Eight Below (2006)

Cast: Paul Walker (Jerry Shepherd), Bruce Greenwood (Doctor Davis McClaren), Moon Bloodgood (Katie), Jason Biggs (Charlie Cooper)
For complete info, see IMDb's Eight Below page.

I rented this only because I didn't think I could convince my husband to see it in a theatre with me. With no kids to take, it would have looked a bit odd for us to see it in a theatre anyway, but it's a shame we missed it on the big screen. The scenery is amazing!

I've always been more likely to cry over an animal suffering or dying in a movie than a human. I think it's because they're so innocent and have no way to protect themselves. Eight Below made me tear up, but I managed to keep from crying. This wonderful story about an Antarctic tour guide who is forced to leave his sled team behind is heartwarming and great! The guilt Jerry goes through is clear because of Paul Walker's excellent portrayal. The cast is great! The scenery is breathtaking! The dogs are adorable! What more could you ask for?

Don't allow the name Disney and it's horrible reputation for recent live-action movies keep you away from seeing this great film. Since Eight Below is based on a true story, it's an even more powerful tale of friendship and survival than it would have been if it had been written by the best author. See this movie now if you missed in theatres!

Grade: A-
