I liked it. Looking forward to more
I liked Horizon. First off, it has three settings of astonishing beauty. It made me remember how I grew up enjoying Westerns but Horizon is digitized and in full color. Second, there are three main storylines and each are interesting. I had some trouble following the movie but towards the end I had a good grasp of all of the various storylines and characters. What helped most was connecting the storylines with the scenery. It ends with a montage of upcoming scenes from the sequel. There looks to be plenty of action in Horizon 2. The acting is very good and the clothes and sets are very interesting. The stories and characters are compelling. - sammyadelaiye - 3 July 2024
Feels like part 1
The movie presents an unsettling time in US history ridden with settler and native conflicts and follows 3 different stories that even up to the end do not connect with each other. We get a glimpse of how the stories will finally meet, part one in all its 3-hour glory doesn't go far in connecting the stories. The movie is however made for cinema. The locations, vast production quality and excellent cinematography make watching Otón the big screen worth it. The cast does a fantastic job and the movie is an old school western, so those hoping for major overhaul of the Western movie genre will find their hopes dashed, it's very much in the old school style. There are two major scenes at the beginning and end that are brutal, beautiful, poetic and action packed. I am excited for the journeys of the large cast. I can't wait for the second part but the first part couldn't work on its own but the trailer for part two promises a more exciting ride.
