In 1862, pioneering meteorologist James Glaisher (Eddie Redmayne) teams up with daredevil balloon pilot Amelia Rennes (Felicity Jones) to advance human knowledge of the weather and fly higher than anyone in history. While their voyage to the very edge of existence helps the unlikely pair find their place in the world, they face physical and emotional challenges in the thin air, as the ascent becomes a fight for survival.

I saw this movie in Toronto for the film festival. I wasn't really expecting much but wow was I impressed! This was the first time in a long time I felt like I was seeing something I'd never seen before.
The special effects were top-notch... they didn't look like CGI and so I was never taken out of the movie. As good as the effects are, they are only PART of what makes this movie great. The characters (played by Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones) are amazing and both actors portray them with strength and vulnerability. Felicity is especially stunning, and she gives an amazing performance that's not to be missed. It takes a while to learn their backstories, but it's worth the investment. They really come to rely on each other in unexpected ways, and by the end you have a real sense of what the balloon ride means to each of them personally. The climax is so filled with suspense and emotion I was gasping in my seat.
REALLY glad I got to see it on the big screen. Would recommend doing the same if you can -- trust me it's worth the effort. You'll get lost in this movie and feel like you've traveled back in time to the Golden Age of Hollywood. I hope it releases near me so I can take my kids to see it.
