Can't wait.

I grew up watching westerns with my dad, lots of John Wayne, lots of Clint Eastwood, but was never really a fan of the genre until Dances With Wolves. When that movie ended, I was ready for 3 more hours. Then along came Unforgiven. That led to revisiting all those westerns I watched with my dad, and have been a fan ever since.

Horizon is a grand, sprawling epic or the birth of America, told with elegance and spectacle of yesteryear Hollywood. It proves once again that Kevin Costner is a master of the genre. I would have watched Chapter 2 immediately afterwards. #Cannes2024 pic.twitter.com/5ki7gxYqM3

Kevin Costner’s #Horizon is… fine. It’s very much a “Part I”, opening with “Part I” in the title and closing with what’s effectively a “Next Time” trailer.

There’s a lot of set up here, to the point that the movie feels like an introduction to the ensemble rather than a story. pic.twitter.com/fZ6KzbK9U8

Couldn't agree more. A great American epic in a tradition I feared was gone from movie screens forever. Sweeping, audacious, and so enormous in scale it makes DANCES WITH WOLVES look like a mumblecore movie. Three of the fastest hours I've ever spent in a movie theatre. https://t.co/1Ewhyh7Xwf

I have seen Kevin Costner’s Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 and am perplexed why this is being released as a movie and not a television series. This should count as a @OfficialTCA submission! My review from #Cannes https://t.co/AmRprWgZMb

Kevin Costner says the amount of money he's personally spent on "Horizon" is $38 million.

“They say I’ve got $20 million of my own money in this movie. It’s not true. I’ve got now about $38 million in the film. That’s the truth. That’s the real number." https://t.co/d8xycyLlAm

Must disagree. The Horizon movies, Alien Romulus, and the Deadpool & Wolverine are all I find any appeal to.

Yes, there's only one Marvel movie this summer, no DC movie, no Star Wars, no Nolan, no Villeneuve, and no Cruise. It's an off summer for sure. But this is still a damn solid line-up overall, with some legit potential...

- Alien: Romulus
- Bad Boys: Ride or Die
- Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F
- The Bikeriders
- Deadpool & Wolverine
- The Fall Guy
- Fly Me to the Moon
- Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
- Hit Man
- Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1
- Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2
- Kinds of Kindness
- Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
- Longlegs
- MaXXXine
- A Quiet Place: Day One
- Trap
- Twisters

For me, other than Top Gun Maverick two summers ago which was enormous on its own...the two Horizon films, Twisters, Deadpool, and Beverly Hills Cop are the most excited I've been about a string of summer movies in a very long time. Definitely the nostalgia factor for me with all of them...so that's a big part of it.

Excited to see this.

Critics are saying it's more Waterworld than Dances With Wolves. Also that it lacks flow and works more as a tv series than movie.

I enjoyed Dances with Wolves in the theater when it was first released decades ago

rewatched it again when it was on TV and it lost much of it's luster. large parts of it are just plodding along

and the opening scene in the Civil War seemed so cool when i was a kid, now it seems like it was done on the cheap.

Costner left the biggest show on TV, left his wife, and used his home as collateral to make a series of films that’s half-funded so he could sign off a video with “see you at the movies.” Absolute legend https://t.co/ldspJFd4hB

I don't care what the critical reviews say so far about the first Horizons movie, I saw a trailer for it again before The Bikeriders today and I'm pumped. After all, how many times have we seen these critics go gaga for movies they see at festivals yet the movies end up being mediocre (looking at you The Hitman)? Critical reviews from festivals are the least reliable IMHO.

I also wanted to say that every trailer I saw before The Bikeriders today was a non-franchise movie, and as someone who loved what Marvel did with the MCU it was still so refreshing and exciting to see unique stand-alone stories coming down the pipe.

Cannes was the wrong place to debate a movie like this, as it's mainly snob central over there. That said, it certainly feels like reactions/momentum have been steadily changing since...

Since @Horizonsaga got it's initial crap reviews at Cannes, there have been 9 more reviews added to @RottenTomatoes. 7 of 9 are positive and from reactions to press/industry screenings this week, that ratio will likely continue. This is going to end up fresh by release day. pic.twitter.com/VkFDVR6XwZ

And yeah, I had the same thought/experience at The Bikeriders. It was so refreshing to see so many trailers for original movies.

why not just do a 10 part series on Netflix or HBO?

instead of risking people not coming out in sufficient numbers to the theaters during a heat wave?

Because some things, like an epic story of settling the American frontier, need to be seen on the big screen and not a 65-inch TV.

Oh, and heat waves are the perfect time to sit in dark cool theater sipping on a frostee and eating popcorn for 2 hrs.

I hope you are correct but so far the media has been reporting this will be a big flop. that the ticket sales are not there based on their metrics

hopefully things have turned around and it crushes this weekend. I will go see it
