Cold Fusion (2001) User Reviews

Nostalgic and Intense

[ZenScope · 9/10 · 26 November 2001]

As his 52nd annual release, Warren Miller once again brings out the hard-core rider in each of us. His films throw us into an infinite journey of intense snowbound aerobatics, goofy lift moments, and historic segments all through acres of snow, and gliding to a sweet musical score like no other. Cold Fusion offers the best of all worlds. One of Miller's best films, Cold Fusion will spoil even the most extreme rider. Capturing some of his most profound moments from earlier movies, Cold Fusion is as awe-inspiring as his two-year-old classic, Fifty, which also documented some of ski history's most impressive, and most hilarious moments.

If Cold Fusion does not entice that yearly craving for snow, the classic sound of Warren's old, yet soothing voice surely will.

Ride on, and wear a helmet.

The best ski and snowboard documentary ever!!!!!

when you watch this kind of work all you want to do is stay in front of the television and enjoy every moment of it. I've seen many documentaries, but this one is the best ever. Not because it contains good takes, but also because you can see that snowboarding and skiing are not only practiced in Canada, U.S and Europe, but it is even practiced in the heart of Africa or as far as the middle East. This shows that we are not the only ones doing it. It is practiced all around the globe too. What else can I say????? Great takes from riders, great landscape takes, good sequence, great commentaries, good music. Overall it deserves a NINE!!!!!!. The best and most complete documentary ever made till now!!!!.

Truly amazing film

I scarcely know where to begin with this movie. The various skiing and other athletics shown are top-notch. The composition, cinematography, and editing make you feel like you were there. Everything about this film displays a love of what they do, whether it be the athletes or the production crew, and shows a great deal of humanity and humor in places. Finally, the soundtrack meshes perfectly with the action on the screen. In one scene, the music was so ethereal that I was almost driven to tears, while in others, the driving guitars enhanced the adrenaline rush from the action on the screen. In short, if you're familiar with Warren Miller's body of work, you won't be disappointed, and if you're not, you're in for a real treat. If I had to make one suggestion, it would be that this film be viewed on IMAX, but since I don't even know if it was filmed in that format, the DVD is more than good enough.
