Released in August 2001, APOCALYPSE NOW REDUX, a restored and updated version of the 1979 film, includes 49 minutes of never-before-seen footage, a Technicolor enhancement, and a six-channel soundtrack.
Francis Ford Coppola's Vietnam epic, loosely based on HEART OF DARKNESS by Joseph Conrad, tells the story of Captain Willard (Martin Sheen), a special agent sent into Cambodia to assassinate an errant American colonel (Marlon Brando). Willard is assigned a navy patrol boat operated by Chief (Albert Hall) and three hapless soldiers (Frederic Forrest, Sam Bottoms, and Larry Fishburne). They are escorted on part of their journey by an air cavalry unit led by Lt. Colonel Kilgore (Robert Duvall), a gung-ho commander with a love of Wagner, surfing, and napalm. After witnessing a surreal USO show featuring Playboy playmates and an anarchic battle with the Viet Cong at a bridge, Willard reaches Colonel Kurtz's compound. A crazed photo journalist and Kurtz groupie (Dennis Hopper) welcomes the crew, and Willard begins to question his orders to "terminate the colonel's command." The grueling production and Coppola's insistence on authenticity led to vast budget overruns and physical and emotional breakdowns. Considered to be one of the best war movies of all time, APOCALYPSE NOW features incredible performances and beautifully chaotic visuals that make it an absolute must-see.

Still brilliant but mixed feelings
Even though I think the original film has been diluted due to the expansion of the Brando and Sheen characters, and with the addition of even more surreal and ... read more »

Not what it says on the tin
This it is not the Redux version of the film. It's the original cinematic release with the Redux ending without the airstrike bolted on

"you understand that this mission will never exist"
So begins Captain Willard's journey up the Nung River in the remote Cambodian Jungle and possibly the most self contained and cool performance in cinema.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences is not infallible. Sometimes the wrong films win: Citizen Kane lost to How Green Was My Valley. Apocalypse Now lost to Kramer vs Kramer. Raging Bull lost to Ordinary People. Goodfellas lost to Dances with Wolves. Pulp Fiction lost to Forrest Gump. And Brokeback Mountain lost to Crash. But at least all those losers were nominated. How much worse to be overlooked entirely! I’ll give you an example: in 1958, the Academy ignored Alfred Hitchcock&# Read more
