Reviews for Apocalypse Now Redux
The movie didn't 'need' to be lengthened, but it's great to see the cut footage.

This is the war-is-hell movie.

One for the ages when it comes to the moral battles of war.
08/02/01
Grows richer and stranger with each viewing, and the restoration of scenes left in the cutting room two decades ago has only added to its sublimity.

Top CriticThe wealth of pure stuff here, as well as its new proximity to sociopolitical reality, makes Apocalypse Now Redux the best movie of the summer by far.
08/02/01
The question does the added material add or detract from the experience? Sadly, for the most part, it detracts.

If anything, it's an excuse to see the film on the big screen, and that's good enough for me.

Adds to the stature of a genuine classic that remains a unique cinematic exploration of the insanity of war and the deceit that accompanies it.

[The] additions only attempt to clarify what was already evident in the original cut

Whatever you do, don't pass on the probably brief opportunity to see Apocalypse Now Redux on the big screen.
07/22/01
Does Apocalypse Now need a new, longer cut? No. Is the original inexplicably improved with one? Somehow, yes.
07/22/01
A great, somewhat mad endeavor, well worth revisiting in the theatre.
07/16/01
Still one of the most moving films of its genre.
