This is, I think, the definitive Vietnam war movie. Martin Sheen is "Capt. Willard", a war weary veteran who is sent on a top secret mission to track down and stop the rogue Colonel 'Kurtz" (Marlon Brando) who is operating independently from Cambodia. With only a small crew of rookie squaddies, he sets off along the treacherous Nung River where, along the way, they alight on "Kilgore" (Robert Duvall) and face all sorts of dangers against both man and nature as they seek their quarry. The sheer intensity of the journey, and of the challenges it throws…

Did I miss something!? This was rated one of the best sci-fi movies of all time. I'm a sci-fi fantasy guy but this movie was boring, sorry. I can watch a movie with low budget effects, I even prefer the original "Alien" movie to the latest CGI ones now because they rely more on the story rather than the special effects. But this movie, maybe they just relied too much on the actors.
