Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The experience of watching the film can be vertiginous: You toggle between the tiny and the infinite, between eternity and the real time of the recent past.
Fresh: Watching a film won't make you smarter, but if there ever was one that could, it would be "Particle Fever," a movie so mind-bending you can almost feel your brain cells growing as you're watching it.
Fresh: The bracing scientific rigor and intellectual derring-do presented in "Particle Fever" are most welcome.
Fresh: A dazzling, dizzying documentary about nothing less than whether we exist in a coherent universe of ordered, even beautiful laws ...

Particle Fever
I was fortunate enough to catch this doc on its last screening in the Los Angeles area.
I had been anticipating seeing it for months and it did not disappoint. The concepts are extremely well explained and illustrated so I think I understood most of them. I was surprised by the amount of humor in the film and shed a tear along with Peter Higgs when the discovery was announced. The film also made me extremely jealous of the fact the the LHC is not here in the U.S.
I have pre-ordered it and cannot wait to watch it again!
Particle Fever
“Particle Fever” is the most spectacular film experience. You feel like you are part of the largest global experiment in history with a team of brilliant and hilarious scientists. Highly recommend.
A True Glimpse Into the World of Geniuses
As an experimental engineer, I can tell you that this movie was extremely accurate, except that it was on a scale roughly 1e6 times my typical work. It is full of concepts, images, and emotions that defy the imagination, but are the true foundations for our modern society. Well worth the time and $$$!
