Stream It Or Skip It: ‘Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1’ on VOD, the Clunky Opening Salvo of Kevin Costner’s Epic Western
Once upon a time in the West, Kevin Costner had an idea for an epic story about manifest destiny with a 12-hour run time, and the first part of that was Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 (now streaming on VOD services like Amazon Prime Video).

None of this is particularly surprising when the state of theatrical movies is in such flux, and when an old dog like Costner – who wrote, directed and starred in the long-in-the-works project, and ended up ponying up some of his own cash to finance it – insists on grinding out an overstuffed cast-of-dozens ultra-Western that for the most part appeals to a narrow, aging audience. Then again, none of this speaks to whether his efforts are for naught creatively; maybe when we sit down to watch it, it’ll actually be pretty good (he said, to the deafening sound of cheeping crickets, and possibly your snoring).
