Despite a likable cast of humans, it's the canine stars who steal the show in Eight Below, a terrific live-action adventure in the time-honored Disney tradition. Based on a true story that was previously filmed (much differently) as the 1983 Japanese hit Antarctica, this above-average family film takes place in 1993 and focuses on a dog-sled guide at an Antarctic research station (Paul Walker) who is forced by a severe storm to abandon eight beloved sled dogs for the duration of a harsh Antarctic winter. Left to fend for themselves, the rugged and resourceful dogs encounter danger at every turn, surviving for nearly six months while Walker and his closest colleagues (engagingly played by Bruce Greenwood, Moon Bloodgood, and American Pie's Jason Biggs) join forces to mount a daring rescue mission. Having endured similarly extreme conditions on his 1993 film Alive, director Frank Marshall brings an abundance of natural splendor (and minimum use of digital wizardry) to spectacularly arctic locations in Norway, Greenland and Canada, and Walker (star of The Fast and the Furious) lends an amiable sincerity to his compassionate role. For most viewers, however, it's the remarkable dogs (six Siberian huskies and two malamutes) who make Eight Below so thoroughly entertaining. It's not quite an instant family classic, but it comes pretty doggone close. --Jeff Shannon

I received my DVD so quickly from this seller! I think I ordered it on a Monday or Tuesday. I was able to watch it the following Saturday. Totally awesome!
8 Below is the best January 30, 2010

I adopted a Husky puppy last year (he is 10 months old now), and I cried throughout this movie! It was masterfully suspenseful, and the dogs are so incredibly trained! My husky is currently going to school, and we won't stop until he is of comperable bahavior - those dogs are SO smart! This movie is a must see for anyone who has ever been devoted to an animal (and even if they haven't, they will after seeing it).

Eight Below is the most wonderful animal movie that captures the unconditional love between the owner and the dogs and the unbreakable loyal bond between the pack. During the dogs' survival journey, the audiences are able to see the unique characterisitcs of siberian huskies and Malmuate that they are high intelligent and sentimental. They are very much like human. They are bounded by emotions. They experience the joy of exploring, the pain of loss and the hardship of suvival. Just like people in a society, there are leader and follower in their pack. Each dogs has their role in the pack. Yes there are some sad moments in this movie, that will bring tears, there is a happy ending. I highly recommend this movie to anyone.

The DVD stopped at the half way point in the movie and when we managed to get it working again, it skipped ahead about 40 minutes. We missed the middle part of the movie.
