F1

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!

It's sort of fun,Brad pitt is his usual charismatic self, Damon iris is solid in support, kerry condon is always great and a very underated actress, but to.be honest if you are a fan of actual formula one the story is beyond ridiculous, not one part of it makes any sense, its all style and not much substance, the dialogue is very cheesy, nothing is in anyway surprising as a blind man could see what was going to happen All in all its a well shot film, the racing sequences are great, but again if you've ever watched actual formula 1, they are beyond ridiculous, the real team heads that are used for cameos are especially poor, its mildly entertaining but ultimately pretty forgettable.

The way the movie was shot is magnificent. Brad Pitt is magnificent too. The problem is racing. The whole movie is like superb until they start racing. The endurance race at the beginning, the way Sonny is convinced to join to the APX team, the first test and the rivalry between the two drivers are all very well made. Unfortunately when they actively start to race the movie falls apart. Sonny constantly makes moves that you couldn't have ever seen ever from any driver before. Not to mention the car upgrades. One single update makes the worst car on the grid capable of winning. TBH if you follow F1 you simply can't enjoy this dumb portrayal of the sport. Once again Pitt still rocks 🔥

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!

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.
