I'm in the minority that the <i>Redux</i> version is a better film.<br /><br />I'm just glad someone post a comment whether they agree with me or not.

I would never show the Redux first to someone who had never seen APOCALYPSE NOW. I whole-heartedly suggest people begin with the 1979 cut, and then move to the Redux if they're hungry for more.<br /><br />Speaking of that viewing, on that day I got a rare opportunity to speak with one of the film's creators.
