Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach is celebrating its 20th anniversary with none other than the Navy’s elite flight demonstration squadron, the Blue Angels. It’s been a big week for the Blues — not only are they returning to New York’s airspace, but they’re making headlines in a big way thanks to a new Prime Video documentary that followed the squad during the 2022 season.“The Blue Angels,” which hit Amazon’s streaming service on May 23 after a weeklong run in IMAX theaters, is a passion project of actor Glen Powell, who produced the doc alongside J.J.
Abrams. Powell got a chance to fly with the Blue Angels following his role as hotshot fighter pilot Hangman in “Top Gun: Maverick” and from there, an idea was born.
Powell told DECIDER, “it sort of hit me that, okay, with where we are with IMAX technology…we are able to put audiences in a cockpit, not only on a technological level, but also an emotional level.” In fact, the same IMAX technology used to film the “Top Gun” sequel was used to bring audiences closer to the Blues than ever before.In addition to high-flying aerial sequences, the documentary also covers training and the sacrifices these aviators make by spending extended periods of time away from family. “The Blue Angels” makes the perfect Memorial Day watch, and luckily, there’s an easy way to stream it for free.
“The Blue Angels” is streaming exclusively on Prime Video, Amazon’s streaming service. To watch anything on Prime Video, you’ll first need to be an Amazon Prime subscriber.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Next week, on June 7, the entertaining and highly acclaimed geek-goes-undercover-as-contract-killer screwball romantic thriller “Hit Man,” starring It Dude of the moment Glen Powell, drops on Netflix. But this weekend, in case you hadn’t noticed, the movie opened “in theaters.” How many theaters? If you use your hands and feet to count, you’ll have most of them covered. Netflix, the company that did for streaming what McDonald’s did for fast food (made it everyone’s new normal), always likes to make a big show of when it’s playing a movie “in theaters.” It has long amused me to see entertainment journalists get suckered into this public-relations gambit, for the simple reason that so many of them live in New York and L.A., where the tiny number of theaters occasionally playing a Netflix movie tend to be.
