Last night I saw the first chapter of Horizon on Netflix. I thought it was boring

the Kevin Cosner character never appeared until a hour into the movie.
Wasn't impressed with any of the characters or acting. It finally ended after over
3 hours.

1. Have you seen 1883?

I am about halfway into episode two, It's very good.

2. I saw it in the theater (one of a few)... I think the problem was it was meant to be four-parts

but the material would have been far more suited to a tv mini-series, which typically requires the first episode to set up the rest. Given filming/release of any further "segments" is questionable, I can see why anyone watching it now would be quite disappointed.

That said, it was beautiful cinematography on the big screen, so I did enjoy that.

3. I agree about the cinematography. Not realistic as far as the charactors, people traveling by

wagon train for months and they look like they just stepped off of a modeling set. It is just another
remake of How the West was Won.

4. Spectators seem really split over this project

I've heard Costner passionately justify the slowness and length of Horizons. For whatever reason, the westward migration and the resulting conflict between Europeans and Native Americans is a topic he is obsessed with, and that is the story he keeps telling ("Dances with Wolves," "Open Range&quot . I do intend to see Horizons, mostly because of Costner's belief in the project. A lot of times with artists, they profess to care about a project but you can tell that it is not sincere. But with Kevin Costner it is sincere. That doesn't mean Horizons will be successful, and the reviews demonstrate that for many it is not. (It is worth remembering that Kevin Costner was passionate about "Waterworld," a blazing disaster in every sense)

A big question is will he be able to find financing for the rest of the project.

5. tediously awful.
