Apocalypse Now Redux

I believe it is OOP. The Complete Dossier comes out in 2 weeks for what its worth.

It's a decent disc. I'm currently borrowing it from a friend, as I hadn't seen the movie. I just recently watched it, and I loved it. The transfer is good, and the movie is only on one disc (unlike the new Dossier version.) I've actually been considering buying this instead of the Dossier.

Do you think it would be better to get the original over the new Dossier one coming out in a couple of weeks as well? This is a title i've been waiting for, but if the census thinks the original is better then Redux, as well as the new Dossier, then i'll just pick up the original one.

The Dossier set contains both the original cut and Redux, but both have the movie split to 2 discs for no apparent reason other than to piss off viewers.

The Dossier will include both cuts. Some are unhappy that each is split over two discs, but that's not a big deal to me (tho' a peculiar decision). I think - not sure - that the "deleted scene" (or just extra footage) showing the destruction of the Kurtz compound may not be included in "the complete dossier". If this is so, it's likely the only reason why you'd want to hunt down the original cut DVD.
I'd recommend you wait for the new release, and maybe a few reviews to ensure the transfer hasn't been screwed up.
