The Aeronauts

Can't believe how underrated this movie is. It breaks my heart that this movie is going unnoticed.

Despite Amelia Wren being a fictional character (replacing Coxwell that was really the balloonist at the time), based in Sophie Blanchard, the first woman to work as a professional balloonist who became a celebrated aeronaut following her husband's death, the rest of the movie is pretty accurate, in fact, the balloon flight depicted in The Aeronauts is based on the 5 September 1862 flight of British aeronauts James Glaisher and Henry Coxwell whose coal gas-filled balloon broke the world flight altitude record.

To add, the music, the visual effects, the breathtaking scenery and the production are incredible. Not no mention the acting of the two main characters.

It is an amazing movie. Would likely recommend it to people who like a bit of adventure and historical fiction mixture.

the photograph in this film is breathtaking. good job guys

I enjoyed it. The action was great. I was left wanting more though.

Always love a film that stars Eddie Redmayne but the fact he’s reunited with Felicity Jones is a plus. The plot at first glance doesn’t sound like it’ll have much about it but I surprisingly really enjoyed the film as a whole. Some of the scenery from the balloon ascent was amazing and a little bit of humour made its way into the script too. Very enjoyable ☺

Never quite reaches the heights I imagined, but still an enjoyable enough tale thanks to the wonderful performances from the two leads.

Redmayne and Jones, that's the draw. Outstanding supporting cast. The story is inspired by the research of Glaisher but his pilot was not a woman (but aren't we glad it was for the movie?). The story telling was a little fractured. I give this film a 7 (good) out of 10. [Drama]

"Technically elegant but narratively flawed with a winning performance by Felicity Jones."

Actually pretty good afternoon movie, entertaining and not a marvel sequel, I know the late is asking too much from nowadays movie makers and goers.

The movie played on my fear of heights from time to time and the action on the balloon, when not just gazing at the clouds, was wonderful. However, when the flashbacks to the land occur, the movie loses some hard fought for momentum. Still, an entertaining ride and a thrilling adventure.
