F1

As a longtime F1 fan, F1: The Movie completely blew me away. From the very first scene, you can tell this was made to be watched in a theater - it's loud, fast, emotional, and immersive in all the right ways.

The cinematography is stunning - easily the best I've seen in a racing film since Rush, maybe even since Top Gun: Maverick. The sound design and musical score elevate every race scene to something visceral and epic. I genuinely got chills more than once.

Sure, there are a few moments that feel a bit cliché or unrealistic, especially if you're deeply familiar with the world of Formula 1. But the film's technical brilliance and emotional punch more than make up for that.

In short: this movie is a love letter to F1 and to cinema itself. Whether you're a hardcore motorsport fan or just looking for an intense, high-octane story - you'll be in for a ride.

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!

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.

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.

F1 has you on the edge of your seat 100% of the running time, which is long, but nobody cares. Live action incredibly filmed, great story, Def not cookie- cutter. Plus, I loved the program music. This is a go- see film!

A pity there had to be a romance thrown into the mix, but it was tastefully and believably done.

Additionally, moviegoers got a tremendous amount of behind- the- scenes techie and deal- making insider information.

The most stunning part of F100was the camera work. I don't know how this was filmed, but it was incredibly realistic. And Brad Pitt shows that he still has it!

You will thoroughly enjoy this film.
