Riepilogo
Reviewers say 'Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1' is ambitious with stunning cinematography and epic scope. Praised for historical accuracy and Kevin Costner's performance, it faces criticism for disjointed storytelling, slow pacing, and lack of cohesive narrative. Some suggest it fits better as a TV series due to its length and multiple storylines. The abrupt ending lacks resolution, though many remain hopeful for future chapters, anticipating a more connected and engaging story.

Costner is back where he belongs, in a epic Western. A passion project he's had for years. It has a slow pace and it's ok, it works. The cinematography was great, you can see his passion for the West. The score was fantastic, and I'm looking forward to hearing more. Interesting characters and stories, eager to see the paths they eventually go down. This has a very impressive cast so far and I'm curious how much this will expand in the next three parts. Looking forward to seeing where it takes us. We only have to wait until August for part two. Parts three and four are filming now and expected next year.
It's not bad. It's just disjointed. It fails on a lot of levels. I think many people will enjoy it. I personally felt disappointment as I was hoping for a cinematic epic western. It felt like it belonged on tv as a miniseries in the late 90's. As much as people say there were cinematic shots, I didn't see anything that gave me that vibe. Medium shot after medium shot. This will be just as enjoyable on your home tv and you won't miss the big screen as much as say Dune or Oppenheimer. The characters. So. Many. Characters. We get barely any character development. Lots of great actors yes, but they are thrown at you left and right. It is also clear that there is probably 3 hours of deleted scenes. So many things happen with zero context. Characters fall in love out of nowhere. They wind up together out of nowhere. They cry for other characters out of nowhere. Characters show up out of nowhere. Who's a protagonist? Who's an antagonist? Some of the characters are over the top and fun, reminding me of classic western characters, but they feel silly here. The music is...fine....nothing really moving though, it's just there. It also feels too clean. Like either everyone is in very new costumes and clean and air conditioned or they are really really dirty, but nowhere in between. Remember when everyone was shiny from sweat and real flies flew around on screen? Early on I just kept thinking...something is off. Then there's the end. It's Part 1, but instead of a cliffhanger and a "to be continued" we cut straight into the longest montage of cut scenes from the next movie(s) showing way too much...for a movie we barely have to wait for. It comes out in 2 months. All that said, I'm invested in the story and I want to see how it unfolds. There is a good story and good characters here, but this would have been much better as a series on streaming where they could take time with everything. 6/10. (Like Dune, maybe Part 2 will change my rating)
Visually its amazing, as you would expect from A western movie.
It has some great themes and plot lines but even though its part one and 3 hours long it feels rushed and crammed in. Pacing was all over the place, characters teleport between places and times and feels like chunks were left out.
There are parts of the story when in one scene people are doing something, then the next scene seems like a year later with no explanations.
As a story telling vehicle its all over the place.
The cast is great,
The end montage to preview the next movie was just ridiculous.
Still looking forward to seeing where it goes but it really feels like a TV series joined together, with the odd part of an episode left out.

Horizon is watchable and even enjoyable in parts. The cinematography was well executed, a visual feast in places, and there were some interesting story arcs. However, I've never seen a movie so messed up by atrociously bad editing. Several times while watching I found myself wondering what the hell was going on. Had I missed a scene? How did we get here? Then it really goes haywire towards the end without even referencing what it is doing. As if someone has fast forwarded the movie.
The we come to the story and script... if you were expecting a viscerally raw portrayal of the realities of the old west similiar to Cormac McCarthy's 'Blood Meridien', you'll be sorely disappointed. Horizon is more akin to 'Little House on the Prairie'. Some of the dialogue and interactions are embarrassingly mawkish. Your sense of credibility is stretched to breaking point.
After you've finished watching Horizon, and someone who hasn't seen it asks you what it was about, you're likely to scratch your head and say, 'Er..........'.
I get the feeling Costner has bitten off more than he can chew with this production. He seems to have aimed for 'the western to end all westerns'. In my opinion, he's fallen far short of that. I hope the remaining 'chapters' save the day but I wouldn't bet on it.

The good: -Great cinematography and use of scenery.
-Good suspense and action in the first half- hour.
-Good film score to compliment the scenes.
-Not sugar coating or politicizing the conflict with the Native Americans.
The bad: -Juggling different storylines doesn't see to be Kevin Costner's strong point. The script was all over the place. I wasn't sure what the montage at the end of the movie was trying to accomplish. It seemed to appear all of a sudden and, just like the script, jumped all over the place. Was I being shown a flash forward? A preview of the upcoming movies? It just seemed really pasted together.
-Kevin Costner seems to have jumped ship from Yellowstone to work on the epic set of films and in doing so, seems to be trying to "one up" Taylor Sheridan's series 1883 and 1923. Not sure what Kevin Costner needs to prove, but it seems like with this set of films, he's trying to prove himself to be the better story teller. In my opinion he's no better or worse than T. S. but leaving a T. V. series where you're a major character with major loose ends to tie up just to create a similar project smells a tad bit petty. This film almost seems like K. C. has bit off more than he can chew. This is not the way to engage theatre goers to invest in a four set of three hour films.

Lo sapevi?
- QuizWhen shooting started in Moab, Utah, the temperature was 109 °F (43 °C). Towards the end of shooting, the temperature got to a low 9 °F (-13 °C).
- BlooperThere are a number of firearms mistakes throughout the film, mainly dealing with muzzle loading cap and ball revolvers being loaded with cartridges. The first part is supposed to take place in 1859, most common revolvers then included the Colt 1849 pocket model, Colt Dragoon, Colt Navy (which are used in the film), all of which are loaded by pouring gunpowder in the cylinders, ramming a ball or conical bullet into cylinder and putting a percussion cap (primer) on the cylinder's nipple. The first cartridge firing revolvers weren't seen until the late 1850s but were almost exclusively made by Smith and Wesson as they had a deal with the patent holder for the bored through cylinder at the time in the United States.
