I've never seen Apocalypse Now, but i've heard it's good and I noticed today that Netflix Instant Watch has both versions. Soo, I need some serious advice on which version I should watch.

Watch the original. The Redux is just unnecessarily long.

I only saw Redux. Apparently you should see the original cut first.

The original. The redux's pacing is so uneven.

Wow I'm surprised by the responses in this thread. In my opinion the Redux is the way to go; yeah it's a bit longer but I like the pacing a lot more. If and when you have the time you should definitely get around to watching both.

Just giving my opinion since I don't care for Apocalypse Now. I didn't want to say I hate it and get a bunch of people raging against me, but I think it's going to happen anyways.

The original. One instance where extended edition was completely unnecessary.

I watched all three, and while all three are very good movie, I personally think Apocalypse Now is best out of the three. FMJ is amazing too though. And technically, it's unfair to compare the three since all three movies are very, very different.

The original, those extra scenes in Redux aren't worth watching.
