14 Minutes from Earth (2016)
Doesn't make logical sense
The movie begins with a description of the stratosphere and how little we know about it, in addition to how critical it is - then we get into the story of trying to raise a human to the stratosphere so he can fall through it. If the idea is to collect data on the stratosphere, I believe developing a drone that could remain in position for more than a few minutes would be much more productive. This movie with the pictures of his kids, the interview with his wife and co-workers at Google, all seemed staged to be nothing more than stroking this guy's ego. I just don't see how falling through the stratosphere (which has been done approximately 60 years ago), is going to give you enough data worth the time and expense. The movie was just a PR stunt, why else would you film it? It's like bad reality television.
