Atom User Reviews
Great lead actors, riveting plot and marvelous visuals.
A decent period drama with some uneven pacing. Felicity is great, but I found Redmane boring and uninteresting. The story is fine, if jumpy, but there were parts and characters that just felt completely unnecessary. I feel like this would've been better suited to a mini-series where the various characters' backstories and development could've been handled far better.
Metacritic
It’s Jones who dominates the film
There’s a terrific 50-minute fan edit somewhere in The Aeronauts, but as far as the theatrical experience goes, half of it is more than worth your time, if you’re willing to tolerate the other half.
The best audiences for this thrilling confabulation may be younger ones: They’ll feel their minds expand with inspiration and be less inclined to deflate back to earth afterward. Somebody did something amazing back in 1862; The Aeronauts commemorates it with artifice, enthusiasm, and a smattering of the truth.
