F1

Visually en auditory the race sequences are absolutely stunning, but the story, the plot and dialogue in general are just horrible and generic.

It makes F1 look like an absolute joke, like just anyone can drive these cars. This supposedly 60 y/o guy can still beat these young athletes who have trained their whole lives for this sport. It just deminishes their accomplishments and hard work.

Also, he can just break every rule when it comes to racing and get away with it. It makes F1 look like a clown show. Weird that f1 approved this.

The only thing I liked were the racing and some funny F1 references. Although, the racing strategies were just utterly bizarre, it was still a decent watch.

Disgraceful to the sport, wouldn't recommend if you're not into motorsport.

Okay let's start by saying I am not a fan of Formula 1. So I don't know anything about the rules etc. Yes there might be a lot rule-breqking in this movie but it is after all just that...a movie. It's purely for entertainment and not for realism. And boy is it entertaining. It's wonderful to see Brad Pitt back in the charismatic laid-back character role that he was born to play. The story is simple (class underdog story) but it js incredibly thrilling and fun.

The action scenes are phenomenal as is the sound. I am a huge fan of Director Joseph Kosinski and his cinematographer partner Claudio Miranda. I met them both a few years ago at the Cameraimage Festival in Torun, Poland and they are incredible filmmakers. Can't wait for Top Gun 3!

I usually enjoy Brad Pitt movies but he was definitely flat in this one and didn't bring much to his character. The whole story was very lazy and nowhere close to racing movies such as Rush and Ford vs Ferrari. It had the bones to be good but everything was flat with silly storylines like Sonny basically driving illegally and the thin story of combat can beat speed on the race track, not going to happen but it helped the storyline so let's just bend reality and let Pitt smirk his way to a win. Too bad but it has decent moments, just not enough!

Firstly, the music. Oh boy!

I came expecting engine roars... and instead got Hans Zimmer blasting emotions at 300 km/h. I wasn't prepared for this concert. I came to the theatre for Formula 1, not to feel my feelings in Dolby Atmos. The guitars and drums were doing more laps than the cars.

Cinematography? A thing to Marvel at!

No, no - NOT that Marvel. This isn't a multiverse; this is motorsport. But I'll give it to Kosinski - the man knows how to shoot speed. The close-ups, the helmet cams, the pit lane drama - it's all smoother than Lewis on a soft compound.

Kosinski pulls it off again As expected, the Top Gun: Maverick director brings his signature hyper-real-but-just-believable-enough style. Everything looks slick, the tension is palpable, and the racing feels intense. The cars look real, the tracks feel familiar, and the drama is soaked in cinematic polish - and maybe a bit of Red Bull too.

Now, dear hardcore F1 fans... You will suffer. In silence.

Yes, yes - the pit stop timings are a joke, strategy makes no sense, tyre degradation is apparently fictional, and someone said "DRS" like it's a Marvel superpower. You'll sit there, physically cringing, as your non-F1 friends lean over and say, "Omg I didn't know Formula 1 was this emotional." You'll want to scream, but you won't. You'll smile. You'll nod. Then later, you'll go straight to Reddit, type furiously, and find solace in a thread titled "Things that made no damn sense in the F1 movie - Spoiler heavy".

Final thoughts: Is it accurate? Not really.

Is it entertaining? Absolutely.

Is Brad Pitt believable as an ageing F1 comeback driver? Well... let's just say Fernando Alonso might have notes.

Go watch it. Just don't forget - it's not Formula 1. It's Formula Fun-damentally unrealistic, but kinda awesome.

Just got out of the theater. It was a full theater so I got my tickets weeks in advance. I've never watched anything F1 related in my life. I give it a 7.5/10. The IMAX scenes were fantastic. No shortage of those. The story was a classic underdog story. Still pretty good in my opinion. There was some pretty good comedy mixed in. The amount of advertising from companies was INSANE. There really was a lot.

The music was fantastic. I wish we heard more, but the main songs were barely in the movie. Just bits of it mainly the start of the songs. I was most hyped to hear "Messy" and "Just Keep Watching" but it was only like 15 seconds of each song played back to back. I was really looking forward to hearing the full song in theater but oh well

Worth a one time watch.
