HORIZON: AN AMERICAN SAGA (CHAPTER ONE) from NEW LINE CINEMA (2024). It was Directed, Co-Written and Stars Kevin Costner.

There are four movie chapters planned for release in theaters. It tells the story of the expansion West by white settlers before, during and after the Civil War (1860). A 1850's poster, "Horizon" beckons people to "open" land. 

• Horizon: An American Saga-Chapter One - Opened in the movie theaters on June 28, 2024.
• Horizon: An American Saga-Chapter Two - Opens in movie theaters on August 16, 2024.
• Chapter Three - To Be Announced.
• Chapter Four - To Be Announced.

I walked into a movie theater at Albuquerque and watched "Chapter One." It is 3-hours long and Kevin Costner's character doesn't appear until the one hour mark. What I thoroughly enjoyed was the story-lines for the Apache Indians. The Native actors actually portray real characters instead of the stereotypical "Warriors."

The Western had very little CGI with only a few scenes. That is refreshing because every film these days has too much CGI.

Multiple stories overlap each other as the expansion moves past the mid-west. Each character is real as we follow their stories over the beautiful landscapes and terrain. The best way to see this Western is in IMAX. (Great Cinematography).
