I was on the edge watching this movie from beginning to end. I LOVED the fact that Amelia Wren was fictionalized since the real James Glaisher took off on this adventure with Henry Coxwell. She proved herself fearless while climbing atop the balloon, almost to space, and saved her and James' life. She rescued her passion for doing what she loved, the memory of her beloved husband, and the newly-met partnership with James. AND her character was set in a time where women were extremely limited to what they could do. The fact that she fearlessly powered through the obstacles in this film is nothing more than spectacular. This movie was so inspiring. Even the actual historical event itself. The fact that these men took off during a time where predicting weather was laughable, and they proved it absolutely plausible. It's almost crazy to think about living in a world where not having a weather report is possible. Mr. Glaisher not only historically and scientifically changed our view on the weather, but he pushed his limit of bravery as well. Being able to fly to the utmost highest point in the sky, exposed vulnerable in a BALLOON, and make history when no one thought you could make for a great story.
