I watched the three hour Saga and liked the movie. However apparently too many movie goers were not abstract thinkers and were not interested in trying to follow the beginnings of multiple stories that did not appear to them to be related. So it appears, like Yellowstone it will most likely never be finished.
I would love to buy the complete Horizon saga on DVD, but that is probably never going to be available.
Oh well, gallant effort, but I guess it will be more profitable to produce films like High Planes Drifter or The Magnificent Seven. Or if business had not gotten in the way The Yellowstone series could have gone on for 10 more years.
If this is the end of the saga I have to give this magnificent film a farewell five stars.

This movie challenges our intellect and sharpens our focus. It is an excellent way to make 3 hours fly by in an instant. Today more than ever the wild west is forgotten and our freedom and priviliges enjoyed today are taken for granted. Thank you Kevin Costner for making this must see American Saga!!! Can't wait for the next 3 to be released!

It was very hard to follow with so many story lines. It was confusing and I had expected a better movie. Movie kept jumping between story lines. I may go to next one to see if it makes any sense.

I just dashed to my local theatre to catch the last showing of Horizon before it left the cinema. I thoroughly enjoyed the first chapter, and seeing it on the big screen definitely does the film justice, as the cinematography and scenery are sensational. In parts, it actually has a 3-D feeling. Six separate storylines are introduced, and then revisited and further developed in an ongoing cycle. You absolutely must pay attention, but the development is excellent, and I liked the fact that I needed to think as I watched. I'm confused by some reviews that couldn't follow the storylines and felt it jumped around randomly. It all made total sense to me. It revisited each story in the same repetitive order, and ended the first chapter with me anxious to see Chapter 2 to see the new developments. Mr. Costner has created a classic, timeless piece, that will probably not reach its peak until we see the correlation between the Chapter 1 characters, deaths, and storylines in the ongoing saga. As in any suspenseful series, this will take time and patience from the audience. The actors are great, and skillfully develop their characters as much as possible for an introductory chapter. I couldn't believe it when I realized the film was over. I usually make several washroom and stretch runs during a long film, but this one is so action-packed, I didn't budge. It honestly felt like an hour. Phenomenal film-making! Can't wait for the next chapter!

This brings to cinema what Trumpers bring to intellectual conversations. Not a whole lot. What a ridiculous mess. And guess what rednecks? They pulled the August release on 2. Boo yah!

It went too long, was a little hard to keep track of all the places, people and so on, but I think #2 will tie it together. It was just not as awesome as I hoped or expected. I will give #2 a change and will go from there. I loved the scenery, and the history...so let's see what's next! I'm hopeful !!

This movie was way too long and there was like 5 storylines going on at the same time. There was a very little bit of excitement with a lot of boring in between.
