i just do not get it . most jules verne book and which i adore and be write like movie script . it be just so easy to figure out what a film faithful to a verne book would look like . just get a few good actor and a good director and a few special effect and there you go . but not with this and most adaptation from jules verne book . 2 long book be utterly betray . everything be change and from the type of aircraft and from what happen to it and from the character that end up in it and from why people decide to get into such a canon ball in the first place when and in the original story and nobody be suppose to fly in it . the witty and amusing michel ardan be go and replace by a woman stowaway . utter drivel . just read the original and do the film in your head and it be so much good .
