But the movie as a whole gets only 7/10 from me - they tried to pep up the images with a story about a boy helping the young eagle to survive. The winter scenes are haunting in their intensity, too. there are some truly memorable scenes in this movie, among them a very intense, drawn-out scene where the young eagle tries his talons at a mountain-goat maybe one or two sizes too big for him. They even managed to mount miniaturised HD cameras on an eagle to capture some flight imagery. We're not talking wolves, dogs or whatever here, we're talking golden eagles and they're not easy to film - so what we DO see on screen here is absolutely stunning (and I'm a fan of nature docs). There are quite a few kid/animal stories out there what sets this one apart is the incredibly good cinematography.
