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...

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

Mitchell Beaupre

The Film Stage

Costner is consistently deconstructing the myths of the American West, of manifest destiny and the idea that these people had a claim to anything. He shows us, and them, that this promised land of profit and glory never even existed at all.

Rated: A

Crum on Showbiz

To be fair, it is difficult to judge the film since it is only 1/4 of the whole story.

Rated: C+

It's an above-average production, but we cannot conclude anything yet, as we have not seen the end. [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.
