I have watched this movie many times, but it wasn't until I saw the documentary "Hearts of Darkness" that I understood all the holes and flaws. Considering all the problems, it's amazing this movie was made at all. At any rate Apocalyse Now does have a surreal quality that I don't mind seeing once in a while
On another note, Redeux is a total waste of time. I saw it in the theater (needed only one bathroom break) A real sleeping pill.

I agree, Redux was a disaster . . . . - mr grits 06:43:22 05/25/05 (2)
There was a reason it was on the cutting room floor the first time. The action and acting style was incongruent to the overall flow. The Playmate segement was totally emabarassing with the girls being incapable of delivering one believeable line. The rubber plantation segment, though interesting, disrupted the flow of Sheen's character. Was he a "pussyhound" or a soldier? Nothing about Redux truly fit for me.

After seeing it in the theater and several viewings on DVD I think that it flows better even though it is 50 minutes longer.
