The high altitude balloon flight scenes in this fictional depiction of early balloonists are pretty interesting. The scenes on the ground might entice someone to watch it with you. If the ground action bores you, fast forward to the flight scenes.

I won't post any spoilers.


It's nothing but a bunch of Hot Air

They used 'coal gas' in that era. Coal gas contains a lot of hydrogen.

It was meant as a joke Mr Flubber - watched last night - interesting concept even though it was based on "fictitious event" 37,000 feet - no frost bite, no hypoxia, able to climb to the top of the balloon to open gas hatch??
