Apocalypse Now is certainly one of my favourite films of all time and I have purchased a number of versions of it on different formats over the years – as well as seeing the original film at the cinema when it was first released. I’m sure the film itself doesn’t need another review from me so I will just add a few comments on the 4K version of the new “Final Cut” as there seems to be a bit of confusion about what is included in this 40th anniversary edition of the film. There are currently two versions of the Ultra HD 4K package available from Amazon – I have the three disc version which costs around twenty pounds, but there is also a six disc Collector’s Edition costing considerably more. The three disc version offers the final cut of the film running to around 183 minutes with disc one being region-free 4K 2160p UHD, disc two offers the standard region B Blu-ray 1080p HD – both discs feature Dolby Atmos audio. Disc three has “Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse” plus the other special features in standard Blu-ray and include an introduction to the Final Cut by director Francis Ford Coppola, a Tribeca Film Festival Q&A with Francis Ford Coppola and Steven Soderbergh, some Super 8mm Behind-The-Scenes Footage, Apocalypse Now: Remastering A Legend In Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, Apocalypse Now: A Forty Year Journey, plus Dutch Angle: Chas Gerretsen & Apocalypse Now. At 183 minutes this Final Cut is somewhat shorter than the previous Redux version (I guess by about twenty minutes) but about half an hour longer than the original cinema release. This 4K version certainly looks and sounds good – the best I’ve experienced since I saw it in the cinema all those years ago – but the actual re-editing will suit some fans of the film more than others. One of cinema’s most powerful experiences this is a must-see film that probably won’t be tinkered with again for at least another ten years. If you already have a 4K UHD TV system then buy this version – if you only have a standard Blu-ray player at the moment then still buy this version and watch the Blu-ray disc and save the 4K one to watch when you upgrade; if you are a real collector, and a big fan of this film, then maybe go for the six disc package that includes everything you could ever want!

The Vietnam war has brought many a major film to our screens such as ‘Platoon’ Hamburger Hill’ and ‘Full Metal Jacket’ as well as many a song such as Kenny Rogers – ‘Ruby’ – Paul Hardcastle’s ’19’ and Buffy Saint Marie’s ‘Moratorium’
This a film I myself haven’t watched for many a year, last time would probably have been when first released on DVD.
Must admit my memory of the film has always been it was over-long.
The story, in fact, tells of the futility and horror of the conflict and its ultimate effect on those that took part.
In this we see Captain Benjamin Willard (Martin Sheen) who was in truth already damaged by what he’d done and seen during the conflict summoned to take on a mission to find and indeed terminate Colonel Walter E. Kurtz (Marlon Brando) a heavily decorated officer who had turned rogue having waged his own war against north Vietnam forces without authorisation.
The Captain accepts the mission and will have a small team assigned to him to navigate the Nung river in a River Patrol Boat.
They will be helped to avoid the heavily Viet-Cong occupied end of the river with a helicopter lift organised by Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore (Robert Duvall) a very gun-ho squad commander.
Along the way the team which includes Chief Petty Officer “Chief” Phillips (Albert Hall) ‘Chef’ (Frederic Forrest) Lance (Sam Bottoms) and the young ‘Mr Clean’ (Laurence Fishburne)
Along the way and including their time with Lt Col Kilgore they will encounter many dangers and witness much in the way of horrific consequences of the war, so much so that in continually reading the file on Col Kurtz he begins to understand the target and question what he’ll do when they do encounter him
When they finally get to Kurtz’s lair in Cambodia they find he has a large following of both American and Montagnard troop who treat him as a demi-god, among his followers an American freelance photographer played by Dennis Hopper.
Though the Captain is initially taken as a captive, Kurtz despite realising that Benjamen is there to kill him he lets the Captain live.
What the Captain finds is a troubled man who has simply seen too much horror, though a little unhinged Kurtz is no fool.
Still, in my view overlong, it is an intense insight into the realities of the ‘unwinnable’ conflict.
Though the package does come with 3-Discs including a Blu-ray copy of ‘The Final Cut’ and a disc of extra’s, I have only seen (other than the original DVD) the 4k version.
The picture is quite ‘grainy’ at times, especially the day-time distance sequences, however, closer quality is somewhat impressive.

Yes, this Final Cut is the definitive version of Apocalypse Now, coming in at just over three hours it is an epic that really does take you on this journey up river to confront Kurtz. Historically, at the time of its release it needed to be of a suitable length for theatrical showing, but now there is no limit to its length with the DVD markets and appreciative audiences.
If you’re never seen it before, go for The Final Cut, or if you want to re-experience it in all its glory. It is shorter than the Redux version, with the bunny-girls in the chopper cut, but it does retain the French plantation sequence which does lead onto the greatest scene in the history of cinema, the opium smoking scene.
Most viewers may know the history of the film. With five Oscars and two Godfather films under his belt, Francis Coppola was unable to get funding for a Vietnam war film. I guess the money people were expecting another Green Berets with John Wayne. So he had to fund the film himself with his own cash and pledges from distributors, Coppola saw the project as an opportunity to make a film that would do more than stand the test of time, he set out to make a great piece of film-art, whatever the cost. He risked is life and his sanity with
238 days of filming in the Philippines creating 1.5 million feel of film (which I guess comes out at about 55 hours) and ending up spending $31.5 million, and he succeeded beautifully, with a film that maybe in a generation will become acknowledged as the greatest piece of film-art ever. So Coppola owns Apocalypse Now rather than some faceless corporation, and good luck to him.
He followed Apocalypse Now, with the great One from the Heart, and even more financial problems ensued.
