The easy-to-apply criticism of Netflix is that they make big-budget films with massive global stars— “Red Notice” with Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot, and Dwayne Johnson, “The Gray Man” with Chris Evans and Ryan Gosling—the streaming service touts the first weekend numbers (“most streamed ever!!”), and then the films are never heard from again after that opening, let alone ever entering the cultural zeitgeist conversation.

Gal Gadot’s tenure as Wonder Woman may have ended, as “Wonder Woman 3” is reportedly not moving forward as the newly formed DC Studios is seemingly moving in a new direction (we shall see). However, this doesn’t mean Gadot is slowing down her output of action projects. She’s already returned to the “Fast & Furious” franchise, and next for the Israeli actress is Netflix’s “Heart of Stone” coming this summer.

After their acclaimed roles opposite each other in “The Theory of Everything,” actors Felicity Jones and Eddie Redmayne were destined to star with each other in the future. Their chemistry is undeniable in that film, which makes their roles in “The Aeronauts” so damn exciting.

The Wright Brothers are the pioneers of air travel, having invented the first airplane. Well before that, hot air balloons were the only way to get above the ground, and “The Aeronauts” tells the gripping story of exploration and survival. Directed by Tom Harper, an Englishman who has led the likes of popular BBC series “Peaky Blinders” and 2009s “The Scouting Book For Boys,” comes a film inspired by real-life events which see a pilot and scientist take to the skies to discover more about the weather.

When you have an acting duo like Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones tear it up on screen in an Oscar-winning film such as “The Theory of Everything” (where the former won the Oscar and the latter was nominated), then you do whatever you can to put them back on screen together. And sadly, since a sequel to ‘Everything’ doesn’t seem to be in the cards, Amazon Studios did the next best thing — put the two folks in a hot air balloon in the new film “The Aeronauts.”

As seen in the UK trailer for “The Aeronauts,” Redmayne plays a 19th-century meteorologist that has the crazy idea that if you study the atmosphere, you might actually be able to predict the weather.

TELLURIDE – Despite her 5’3 frame there is a fire in Felicity Jones that has helped propel her into becoming one of the toughest actresses working in mainstream film. Over the past three years, she’s battled an evil Empire a galaxy far, far away and portrayed the iconic Ruth Bader Ginsberg (name a character braver than the Notorious R.B.G.). In her latest endeavor, Tom Harper’s “The Aeronauts,” which debuted at the 2019 Telluride Film Festival this weekend,  she’ll legitimately have you afraid for her personal safety as she dangles from a balloon thousands of feet in the air.

It’s been five years since Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones took awards season by storm in their Stephen Hawking biopic “The Theory of Everything,” which netted the former an Oscar and the latter a nomination. The two reunite five years later for “The Aeronauts,” a British drama from Amazon Studios and rising indie director Tom Harper (whose pretty great 2019 music dramedy “Wild Rose” is worth seeking out).

Inspiring and triumphant, the music drama “Wild Rose” serves as a foot-stomping rebuke to the exasperating phonies who claim to love all music, “except rap and country.” From its opening moments, this stirring musical drama about an aspiring singer rocks, kicking off with a southern-fried cover of Scottish band Primal Scream’s “Country Girl” and running through songs originally sung by Wynonna Judd, Emmylou Harris, Chris Stapleton, and Patty Griffin.
