Redux- More is less

Rating: Null/10 (20 August 2001)

I just saw apocalypse now redux. It's awesome in the Imax theater. The movie is still a must see, but the shorter version was better. Many of the extra scenes, the plantation and the playmates are superfluous. The extra scenes with Brando are good.
The acting is fantastic. The longer movie time makes the movie less surreal which is a shame. This movie was made for DVD. Even in 1979, Coppola shot it with four different endings.
Apocalypse now- Timeless classic Apocalypse now-excellent film
