Cheers for that.
Along with FMJ and Platton, its my all time fave war/antiwar film.
Re: Apocalypse Now - At Last
Lowe and I were discussing this recently...
I think it's set to become a top tier visual and audio benchmark BluRay
Re: Apocalypse Now - At Last
I've had it for a while (US import). Cost a fortune, but I was doing a university project on it. It's frankly stunning and other than the special effects giving away its age, you'd never guess it's 30 years old. The transfer has been carried out with nothing other than the finest attention to detail, it really is reference material, and frankly the benchmark against which audio production especially has been based upon ever since really.
/edit - the extras are amazing as well, showing you lots about the making of the film. :)
Re: Apocalypse Now - At Last
i'll definitely be picking this up along with platoon which is also just out on Blu-ray

Re: Apocalypse Now - At Last
thought they released it last year, at least
has always been one of my favourites. Like the original better than Redux, except for final bit with Kurtz. Often thought about re-editing it to include what I like. Redux definitely has less tension in trip up river - too much tangential stuff, eg the French plantation. The tiger encounter also is made useless in Redux by showing it before the tension has built, whereas the original is lean and focused, and tiger bit hits one for six.
Not my 2c - I'm just right.
:D
