2.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie, Poor transfer Sep 8 2002
Format:DVD
First off, I love this movie. Sure, it's a bit ridiculous, but I like the characters, and the skiing footage is great. I'd probably give the movie itself 4 stars, but the DVD production deserves 2 stars, at best.

Issue 1: The video transfer is not very good. I did a side-by-side comparison with my VHS version, and the DVD image isn't much of an improvement. The colors are a little brighter, but the image isn't any sharper, and there is even dust evident on the DVD transfer. But what's worse is the letterboxing. I prefer to see all my movies in the original aspect ratio, so I was excited to finally see a widescreen version of Aspen Extreme. However, I was incredibly disappointed to discover that the 1.85-to-1 aspect ratio was achieved by cropping the top and bottom of the VHS image, rather than restoring the sides of the frame.

Issue 2: There is no Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. As you would expect from a not-so-popular catalog title, it didn't receive any special sound treatment. All you get is the Dolby 2.0 surround.

Issue 3: And finally, as you would expect, this title received no extra treatment in the special features department. Granted, with the ...price tag, you probably weren't expecting much, but if you didn't already know, this is the movie only. There's not even a theatrical trailer.

In short, if you already have the VHS version of this movie, don't bother to buy the DVD version. It's not offering you anything you don't already have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun ski movie Sep 4 2010
Format:DVD
This is a fun ski movie. It is as much about the spectacular skiing-footage (which, by the way, was filmed in the Monashees in Canada - obviously Aspen skiing wasn't extreme enough!), as it is about the story of two friends trying to change their lives by moving to Aspen. Few ski movies have good stories; mostly they're just about the skiing. Aspen Extreme is a kind of modern fairy tale in the snow, and as such it works well. It's an overall optimistic story, despite some heartbreak and disillusionment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good movie, not great but give it a break Dec 20 2009
Format:DVD
good movie. What makes this movie interesting is that it is based on a real guy named TJ Burke. Google him.
