Apocalypse Now Reviews

Apr 24, 2025

The first 80% of the movie was probably the best film I have ever seen and I'm 67 years old. The final 20% made little sense and wasn't particularly interesting. There you go.

The battles are well shot, but the journey in the human soul is a philosophical failure.

Terrific film up until the last 30-40 minutes when they get to their destination. Its at that point that I found myself wondering if I was watching the same film. Incoherent speaking. Dull. Brando ruined it.

Um fantástico filme de guerra! É mais um grande trabalho do Coppola que explora de forma muito interessante a guerra no Vietname. (avaliação: 9/10)

This will always remain very close to the top of my list. Closest thing to real Vietnam you are likely to ever witness. Casting is spot on, could not have been better. Absurd enough and harsh enough as well. True classic in every sense of the word. Textbook film making indeed

I saw this when it came out in 1979 while I was still in high school. Fell asleep the first 2 times I saw it. Revisited this film about 25 years ago and thought it was outstanding. Watched it again last night with my high-school aged daughter who loves theater arts, She looked at me at the end and said, "Dad, that is one of the best movies you have ever showed me. However, I never want to watch it again". That sums up the power of Apocalypse Now. Gritty, brutal and beautifully filmed. Excellent character development that contributes to genuinely caring about what happens to everyone on this journey to insanity. My take is that this film holds up better today (46 years later) than when it was originally released.

A gripping and intense film about the horrors of war.

It’s way too long. If you can find a fifth of the day to dedicate you time to watch this, then you’ll probably be fine. There’s better war films.

An absolute masterpiece of a film. 🎥

This film remains quite a mystery to me, as the 155 minute cut feels too short, but the 3 hour cut feels too long also. The action and effects are something of a true marvel, but it eventually just devolves into a hence and repeat of the same formula over and over again: squad advances to reach Cambodja and Kurtz's Cult HQ (patent pending), they get into a very bad pickle, someone dies or gets injured but they manage to ultimately solve things, repeat. The last 45 minutes are true perfection though, and i dont feel like a need to, nor dont want to spoil, and that's why i recommend this movie. You will never expect and NEED whats in store for the last 45 minutes (Referring to the 155 minute cut, that is).

Masterpiece. One of the best Vietnam war's films.

Apocalypse Now is a movie that does a great job showing what a terrible conflict the Vietnam war was. The dialogue can be pretty bad at times however.

This is a movie that grows with you. Having watched this when I was young and again throughout the years I feel as though I am seeing a new movie every time I see it. Your life experiences allows you to see the movie under a different lense each time you watch. You pick up on things that catch your attention that you have overlooked previously. You learn from it. “ NEVER GET OUT OF THE THE BOAT, ABSOLUTELY G*D-D** N RIGHT - UNLESS YOU ARE GOING ALL THE WAY”

« Apocalypse Now » nous plonge dans la guerre du Vietnam comme si c’était un documentaire, rendant chaque scène poignante et réaliste. La photographie est magistrale, jouant avec les contrastes et les couleurs pour immerger le spectateur dans un clair-obscur envoûtant. La lumière façonne chaque plan avec une précision qui amplifie la tension.
