I mean, Jesus christ, what's even the point in making movies after this? A quest through hell going nowhere. The horror...

I’ve had nightmares with more coherence and less dread. What is compiled here is not a mess at all, but something akin to planets aligning for a singular moment of clarity - Divine reason rising amidst Chaos. I found myself marveling at multiple shots clearly unintentional, and yet, wholly Meant To Be. Each weigh stop (the French, the Concert) on this highway to Hell isn’t a segue so much as a magnifying glass burning all of us good little soldier ants.

This movie feels like having some kind of a jungle fever. It pulls you in and doesn't let you go and the remaster is amazing. Brutal and beautiful.

The original release is far better. The whole section with the French was straight out of a different movie and completely messed up the rhythm and atmosphere.

Probably the best version of the film, Redux was definitely too long and unfocused. Definitely the best looking version of the movie.

It is some 25 to 30 years since this viewer watched the original: its virtues seem clearer now, even if the third act is still obviously a product of confusion and production nightmares. More generally, the script problems seem less a question of Milius or his politics and more centred around the inanity of Herr's narration. Plantation scene does add worthwhile historical context, and the surrealistic portrayal of war as a kind of nihilistic quest is justified and successful. Looks very pretty.

Viewed in IMAX in a superb aural and visual restoration, it's clearer than ever what a flawed, sprawling masterwork this is. Duvall's hilariously unhinged Kilgore is difficult to top, until you hit the sheer awe inspiring movie-star aura of Brando in the closing scenes, an enigmatic figure for which the great man is perfectly cast. Now that it appears to be canon, the plantation sequence is a near disastrous misstep which throws the rhythm and message of the film seriously off-balance.

Overwhelming to experience this in 4K on IMAX -- I think I'm a shade closer to understanding what my father means when he says he came out of the theatre feeling shell shocked upon the original's release... And yes, I don't mind the plantation scene.

Godard in an interview with Dick Cavett said the problem with Apocalypse Now is that there was not enough money in the picture. If instead of 50 million, if he had spent 50 billion dollars then it would approach closer to what the American war in Vietnam was about.

I'm very miffed they cut the scene where Kurtz read the news reports, but it still stands the test of time as the best war movie ever made. Holy shit. Scenes are still effective, that plantation scene still sucks the life out of the pacing, but the succinct streamlining otherwise makes this cut a bit more...defining

Absolutely brilliant sensory experience on the big screen,but still the French Plantation scene bogs it down,why Coppola kept it in is beyond me. Original cut remains the best

Saw on IMAX, August 15Th, 2019, and I have to believe that really enhanced my perception and opinion of this film in a rather positive way. Had previously only seen it once, and that was back around 1997, and it was on a regular/small size Tv in Noel's apartment.

The remaster is absolutely gorgeous and a huge improvement on previous versions, especially with the daytime scenes. The edit, however, only proves further that Coppola got it right with the original cut. It’s better than the Redux, but he still keeps the ENTIRE plantation scene (at least as far as I could tell), which kills the pace as much as it ever did. I was honestly really disappointed that it wasn’t cut down more. However it’s still one of the best films ever etc
