23 of 23 · most liked firstI got a little insight into the wonderfully researched and creative world of prop making when I did a spot of advising on the Aeronauts film. Vintage instruments and the loving creation of a leather-bound volume of meteorological observations that probably had seconds on screen.

Main character is male and entirely disinterested in romance, so no worries there. Not sure I'd call it mid/post industrial revolution; society kind of developed around the dungeons and they have their own version of magical technology instead. Really dives in deep into how the magical systems and technology work. I really enjoyed watching the MC learn his…

unlabelledView post →In the 2019 Amazon Prime film THE AERONAUTS, I liked the scene where the fictional 19th-century balloonists visit a workshop full of seamstresses fashioning envelopes for balloons. A nice nod to Women Who Make Things.
unlabelledView post →I thought it would be funny to watch The Peaky Blinders film, having never seen one minute of the show, but I just noticed it was directed by Tom Harper. Harper has made some terrible films, notably Wild Rose, Heart of Stone, and The Aeronauts.
unlabelledView post →I visited the studios working on the Aeronauts film with Eddie Redmayne, and was very impressed by the design side and the research they put in. I even took them to the RAS to see archive notebooks, which they painstakingly recreated. Maybe seconds in the film?
unlabelledView post →Fair do’s. I liked The Aeronauts film and HP prequels. Maybe he is an actor after all 😂 I thought 70’s DotJ film was awful largely down to Edward Fox being 2 dimensional.

unlabelledView post →Well, I like Jones and I like Redmayne so I had high hopes for this, plus it was based on true events... and I understood that it was going to be exaggerated for dramatic effect, but I didn't think it was going to be a total rewrite of history. I don't mind taking artistic licenses when making movies based on historical events... but I had no idea that Henry Coxwell was a woman named Amelia Rennes and I didn't know that she was the only one capable of doing anything of value on the flight. But,…
negative · AI labelView post →The Aeronauts is a100-minute long illustration of the rule in Ebert's Little Movie Glossary that teaches us, "no good movie has ever featured a hot-air balloon," though it takes it less than 10 minutes to show why — right about the point where a poor, defenseless dog is parachuted from a hot-air balloon; the animal makes a safe landing, which of course raises the question, how does a dog, lacking both the brainpower and opposable thumbs, successfully operates a parachute? This film actually…
negative · AI labelView post →The Aeronauts ascends through the weathering clouds to deliver a beautifully panoramic adventure. The sky is our limit. Our ambitious endeavours, boundless by the mysterious stars that plague the night. Eloquent diamonds dancing on a twinkled canvas. The infallible lust for discovery, eternally motivated to make the world and ourselves more habitable. Safer. Predictable. Harper’s loose adaptation of Holmes’ novel, for better or worse, takes the capabilities of artistic licence and alters…
positive · AI labelView post →There's little groundbreaking about 'The Aeronauts', but that isn't to diminish what an excellent and genuinely thrilling experience it is. At its best, it's 'Gravity' in a hot air balloon, a nail-biting and awe-inspiring adventure of human beings pitted against the ferocity of the elements. Tom Harper has done a sterling job elevating Jack Thorne's screenplay and imbuing it with tremendous tension. Even with its faults, 'The Aeronauts' knows exactly what kind of film it needs to be and does so…
