It was a nice short movie, but one likely to be swiftly forgotten. Would recommend tho! Movies don't have to be something insanely weird or revolutionary.

There's hardly any story to be told in this movie: a couple goes up in an air balloon, they come down, they go up again. And then there's too many flashbacks preventing the (lack of) story to move forward.

The movie does occasionally pamper us with some breathtaking scenery but, while up there, it often feels like they were trying to do something similar to _Gravity_, but the visual and emotional impact was not the same.

All in all, there was too much romantic innuendo and too little adventurous soul in this one. [spoiler]Thankfully, they didn't fall into the "kissing each other when the trouble was finally over" cliché.[/spoiler]
A mildly entertaining but easily forgettable movie.

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.

The are some cool shots and imagery. The plot has too many flashbacks but some intense moments.

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 :relaxed:

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

Decent acting and some really pretty scenery (4K HDR), but overall a pretty meh movie. One thing I think is important to note is that it says based on a true story. Well it is very loosely based as Amelia wasn't actually on the voyage. Despite this movies repetitive 'woman power/feminism' notes, that part is totally made up as it was two men on this flight.... Just be careful what you take as fact that might not be.

I hate how the leading man just took up all the recognition. She saved him. He could've died up there with his ambitions. I hate that he's considered a "a man of science" and yet he wasn't aware of what lack of oxygen could do to his brain, his mentality. He could've prepared for that, very self unaware. Ugh. It's disgusting.

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."
