Apocalypse Now on Blu-Ray: surely the Blu-Ray of the century

I just stumped up the dough for the fancy-pants 'Full Disclosure' three disc Blu-Ray edition of Apocalypse Now.

It should be called Apocalypse Wow because it has the best picture I have EVER seen on a BRD disc. It's freakin' indescribable, so I won't even try.

I haven't seen AN for a while, so I'd forgotten just how good it is as a movie.

See it now on Blu-Ray or else your life will not be complete!

        Like so many people you deify Brando and that puts the blinkers over your eyes. - Tony D. 19:13:33 04/06/11 (16)

        Not Sheen's fan, but for that role he was a better choice than Keitel - Victor Khomenko 07:02:40 04/07/11 (13)

        If looking for a great Keitel film see "Smoke"... - mpathus 15:13:52 04/07/11 (8)
        
        Agreed, Smoke is one of Keitel's best, but I don't like Ashley Judd or Hurt for that matter - Jazz Inmate 10:00:12 04/11/11 (0)
