Title: Avoid this edition at all costs!
Review: It is incomprehensible what Coppola has done to Apocalypse Now in this new edition. Being a two disc set, one would think that the 1979 version would be on one disc, and the 2001 version on the other. This is not the case. Coppola has SPLIT the film into two halves, "Part One" of the '79 and '01 versions being on the first disc, and "Part Two" on the other. This cutting of the film completely ruins the dramatic momentum of either version. It must be noted that this cutting of the film was not referred to in promotional materials; one only discovers this after purchasing the reissue. So, save your money and buy the single disc edition of whichever version you prefer. Boycott this abortion of a reissue and force it out of print.
