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

Jake Wilson

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

Battle Royale With Cheese

Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 is all setup and little payoff as it lays the groundwork for further chapters. It can be tedious at times during its three-hour runtime.

A gorgeously rough-hewn tapestry of American mythmaking.

Kevin Costner's would-be epic Western is a tedious slog.

For those who truly want to sit back and enjoy a visual and storytelling spectacle, this is the movie for you. It is not getting the appreciation it deserves. Beautiful at its core.
