In all in for Masters of the Air. Years away but I'm sure it will be as compelling and well done as Band of Brothers and The Pacific.
This.

If they spend all this money on talent, special effects, and other production values, but then hire Lorne Balfe, some other Zimmer satellite, Junkie XL, and so forth and so on, it'll be like taking a big fat dump on it.

I read about Tom Hanks/Steven Spielberg producing Masters Of The Air a few years ago, then nothing, I thought it had all been dropped. So Apple+ has come up with the huge budget, I'm sure it'll be great, but they haven't started filming yet, is it cast, or even fully written? It could be two or three years before we see it (I must have another look at Band Of Brothers & The Pacific).
Jungle Cruise looks like good undemanding fun (esp. if you're a fan of The Rock), I'll see it, well, wait for the Blu-ray.
