The endless sweat parading down the faces of the losing minds and the tired souls only enhances the fever dreams and the sights of the figures within the shadows. The…

The greatest war film of all time. Why? Because of the cinematography, score, soundtrack, acting, casting, dialogue, location, practicality, stunt work, emotion, morals, and everything in between. I hadn't even realised 3 whole hours had passed. Every shot had something to glare at with either your…
Obihulk lovedApocalypse NowNote:Upon my first time viewing “Apocalypse now” I viewed the Redux edition instead of the theatrical version. Which has a total runtime of 3 hours and 22 minutes. When viewing Francis Ford Coppola’s “Apocalypse Now” for the first time, I pondered the brilliant and horrific evaluation of what it…

Sloaners dislikedApocalypse NowDid not understand why this movie is 2 hours long and nothing interesting happens in the story.
Piera Scaraggi lovedApocalypse Nowme and cillian murphy having the same favorite movie 🤭
Mike T. lovedApocalypse NowA very fitting take on Vietnam, but I still prefer Godfather I + II as the better FFC works. But this was still highly influential, and is relevant both before and after its time. Love the foiling on how the enlists treat Vietnam as a game, compared to the actual savagery to win.
- Jacob Hall lovedApocalypse Now
the pressure that Coppola had on him after making godfather 1 & 2 was so high so for him to release another movie that gets just as much praise is impressive. i feel like martin sheen shouldve been nominated at least for an oscar. its sad that the cow scene was real though😔
Evan Vachon lovedApocalypse Now10/10 A trippy and psychedelic descent into hell set against the backdrop of the Vietnam war. Through the episodic nature of the film Coppola displays the varying impacts and the continuing degradation that war has on the human mind as Willard makes his journey upriver
nevan lovedApocalypse Nowa beautifully shot and phenomenally scripted war epic with impressive production value. great performances are delivered from an all-star cast including several young talents. the narrative is simple enough while fully enjoyable and left with a satisfying end

Metacritic
Remember the weird beauty of the massed helicopters lifting over the trees in the long shot, and the insane power of Wagner's music, played loudly during the attack, and you feel what Coppola was getting at: Those moments as common in life as art, when the whole huge grand mystery of the world, so terrible, so beautiful, seems to hang in the balance.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
As powerful as the movie remains and as much as I enjoyed this new cut, I have to say that the additional footage -- material that Coppola felt he had to excise 20 years ago to reach a commercial length -- has turned out to be something of a mixed blessing.
William Arnold
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Coppola and Murch have balanced their new edit with grace notes of sweetness, elegance and eroticism, and the payoff is grand, providing both a reprieve from the multiple blitzkriegs and a break in the monotony of the cruise up the Nung.
