After two hours in Walker's slack-jawed company, you feel like you've just gone through the Antarctic winter yourself. May 6, 2006 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Eight Below runs two hours and would have benefited from losing 30 minutes of that -- all of it from Jerry's (Paul Walker) protracted quest. The other human actors are simply types. Feb 23, 2006 | Full Review…

It's too clichéd, it's too rote, and honestly I think you have to care a little bit more about the individual dogs to believe that these people would care so much. Feb 21, 2006

This surprisingly impressive adventure tale from director Frank Marshall escaped being Disneyfied, meaning that the animals are heroic, wondrous and believable, but not cute. Aug 25, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

It's a family friendly dog adventure film, with great wintry location shots, an emotionally pleasing feel-good story and a one-note but warm star performance by Paul Walker. Jun 26, 2017 | Rating: B | Full Review…

The Alaskan Huskies of Eight Below are both better-looking and better performers than their human counterparts, and their vigilant scenes of solo survival on an Antarctic outpost make for the highlight of this otherwise predictable rescue mission. Nov 7, 2012 | Rating: 3/5

At first sight a fun but slightly sappy man-and-his-dogs story, Eight Below quickly evolves into a well-crafted wilderness adventure reminiscent of Disney's heyday. Mar 21, 2011 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

It's heartbreaking, it's exciting, it's engrossing, it's a home run for Disney, and it's finally a good performance for Paul Walker. Apr 29, 2009 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…
It's heartbreaking, it's exciting, it's engrossing, it's a home run for Disney, and it's finally a good performance for Paul Walker.

If only those actors could act, we'd have ourselves a gold winner.

Eight below is an emotional and good movie. The problem is that they say it was based on a true story, when in reality the dogs were lost they have no idea what happened to the dogs. It was depressing at times but could also be kind and good hearted. Its worth a watch but only once or twice.
Paul Walker makes this movie even better than it should have been! I did not expect this movie to be as good as it was, but it was fantastic. Paul Walker pulls off an amazing performance here, and the story is breathtaking.
