but it was realistically produced. Characters were believable and the acting is spot on. Looking forward to Chapter 2!

The film overall was really amazing with all the different landscapes and things to see. Time went fast, hard to believe it was 3 hours and done. Some of the things that were going on needed a bit more detail. The introduction of the characters was hard to keep up on, there were so many. But since another movie is coming, I assume we will learn more about each character then. I plan to see the next movie when it comes out.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
