- GoofsThere are a number of firearms mistakes throughout the film, mainly dealing with muzzle loading cap and ball revolvers being loaded with cartridges. The first part is supposed to take place in 1859, revolvers back then included the Colt Dragoon, Navy and Walker (which are used in the film), all of which are loaded by pouring gunpowder in the cylinders, crimping a ball (bullet) on top of a patch into the cylinder and putting a firing cap (primer) on the cylinder's nipple. The first cartridge firing revolvers weren't seen until around 1860 but were rare and expensive, they didn't become common enough for the average person to afford until the 1870's. The first affordable, mass produced cartridge firing revolver was the Colt Single Action Army released in 1873. Cartridge conversion kits for the Colt Walker, Army and Navy's seen here didn't come out until 1871.

Featured review
Landscape scenery is amazing! High expectations for Horizon and it starts out disjointed. Trying sew the stories together made it hard to follow.
Storylines are many making it even harder to follow. In time I believe they will come together.
Some time wasted on dialogue and the initial native raid scene.
The clash of two worlds and the splitting of the native world (apache) was very well written. Use of native american actors (speaking native tongue)is awesome.
The US Army parts felt a little too modern. The use of the word "indigenous" just did not sound right for that time. Also we have never been shown US Army compassion from that time period before.
The playful addition of African Americans seems very modern as well. No doubt they were there but living harmoniously with whites is hard to believe.
I will check out the next chapter and I hope the story continues to develop.
