Redux ?! No thank you

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2001)

This is just to tell all you movie lovers out there that yes, apocalypse now is definitely a must see, but now, you don't have to get the redux version, really, I've seen both and although I'm not saying the redux film is bad, I must say it really doesn't add anything to the movie...
Let's just say the 50odd minutes added are a waste of time : the original cut is unquestionably a master-piece, but the scenes with the play mates, the pathetic french colonialists or willard stealing the surfboard somehow don't fit in, at least not at the same level. But if you haven't got the choice you can still watch the redux version, you'll
just miss some of the magic I found in the original cut.
