Apocalypse Now: Final Cut (IMAX)

The 30th anniversary release of one of the most powerful war movies ever made. Set during the American invasion of Vietnam, the story follows a young army officer sent to ‘terminate with extreme prejudice’ an older colonel who has gone out of control, and is running his own little empire up the river. We follow him through various incidents until he reaches the colonel, who is not quite what he had expected. The film is currently at number 54 on the IMDB Top 250 Chart. Note the long running time.

183 minutes.
