Is it possible to make a great movie better? More often than not, no. All the CG-tweaking techniques at ILM's disposal couldn't make the Star Wars movies more impressive than their original incarnations, while James Cameron's T2, Aliens and Abyss "Special Editions" merely substitute tightness and muscular pacing for extra running time. As most DVD-heads know, deleted scenes are usually deleted for a good reason... But Apocalypse Now Redux is a reassuring rarity. It's an extended, re-edited version of Francis Ford Coppola's 'Nam masterpiece, with 49-minutes' worth of extra material spliced in, and the result is a genuinely stronger film. That's right - one of the best movies ever made just got better.
