DISCLAIMER: I did not see this movie in its original language(Korean), but in a dubbed version(Italian). I may have missed some nuances.

_The Aeronauts_ intrigued me straight from the moment I saw its poster. I had never seen a movie revolving around a hot air balloon.

Visually, the movie is absolutely stunning. There are great scenes, with the balloon high up over the clouds, that gave me the chills. They really managed to convey the altitude, the loneliness and the cold that I always imagined are common up there. Superb job on the visuals part.

The story left me a bit disappointed. First off, the Amelia is a completely invented character, which, considering how central to the story she is and how the movie said to be inspired by a true story, I find a bit irritating. Especially considering that the real person who accompanied Glaisher on his flight is quite interesting on its own. That aside, I found the use of flashbacks excessive. They didn't add much to the movie, giving information that the viewer could have easily picked up themselves, and they distracted from the ascent.

The cast did a wonderful job; from the main leads to the supporting actors, I found them all very good. Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones have great chemistry on screen.

In the end, it's quite a forgettable movie, but an enjoyable one. With a short runtime of one hour and forty minutes, it is a nice way to spend an evening.
