Incredible classic!

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2002)

This is a must see film for anyone who appreciates military/war flicks. Not meant to be a historic reference but instead a revamping of the original book "Heart of Darkness". Apocalypse Now is fun, gripping, disturbing and mesmerizing all at once. Martin Sheen does an excellent job of acting. Robert Duvall who plays Col. Kilgore is my favorite character. Francis Ford Coppola created a masterpiece although had trial and tribulation that almost killed the movie several times while filming. This is a film that you can watch many times and get something out of it. If you own it (it is a must have for any film library) the urge to pull it out, dust off the cover and slip it in the DVD player will strike every 6 months or so. This film can not be fully appreciated without a home theater with surround sound. I have viewed it several times in plain TV mono/stereo. The 5.1 surround turned it into a whole new film! There is too much to say about it here. If you haven't seen Apocalypse Now, do so. Enjoy!
