This 2 DVD set includes the film and Apocalypse Redux. Extras include commentary by Francis Ford Coppola, additional and expanded scenes, featurettes, post-production, and making of footage.

Francis Ford Coppola's Vietnam epic, loosely based on the novel HEART OF DARKNESS by Joseph Conrad, tells the story of Captain Willard (Martin Sheen), a special agent sent into Cambodia to assassinate an errant American colonel (Marlon Brando). Willard is assigned to a navy patrol boat operated by Chief (Albert Hall) and three hapless soldiers (Frederic Forrest, Sam Bottoms, and Larry Fishburne). They are escorted on part of their journey by an air cavalry unit led by Lt. Colonel Kilgore (Robert Duvall), a gung-ho commander with a love of Wagner, surfing, and napalm. After witnessing a surreal USO show featuring Playboy playmates, and an anarchic battle with the Viet Cong at a bridge, Willard reaches Colonel Kurtz's compound. A crazed photojournalist and Kurtz groupie (Dennis Hopper) welcomes the crew, and Willard begins to question his orders to "terminate the colonel's command." The grueling production and Coppola's insistence on authenticity led to vast budget overruns and physical and emotional breakdowns. Considered to be one of the best war movies of all time, APOCALYPSE NOW features skilled performances and beautifully chaotic visuals that make it a powerful, unforgettable work. This collection presents both the 1979 original and the 2001 restored and updated version, with 49 minutes of never-before-seen footage, a Technicolor enhancement, and a six-channel soundtrack.

3 stars Flawed edition of classic.
That this is one of the essential war/existential movies is without question. However, this transfer is such a dissappointment. Pixellation is everpresent, particularly in scenes where the camera is looking upwards past a character, with the sky in the background. On a large screen monitor, it comes across as a very dodgy V.H.S. standard picture. One can only hope the eventual Blu-Ray edition will have been worked up a bit more.The sound is acceptable, but again perhaps needs a buff up. It would be nice to see this restored to its full widescreen aspect ratio- the anamorphic transfer ruins the sweeping horizontal sense of the first conematic edition. Zoetrope can do better than this.

5 stars Original Version the best
The extra footage version (Redux)changes the feel of the movie and only adds "Hollywood" type drival to the script.

5 stars A cinematic epic for all to witness and enjoy.
What else can another movie fan of this brilliant cinematic masterpiece offer here in just mere words? This is one of the greatest films ever captured on celluloid and should not be confused s just simply just another war movie, because it's not really in the conventional since.Very much in spirit of Homer's: The Odyssey, but inspired and adapted by Joseph Conrad's story: Hearts of Darkness; the documentary of the same name is must viewing for die-hard fans too! Just see it...no excuses. "The horror.....The horror."

A masterpiece that will only get better with age. The packaging is spectacular and at an affordable price. Francis Ford Coppola is a god.

While it might sound outlandish to speak of THE PINEAPPLE EXPRESS in the same sentence as CITIZEN KANE, in its own little neck of the cinematic woods the Judd Apatow/Seth Rogen comedy is perhaps just as groundbreaking. In fact, it's nearly impossible to think of another film that blends so seamlessly pitch-perfect stoner babble with high-octane action sequences. Dale Denton (Rogen), a process server with a weed fixation, witnesses a murder and turns to his dealer, Saul (James Franco), for support. The murderer is actually Saul's main drug supplier, and because of Saul's access to some extremely rare high-grade pot (called Pineapple Express) the two are quickly tracked down and put on the run. Like all Apatow/Rogen vehicles, the movie deals with the theme of men succumbing to adulthood and all the adjustments they are forced to make in the process. However, ...
