Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

Manthast Absolutely amazing

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

o-31546 Dogs have been loyal to us. It's time we return the favor. "Eight Below" tells a harrowing story of a eight-dogsled team left chained outside a research station when the humans pull out in a hurry. The guide who used and Who will to return to rescue them but are voted down: Winter has set in and all flights are kept until spring. Will the dogs survive? I think "Eight" no only means the cold weather but also the eight loyal dogs. They care about their host and help them get rid of the danger. They never give up, always waiting for the return of their host, no matter how bad the weather is. The subtitles keep count of how long the dogs have been on their own: 50 days ... 133 days ... 155 days ... It breaks the audience's heart.Also, there is a Paul's film, I miss him so much.You can see it on Yidioo.

sonjatatjana Good story. My daughter liked.But the dogs are not like they normally are. Dogs were too much like people... This happens too often.I love stories with animals but why they have to be human like creatures. These human dogs spoiled the whole movie. Why animals don't are good enough the way they are. So sad.Beautiful landscapes and touching story. I hoped more reality. More realistic animals please. And movie was bit too syrup.But it was OK to watch with kid. Seal was little bit odd. I enjoyed the goofy guy.

Roedy Green This purports to be a true story. It is thoroughly Disneyfied, though not quite as anthropomorphic as Homeward Bound.Much of the story shows sled dogs barking and barking and barking. We are supposed to take this as meaningful communication and careful planning of the stunts we see next. The dogs are well trained to make it look as if they are much cleverer than they really are.Did I mention the barking? It really gets on your nerves after a while.There is lots of swelling music to tell you when to feel elation.The humans are quite one dimensional. One has a monomania about rescuing the dogs that seems a bit kinky for a Disney movie.The movie takes place in the worst (sunless) winter in Antarctic history. Yet, of course, for filming, you need clear skies and bright sunshine so this supposed danger does not seem too threatening. The dogs even after six months without being fed in the cold of an Antarctic winter are as fat and frisky as ever. "8 Below" is not that cold, even for Canada. I wondered if somebody made a mistake coming up with the title.There is one scene when something leaps out at you. Elderly viewers could have a heart attack. It is completely unexpected. My adrenalin was racing for minutes afterwards. You only expect that kind of a jolt in a movie like Alien.In summary, a little too corny. Perhaps it would work for younger viewers.

rachelandfilms You might have a few preconceived notions about this film, which I feel the need to clear up before I can begin with the actual review/opinion portion of this post. Don't worry, I'm not going to spend too long on this, but it is necessary, so bear with me.First of all, this is a family drama by Disney so right now anyone over the age of 15 is probably thinking 'this isn't a film for me'. You are wrong. This film may be by Disney but that doesn't mean it's just for kids, this packs a punch and a half and I defy any adult not to shed a tear or two over this one. It's reminiscent of Marley & Me in that respect. Not only will it tug at any person who has a heart, but it also raises some interesting ideas about how far a person would go to rescue the ones they love, whether that person is human or canine. Don't dismiss yourself because you don't think this film is for your demographic; personally I'm not sure this film has an age demographic. If you like a good film then here's your ticket.Second of all, the cast. If, like me, you're not a fan of Paul Walker because he seems like a one-trick-pony who can only do action-hero/bad- guy/heart-throb then please just leave those thoughts at the doorstep for a moment. Walker shines in this production, because for once he's playing a character whose sole purpose isn't to get the girl (though he does) or catch the bad guy and look cool doing it – this character has an emotional connection to the canines he is trying to save and that emotion is etched into every action he takes and every plea he makes. Paul Walker isn't the only casting choice I would like to address however, because while he does make up much of the film, it is also the canine cast whose journey we explore. These guys aren't just there to coo over either, these guys are characters. They have their own characteristics and story lines and they are just as heart-breaking and believable as the human cast. I was genuinely flabbergasted by the talent these beautiful canines display – and flabbergasted isn't a word I use lightly.If you would like to read the rest of my thoughts concerning this film then you can visit this site (filmrambler.blogspot.co.uk)
