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). Dear reader, it flopped, leaving the next nine hours in limbo (Chapter 2’s release date was postponed, Chapter 3 started filming a few months ago, and I daren’t make a wager whether Chapter 4 even gets made). 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).
