The Aeronauts

"Visually wondrous but short on substance otherwise (...) [it] is saved by the reunion of the captivating 'The Theory of Everything' co-leads." 

"[It] achieves impressive elevation as a bracing and sympathetic account of two early and very different aviators who together reached literal new heights in a perilous field of endeavor" 

"A hodge podge of a story hat only really works when Glaisher [Redmayne] and Wren [Jones] are in the sky. And when they are it’s absolutely gorgeous." 

"[It] is visually stunning thanks to the computer-generated effects in the air (...) Still, 'The Aeronauts' is hobbled time and again by the attempt to add the juice of fiction to a story that could and should have stood on its own. (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"When so many supersized blockbusters take the potential of CGI action for granted, 'The Aeronauts' finds a fresh use for it by turning the exhilaration of discovery into a real visual treat." 

"Jones and Redmayne charm in a lighter-than-air adventure (...) It’s not the most exciting movie you’ll see all year, but I was never bored while I was watching it." 

"A deathly dull piece of awards season bait, featuring a pair of uninspired lead performances."
