F1: O Filme

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.

I'll keep if brief

9/10 visual. Very top gun.

7.5/10 racing accuracy. Overall good except the fact that sonny didn't see one black flag for any of the things he did, and, curbs don't launch f1 cars like that.

4/10 story. Same old individual heroism hollywood story that has been told 200 times.

6/10 characters. Only sonny's character motivation is established. Other characters have varying degrees of "why do they want to be here" syndrome, some worse than others. But the main characters have visible character development throughout the film nevertheless so overall not shockingly bad characters.

A lot of people complain about the runtime. Sure the story can comfortably be told within 90min. But they stretched the extra 40min to mostly show some gripping fictional f1 races. Not the worst usage of screen time.

6.5/10 my final score rounding up to 7.

Reviews harping on about the story miss the point. Embrace the corn and enjoy yourself.

The action is good, although unbelievable it's clear the team cared about F1 and did their best to make it exciting to watch. I personally love how corny the whole thing is, it helps you turn off and enjoy the ride. Brad Pitt plays his classic cool guy persona, the supporting crew is entertaining the nods to the real F1 drivers and team directors are nice but not overplayed.

They did a phenomenal job with the practical effects and racing scenes. Honestly if you go to a racing move what else do you want. If you want everything to be realistic go watch a documentary.

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.

7.4/10 (Definitely Recommend)

To be the best of the best in Formula One, you're not just racing against other drivers. You're racing the machine itself. Victory demands unmatched speed, strength, and strategy. Does this film capture that reality? It absolutely does, as it offers but a glimpse into the thrilling intensity of the real sport.

What makes this film particularly compelling is its immersive execution. It places the viewer right in the driver's seat, delivering a visceral sense of the tension and exhilaration that define each race. The cinematography is outstanding, masterfully shifting between cockpit views and dynamic race footage to create a strikingly authentic atmosphere. The sound design further enhances the experience, using realistic audio and racing jargon to make you feel like a true member of the pit crew.

While the storyline follows a familiar arc, a fiery rookie and a renegade old-timer, the performances from Damson Idris and Brad Pitt bring undeniable charisma and chemistry. Their emotional interplay adds depth to the narrative and keeps the audience engaged, even as the plot treads well-worn paths. The emotional highs and lows of competition are palpable, and the audience's reactions, including audible gasps, speak to the film's dramatic impact.

In the end, this is a film for those who crave the thrill. Its standout cinematography and sound design offer a gripping portrayal of the racing world. While it may not convert everyone into lifelong F1 fans, it will undoubtedly spark some curiosity about the sport. And if you have the chance to see it on an IMAX screen - take it. As I would have no doubt it would be amazing. The larger the format, the more electrifying the experience.

That's it for now. Thanks for taking time to read my review. Happy watching and enjoy the show!
