As long you nothing about the real story you'll enjoy this and see it for what it is - a visual masterpiece which would be amazing in IMAX .
History was made by Glaisher and his male co pilot reaching roughly the height of Everest - the achievements of Victorians in their primitive pioneering equipment has to be admired
For drama and film fans the fictional female co pilot works really well and adds to the story who cares if it's not accurate - is Shakespeare historical ? Not it's drama based on history .
Felicity Jones is the star of the show both in her acting and the character she plays .
Greenwich looks great as the obvious location to base most of the film in and the drama in the basket could easily transfer to stage .
The film deserves credit for costume , setting and make up .
It's a film like a piece of classical music it takes a while to get into but builds up to a great crescendo always backed up by a great script
Pad.A 7/10
