The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
... View MoreThe movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

... View MoreDogs 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.
... View MoreI love this movie but I cry so much every time I see it. Because it's about huskies, and some of two of them die, and I have huskies, so it makes me very emotional. This movie is about having to leave huskies behind. Paul Walker's character, Jerry Shepard must leave his eight huskies in the Arctic, on their own. And they're chained up, and have to escape, and sadly, one of them, the oldest, Old Jack, didn't make it off the chain. *Insert tears here*, wait you don't have to, I'm already crying. Seriously. Just talking about it makes me want to cry so bad. Then we see the puppies go through many things, like other animals attacking them, them watching the Northern Lights, one of them falling down a big hill, him breaking his legs, and the other having to leave him there. And they didn't want to. They wanted to stay with him. *Insert next set of tears here*, once again, don't have to. When Jerry comes back with his crew to save the dogs, he finds Old Jack buried under the snow, and says "They didn't even make it off the leash", then he lifts the other chain links up, and realizes that the others did. Then he sees all of the dogs run over the hill, towards him, and says "five out of eight, not bad", but with sadness and tears, obviously. But then, one of the dogs won't get on the helicopter. Instead, the dog takes Jerry over the hill, to one of the dogs that had hurt, and couldn't move. He then took all of the dogs away on the helicopter, and the rest survived.I mainly got so upset about this movie, because I found out that it was based on a real story, which means, in some way, this really happened, and that is so depressing. All in all, six out of eight dogs surviving being alone and having to get food and shelter for themselves, when they've always gotten it from humans, is pretty good.Overall, I give this movie a 10 out of 10. But I do cry every time.
... View MoreI kept wondering why are they don't fly in when the weather is so good - sky is clear, there was no storms or anything and they just don't want to go there. The dogs starve but engage in confusing ensemble for sharing food - polite ballet doesn't fit into sled dogs life style, does it? The physical and emotional stress that follows expeditions in tough weather are missing altogether (remember The Edge?)Leading lady shifts between caring and flinty attitudes unable to decide what to do. Protagonist despite all this love for the dogs let months pass by before deciding to go to Antarctica. It is a pale movie with weak story.
