Title: "Charlie don't surf!"
Review: I'll be honest. I'm not much on Vietnam War films, but Apocalypse Now was a great one, and Redux was even better. The sound and the picture is excellent. I was surprised, the first time I saw it, about how many people were in it. Marlon Brando WAS Col. Kurtz, but Robert DuVall steals the show as Bill Kilgore. The fact that the movie took over two years to make is unbelievable, but what came out was also unbelievable.If I have any objections, there are two. One: Why can't the movie be in a wider aspect ratio? It says on the Amazon DVD info that it's 2.35:1, but its actually 1.85:1. And two: When will "Hearts of Darkness" and the underground "Rough Cut" of Apocalypse Now be available? The "rough cut" is almost six hours long, but it wouldn't be bad to view it at least once. I guess we'll just have to wait. But until then, Redux will still be better than the original.
Is the review positive or negative?
