I purposely did not see this movie in theaters because I knew some of the animals died. My family rented it and I could only watch about thirty minutes of it before I almost cried! I have a very soft spot for animals, so if you can handle seeing mans' best friend left behind to freeze, go right ahead. The story is about a group of people who are scientists studying the weather and climate of Alaska (I think). When a business/scientist comes to the base in search of a guide, the main character sets of with his dogs and the visitor to go and study the land. A horrible accident occures, the man is injured and the main character heads back to base with him and the dogs. Bottom line: all of the people get into a helicopter (to get the injured man to a hospitail) and leaves the dogs during an ice storm. This is where I stopped, so I do not know what happens after this. I personally would NOT recommend this movie to anyone who cares about animals or who cries easily.

there is violence but other and sad moments but otherwise fun for the family

a good clean movie.

THIS MOVIE IS GREAT BUT A BIT SAD AT SOME PARTS. OTHER PARTS WERE EXITING AND OTHER PARTS WERE HEART WARMING... ALL TOGETHER IT MADE AN EXELLENT PERFORMANCE!!!!!!!!!

the movie had many scary moments which were very realistic (man falling into ice, leopard seals attacking - very loud). the movie would have also been better if disney hadn't developed a relationship between the beautiful female helicopter pilot and the lead character.

my 7 year old daughter has been asking to watch what I consider to be "older" movies. My husband and younger son were away so we watched it together. Some decidedly scary moments but real life issues. Afterwards we had the greatest conversation about priorities and sacrifice. And adventure. The movie made for good discussion. Both of us loved the movie and now I know she's ready for some carefully chosen PG movies that we will watch together.

It's been a long time since I've seen a film I didn't have to mentally filter out some of the language, graphic scenes, or sexual content. This show is a winner. It strongly supports the virtues of loyalty and sacrifice too. It made my wife teary-eyed too.

What a great movie! My husband and I took our 2 kids to see this movie. (They are 8 and 10.) It was action packed almost the entire time. The dogs are adorable and it was hard to see them in peril. It was good to see the dogs work together to get out of tough situations. Being an animal lover, it was hard to watch Jerry leave his dogs! He does eventually get back to them, but it takes quite a while. That is a great moment! I would recommend this movie for kids 8 and up. It might be too involved for kids any younger. It definitely isn't your typical 'kid' movie.

My kids love it with those's pretty dogs.

A great family movie. We all loved it - however, my 8 1/2 year old ( a real dog lover) cried almost the whole movie, as soon as you could tell Jack (one of the dogs) would die. Perhaps too sad for younger kids. Otherwise, a great family-friendly movie!

Your basic Disney film about a likable guy, his likable friends, and some very furry heroes. Gratuitous profanity is a silly but minor drawback - it almost should be a "G" movie. There's something for everyone in the family: beautiful nature scenes, some tearjerker moments, some suspense, comic relief, and even a bit of violence (thanks to Mother Nature).

VERY clean moveie. No sexual content and the only language is one h--l. The only reason it may bother someone is that some animals die.(not shown)

I never saw the whole movie, but what I did see made me want to leave! I almost cried, and I begged my mom to let me leave the theater. I hated seeing the dogs die, and I thought it might be heart-breaking for anyone who loves dogs!

I wasn't expecting this to be a great movie. It looked like those "heartwarming" family films that I really dislike. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this was really a GREAT movie. Every kid will love the dogs and everyone else will love the story.

This movie is great for families and anyone!! It is about what this guy goes through for his dogs and how much they loved and cared about each other. Great for anybody!! A++++++++++

The whole entire movie I was crying. It was so sad seeing some of the dogs dying.

I LOVE this movie i saw it with my brother it was sad yet joyful Paul Walkers Greatest Performance it eas Great for everyone

I saw this movie last night with my best friend.We both cried when two dogs died.we both have dogs,(i have a shetland sheepdog, and she has a labradoodle)so it was really sad for us.We we're both suprised when the seal popped out of the whale.I would see this movie one million times.If you havn't seen it SEE IT!!!!!!I give it two thumbs up!

IT WAS A VERY GOOD MOVIE AND WE HAVE A DOG THAT IS A HUSKIE AND JUST DIED .

This movie is a mix of happy and sad the movie never feel's happy in the middle but 6 out of the 8 dogs surivie wich is good and bad.

OK i saw the movie it is soooo sad im a guy so if I say its sad its SAD!!And it IS!!Especially if your an animal person.

I enjoyed Eight Below alot more than I thought I would, it was an interesting and cool movie. Not quite as cute as I expected, either, the leopard seal attack was very intense for a PG rated movie. Good for kids: 9+

It was a great movie. Especially if your an animal luver like me! Plus the scenery was breathtaking and really amazing and the dogs were adorable! PS: "XXX" is a great movie also

This was an amazing movie, it was so sad. There were a lot of tearjerker parts in this movie. I think that this movie should have been rated G.
