an exhilarating experience

Rating: 8/10 (26 August 2000)

Francis Ford Coppola's opus about a captain ordered to take out a renegade colonel is a visual experience bar none.. the movie is stunning in its cinematography and the stories of the making of the movie are legendary and spawned a documentary on its own.. Of all the Vietnam movies Apocalypse Now is the best one that delves into the insanity of not only that war but all war..it is also one of the earliest to deal with the war itself.. If possilbe see it on DVD letterbox with a good sound system and maybe a slight buzz.. A brilliant movie.. on a scale of 1 to 10 Apocalypse now rates an 8
