Review of Particle Fever (2013) by Brian V — 02 Oct 2014

This is a well made documentary. The visuals are particularly impressive. The development and initial launching of the collider is a good story. The human side is told largely thru the point-of-view of 3 scientists.

The significance of their experiments is presented understandably. The popular press adoption of the search for the "God particle" is exposed for the hype that it was. The group of international researchers, all working toward a common goal for the good of mankind, was eye-opening.

The two young male researchers have the slightly disheveled look of brainy nerds. And, we are not surprised.

I enjoyed this movie. It was a good trip to the flics.
