Eight Below

...the dogs make their own way across the continent for six months. Inspired by a true story, this is a reworking of Koreyoshi Kurahara's 1983 film 'Antarctica'.

You think penguins have it bad? At least they've adapted to survive in Antarctica. "Eight Below" tells the harrowing story of a dogsled team left chained outside a research station when the humans pull out in a hurry.

...the time has never been better for a heartwarming fact-based tale of adorable-animal survival amid the savage bleakness of an Antarctic winter.

The all-dog sequences are marvelous, so expressively are they shot (...) amid the amazingly desolate and deathly environment.
