This original version of Apocalypse Now is rougher viewing than the Apocalypse Now Redux version, at least as an instant video on Amazon. This version is visually dark and murky and both the original and Redux have some instances where the movie stops briefly, but these pauses occur more often with the original. A couple of scenes have been added to Redux and their value can be debated, but either way this is surely one of the two or three classic Viet Nam films.
