Kevin Costner as Hayes Ellison looking down at a person offscreen in Horizon: An American Saga
The Big Picture Credit where credit is due, Kevin Costner has made what is essentially a three-hour prologue into something that is occasionally moderately entertaining. However, just as often, Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 woefully wanders every which way. Some bits can be intriguing in isolation, both lightly complicating and reveling in the mythos of classic Westerns, though the result as a whole is simply far too scattered to hold together.
Release Date June 28, 2024 Director Kevin Costner Cast Kevin Costner , Sienna Miller , Michael Angarano , Jena Malone Main Genre Western Writers Jon Baird Much of this is understandable, as this is the first of multiple films Costner is planning to make, but an opening film should still be able to somewhat stand on its own.
Instead, we see the world through the eyes of a couple of key characters. There is Frances, played by Sienna Miller, who is trying to make a new life with her daughter after her husband and son were killed just as she forms a new connection with First Lt. Trent Gephardt, played by Sam Worthington, while the American Civil War looms.
Even then, several key characters seem to vanish from the movie, though this feels like a problem that has less to do with editing and more to do with the writing itself. Again, yes, maybe it’s just that we’ll have to wait until future parts to know what happened to them. This first chapter of Horizon: An American Saga is defined by how much it can jam into a single movie and yet still comes up short of making any of it feel meaningful.
