"Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1" attempts to delve into the allure of the Old West against the backdrop of the Civil War but falls short of its ambitious premise. The three-hour runtime feels unnecessarily prolonged, causing the narrative to drag and testing the audience's patience. Despite the potential for rich storytelling with families, friends, and foes embroiled in historical turmoil, the execution is disappointingly dull and sleep-inducing. The film struggles to maintain engagement, leaving viewers more frustrated than entertained. Overall, it fails to capture the vibrant spirit of the era it seeks to portray.
