Do you want to go on an exciting adventure in a hot air balloon? The Aeronauts can offer you this immersive experience. The film, inspired by a true story, hit Chinese theaters on Nov 13. It stars Oscar nominee Felicity Jones and Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne. The pair plays hot air balloonist Amelia Wren and pioneering meteorologist James Glaisher, respectively. They soared 11,278 meters off the ground – over 2,000 meters higher than Mount Qomolangma – in a balloon in 1862. “The film is visually stunning thanks to the computer-generated effects in the air and the artistry of [the] cinematographer ... and production designers ...” Rolling Stone commented. Much of the film was shot from a hot air balloon and a helicopter. What makes it more impressive is the adventurous spirit and enduring personalities of the main characters. Glaisher was motivated by his passion “for making a science out of weather predicting, thereby saving lives”, the Los Angeles Times noted. As the balloon goes higher and higher, we, as movie viewers, enjoy splendid visuals and experience floating above the Earth in a tiny basket. But for Glaisher and Wren, they were bearing the cold, breathing hard for oxygen, and risking their lives. ![]() (Translator & Editor: Wang Xingwei AND Luo Sitian)
