One person on Rotten Tomatoes said: "The absurdity and hypocrisy of war captured perfectly.

"Like many soldiers, Kurtz probably wanted something more profound, but what he encountered was the aggressive emptiness of a war with no meaning, in a place he didn't belong, against a people that had a purpose. A masterpiece."

Another wrote: "Visually stunning. Excellent performances from Martin Sheen, Robert Duvall and Marlon Brando and an atmosphere of dread, confusion and insanity so thick you can feel it. Apocalypse Now is undoubtedly one of the greatest films of all time and a powerful look at what happens when we are stripped of our humanity."

Apocalypse Now, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, is based on Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness.

The film is set during the Vietnam War and explores themes of madness, the darkness of human nature, and the chaos of war.

The production was forced to delay several times for a wide variety of reasons, including a typhoon, illness and injury, and logistical issues.
