Title: Redux-Not sure if necessary
Review: I believe the original film as a whole deserves 5 stars, but it is very hard for me to understand the importance of the added footage. Now, I am surely not one to critize Mr. Coppola; both he and his film are brillant. But, my question is, "Do the added minutes really make the story much better?". The absurdity of the situation is already apparent, and the characters have been treated with due attention. After watching Apocalypse Now-Redux I once again came away from this film astonished, but no more then when I had first experienced it. Though, if you have never seen this film I compel you to do so as quickly as possible, no matter the version.
Is the review positive or negative?
