Apocalypse Now

THIS IS THE END...

At the height of the Vietnam war, Captain Benjamin Willard is sent on a dangerous mission that, officially, "does not exist, nor will it ever exist." His goal is to locate - and eliminate - a mysterious Green Beret Colonel named Walter Kurtz, who has been leading his personal army on illegal guerrilla missions into enemy territory.

    A gripping story with strong performances. The ending was a bit predictable, but overall a great watch.
    Rating: 4

  • Frances Nash
    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.
    Rating: 1.5

  • Adele Wang
    A decent watch, though the pacing felt a bit slow in the middle. The cinematography was great, though.
    Rating: 3.5

  • Finley Frazier
    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.

    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.
