Actually I like the "Special Edition" story much better than the original "Theatrical Release." Preachy or not, it makes much more sense and seems more coherent that way. The plot-change version was done, according to Cameron, because he didn't want to just chop lots of little pieces off here and there.
The extras on the second DVD are far more than I have seen on any other. Probably too much, but you have to give them credit, if one is a true film-hound, you will get a huge fix. Hours and hours; and I still haven't read all the script and storyboard stuff. Jeeez. The hour long documentary made me appreciate some pretty difficult moviemaking though.

I do love that kind of background info. The DVD of Easy Rider has interviews that explain why the film is so "choppy". I also bought "Applesauce Now" but regret it, it's not as good as I remembered it in the cinema. But if you like film documentaries, you should try to rent "Hearts of Darkness" the film Coppola's wife made about the making of Apocalypse Now. five stars for that one.
