It is way better than the negative critics are saying. A very good epic from Costner and you can tell he put his whole heart and experience into doing it well. He is a skilled story teller. The acting overall is very good and I can see Naomi Watts getting an oscar nomination, as well as Costner for direction. The cinematography is gorgeous and the flow of the storylines was well done. You feel like you are there witnessing the action firsthand. The child actors are amazing and are important to the stories. We are looking forward to seeing the next one in August.

Three storylines in the early West set in Montana, Wyoming and Kansas. The grit, brutality and boldness balanced by the earnestness and naïveté of those seeking a better life. How frail human life is and how easily disposable we are. How this rawness formed our nation and people survived is a testament to the human spirit. Finally, a candid story telling the Native American Indian perspective. Cinematography is stunning, ruthlessness is palpable and can’t wait for Chapter 2 on Aug 28th! Sat between two older couples who just didn’t get it, thought it was terrible, and they kept waiting for the plot. Don’t listen - it’s epic storytelling and beautiful.

This is what movie making used to be. Epic adventure with great story, great action, great characters and truly incredible photography over vast vistas. It's on the lengthy side, but we were actually sad it ended. Definitely a must see on the big screen. Can't wait for the next chapter.

Bold, interesting and educational sweeping epic. Acting is excellent. It must be kept in mind that this is a "saga" in 4 chapters - there are many threads in chapter 1 which are unresolved at end of chapter, but it's clear where Costner is headed. The epic story requires all 4 chapters to be seen. This might be a challenge for Marvel Universe devotees - to the rest of us, it is well worth waiting for all 4 chapters.
