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.

Steve Pond

TheWrap

Horizon is big and bold and majestic, with cinematographer J. Michael Muro capturing those expansive Utah vistas and John Debney’s score making sure that the film sounds just like the Westerns that play in the heads of everybody...

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

Looking for the sweeping scope that personifies the full title’s concept of saga, Costner stumbles along the way as he cross cuts between places and characters, failing to make all connections clear.

Were this a limited television series it would be showered with awards. As a film, and much to my irritation now that I’m hooked in, it very likely is not even going to have an ending.

Rated: 7/10

A super emotive and impassioned movie that's incredibly well-made. [Full review in Spanish]

Oooofff. All over the place and hard to follow. I had such high hopes. If chapter two is ever released, I may watch it out of morbid curiosity. This is a tough watch.

A three hour disaster that was TOTALLY unworthy of his talent! He’s going to go broke on this valentine to himself.

Omg! I love this movie, it is a long one and I thought I would get restless, but there was so much going on. It went too fast and I cant wait till the next saga.

I really enjoy longer movies, especially at the theater. I like the storyline so far and the acting is what I have come to expect from a Kevin Costner film. The beauty of the landscapes are awesome as well. Am excited for the next installment.
