Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
cammietime This movie is very frustrating. It teases you about all kinds of plot points, but never really sees them to fruition or explains them. The ending is dramatically insufficient for the amount of time dedicated to the subject matter. This movie is a always looking for a plot and refuses to engage the most interesting thing about the town where everything happens. When the ending finally does come, it leaves you with many more questions than answers. Garland, the main town, is supposed to be 300 miles north of Anchorage Alaska, and only reachable by bush plane. Yet the town is quite diverse and large, with a coffee shop, general store, fancy cabins for people to live in and a major shipping company based there, anything but what would be found in a small town in central Alaska. They also complain about the cold, yet spend most of the movie walking around without hats or mittens, implying it is not as cold as they said it is. The random extras walking around downtown Garland would look right at home in a British Columbia tourist ski resort town and completely out of their element in a real Alaskan bush town. This movie promised so much frustrating doesn't deliver.
Deathracer My god I have no idea how people rated this as an average 7!..It was so painful to watch as the acting was very very bad. From the start all the actors were like reading sentences from the script!!so unnatural and annoying..Trust me, I'm not writing this review by comparing to award wining movies out there. Just that they lacked the basics of acting directing and pretty much everything else!! Disney movies are sooo good compared to this movie.The story was sooo boring and badly written. The reason I watched it because of the "hope" in this Christmas season hoping it would get better!!..but it never did!!.. I'm sure we all watch remakes, cheesy love stories and Christmas stories which has very familiar endings.In those we know whats coming but we don't expect much, although we still enjoys a lot. This movie is NOT one of them! and it just happen to destroy my Christmas spirit.
chodorov Well, it is harmless, sort of. I haven't even watched it to the end yet, but can't seem to get interested. First of all, the mistakes are so glaring that it hurts. There's snow everywhere, and people talk about it being cold - it is Alaska after all, and December. But it is always sunny, even at 6:30 in the morning, when the rest of the northern hemisphere is still dark, and they talk a lot about the need for warm clothes, but people walk around with their jackets open and no hats on their heads. There is nothing realistic here. Even the daddy doctor trying to arrange for his daughter's fellowship. There are so many good applicants for those things, daddy pulling strings just doesn't do it these days. And let's not forget the "hospital fellowship" that she thinks she's getting. in order for a fantasy to seem possible, the basics need to be believable in order for the rest to seem fantastic. Here, the lack of realism in the daily details is just so blatant, that it takes the fun out if it.
adoptshelterpetstoday And yet another great quality movie starring the very talented, very enjoyable Candace Cameron-Bure!........The location was very unique and outstanding: a Hallmark Christmas movie filmed in Alaska! And those Northern Lights were spectacular! (it must be awesome to see them in person.)...Although the plot was basic, it was a uniquely presented situation......Also: well-written, well-directed, all good supporting cast...no one was annoying to detract from any of it...............The only thing that did not seem right was Candace's red hair. Red hair is beautiful and the intention was probably to make her appear a little differently for effect...what ever that was supposed to be(?)... but it was not her and really not necessary. Then towards the end, it looked like the red was re-done to be deepened. It just looked kind of sleazy, especially with the over-done make-up, which was not in sync with that quiet, little town.......Anyway, as always with all of her movies, it is very respectable, safe...and TOTALLY enjoyable!
