NOW go see it.

Rating: Null/10 (14 August 2001)

People who didn't like the original version might like the "Redux" version better. For example folks who don't mind if there is a lot of death and destruction, as long as the overall tone is more or less like a traditional Hollywood crowd-pleaser (note "Titanic"). Can you picture Captain Willard having a good laugh? Could you feel sorry for Coronel Killgore, under any circumstances? Ever wonder what the guys in the boat did with their dead comrad? This version of the trip up the river is quite different, less depressing. I didn't even feel the need to watch an invigorating air-strike at the end. Great looking print, too. It may be less of an artistic triumph than the original, I didn't have the impression that anything superior was added, but was grateful for a chance to see this version.
