Hitting the Apex

A thrilling ride. This is a must see for any motor sport racing enthusiast. An intricately woven story which follows the storied racing careers of MotoGP Euro Italian legends Valentino Rossi and Marco Simoncelli, and their rival Spaniards. Intricately shot, the slow motion footage (ala Ron Howard's Rush 2013) of the quickest, most advanced motorbikes on the planet taking corners on legendary circuits throughout Europe puts you right in the saddle. Brad Pitt's narration, soothing and paternal adds the sort of star power and prestige this Euro racing docudrama deserves. 58, your legend lives!

I've probably only seen one or two MotoGP races in all my life. This documentary was beyond all my expectations. The editing was top, Brad Pitt's narration as well. There's really great morals you take from it too. I really enjoyed this one and I recommend it to everyone, even if you don't see MotoGP.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. I was particularly pleased that Marco Simoncelli was given his due as a modern great. I realised that this was the first time I saw his accident. I was watching live but I had turned my back on the TV before the coup de grace, and I immediately turned off the TV and left it alone. Such a sad day. The whole Doriano Romboni incident just rubbed salt in the wound. I guess the producers did right not to mention that in this context. Very good film.

It's difficult to say that everyone will like it, because I am biased, but even my girlfriend enjoyed it and she is not a sports fan generally and definitely not a motorcycle fan. The music is great, the visuals stunning. There is no acting, this is as real as it gets, and it's good.

As big F1 fan and a general motorsport fan, this has really opened my eyes to the world of MotoGP and I will be watching in future!
