Summary: Nothing more than a travel video.
Review: "Aspen Extreme" tries to make the viewer care about its characters. Not surprisingly, the two main guys in the movie are too egocentric to make you feel anything about them.T.J. (Paul Gross) and Dexter (Peter Berg) are a couple of young men who move from Detroit to Aspen to become ski instructors. Dexter is a really great guy who makes obnoxious comments to people and even becomes a coke runner at one point. T.J. tries to come off as the "nice guy" but is playing two women at the same time. Anyway, the two of them ski down a part of the mountain that is restricted. Why? Because it is dangerous of course. While skiing in this area, T.J. falls down a huge, rocky chasm into some ice cold water. Luckily, Dexter uses a rope to get down to him and evidently the only injury T.J. sustains is a gash on his head. How they actually got out of the chasm is anybody's guess because it is never shown. Movie magic I suppose. Now the really smart thing to do after this life-threatening experience would be to try again, right? I guess. They do some more skiing and this time Dexter is killed by an avalanche. Maybe they should've been a bit more careful. Finola Hughes also stars in this film as a rich local who likes to sleep around. The only positive thing I can say about "Aspen Extreme" is that it does show some decent skiing. In fact, it falls back on the skiing shots a bit too much because of the shortfalls on the storytelling side of things. Only recommended for diehard skiing buffs.

Summary: A guy's dream and a skier's wonderland......
Review: Aspen Extreme is a movie about dreams and skiing. It is what every skier dreams of but is highly unlikely of ever becoming but is still fun to dream about. The setting and theme are superb and the plot is what I dream everyday. Definitely a movie to watch on a snowy Saturday night!

Summary: Many of Life's problems dealt with by skiing
Review: Aspen Extreme is one of the greatest movies of the 90's. It began with two ordinary guys living ordinary lives. Finally tired of the daily grind of thier lives, T.J. Burke (Paul Gross) and longtime friend Dexter Rutecki (Peter Berg) pick up and head for Aspen. They dabble in society, but ultimately realize that some aren't born to live they way the upper class does. This story can relate to almost any problem we may have; with work, dreams, and relationships. You don't have to like skiing or even like snow to see why this film deserves five stars.

Summary: Sweet
Review: Awsome movie with a great storyline. It gives a good insight of a persons passion for something they love but how that passion can be lost when there is the corruption of money and drugs.

Summary: I am in love with Teri Polo
Review: First of all, I bought this DVD at Best Buy for $5.99 so that shows right there that it was not a huge hit with audiences. I thought that price was a steal. Yeah maybe there is nothing special about this DVD and it is just basic and the quality is not that great, but just having the ability to watch it in my DVD player is a much better alternative than VHS. I love the characters and how the develop them. Teri Polo has been one of my favorites in Hollywood since I saw her in this movie back when it came out back in 1993. Peter Berg is great as Dexter Rutecki and I like Paul Gross as T.J. Burke. How hot is Finola Hughes as Bryce Kellogg the rich and snobbish ski bunny. The skiing footage is great and breathtaking scenic views are plentiful. I realy enjoy watching this movie and it brings tears to your eye because these 2 best friends mean so much to each other and it hits you hard when tragedy strikes. I recommend this DVD and see if you can find it for a steal!

Summary: Great Movie, Poor transfer
Review: 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.
