San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle
Part of the appeal is that it's so bad it's good: The story is ridiculous. At other times, it's just plain good: There are ski and snowboarding scenes, plenty of them, that are beautifully filmed and exhilarating to behold.
Read Full Review >The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Liam Lacey
The stunt work is top-notch; the dialogue and drama often food-spittingly funny. I can hardly wait for Extreme Ops II, perhaps set atop a South Sea island volcano, with North Korean agents and parasailing.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea
A tad more character development would have been nice.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
There is a fair share of turkeys at the multiplex this week, but none are quite as overcooked as Extreme Ops.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
The dramatic scenes are frequently unintentionally funny, and the action sequences -- clearly the main event -- are surprisingly uninvolving, especially given that director Christian Duguay is an extreme skiing buff who habitually shoots dangerous stunts himself.
Read Full Review >New York Post Jonathan Foreman
A pathetically inane and unimaginative cross between "XXX" and "Vertical Limit," it could only harm the careers of everyone involved in its making - including top British stage actors Rufus Sewell and Rupert Graves.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Steve Davis
It's like "Jackass," but with a budget and no midgets.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Keith Phipps
Extreme Ops seems to have only the slightest grasp of its own absurdity (or its own horribleness), which makes it almost charming.
Read Full Review >Variety Joe Leydon
Action pics rarely come much more blandly generic than Extreme Ops, an instantly forgettable snow-and-stuntwork extravaganza.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Bruce Fretts
Less a movie than a 93-minute Mountain Dew commercial.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Manohla Dargis
Dude, one last thing: If you see my moms and pops, definitely don't tell them about this.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Justine Elias
The mountain would probably recommend that you save your money.
Read Full Review >The New York Times A.O. Scott
Ops is too brain-dead to play the incognito war criminal segment for comedy, although when Will is seen thumbing through the pages of a newspaper called USA Daily, the picture has inadvertently tumbled down a Mad magazine wormhole.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Hank Sartin
Even the action sequences are poorly executed, with lots of choppy editing meant to conceal the fakery.

S D gave it a10:
It was kool good extreme sports were included that wat made it good.
People call me BULA gave it a 10:
This movie gets 2 thumbs up from bula.
Heatcliff gave it a 9:
This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Everybody who've seen it with me agreed. So therefore Extreme Ops will go down as one of my favorites for life. Besides, it's snowboarding dudes... Nothing beats that.
Morbious gave it a 3:
Idea was original plot fell apart stunts mostly too outragious but ill give it sum point for originality humor and a very fine jana pallaski.
Josh V. gave it an 8:
The plot wasn't very good but all the extreme boarding and stuff made up for it.
Chris gave it a 10:
The movie was way better then some of the movies ive seen! i broke my wrist snowboarding and the only thing i can do is film.so just gives me an idea and now i wont be bored! peace! well i always have my gf!
Niko gave it a 1:
5 bucks down the drain. The story is absolutely ridiculous and the skiing scenes are incoherent and have nothing to do with real extreme ski or snowboard. Just a 1 for the nice Kitti.
