Gran Turismo

Some major strengths of the movies come from the technical standpoint. The movie was visually amazing. The performances were quite decent. The message of the movie which it tried to deliver was also conveyed in a good way. Family connections were also explored in a very organic way.

The problem in the movie was its highly linear storyline. Everything was highly predictable and one could easily guess what happens next (although it can't be complained much due to the movie being based on a true story).

Overall a decent movie with a good message which can surely be watched. But don't expect to be blown away in any sense.

Went into this not knowing the background of this film but came out pleasantly surprised with a great race car driving film but also a great video game film.

If it weren't a true story, the concept would have been cool but definitely not believable and therefore no where near as good as it is.

The racing and the direction taken to display the races was particularly impressive and at no point was it unclear what was going on. The acting was ok to begin with but got better as the film went on, especially with the emotional scenes. For me Harbour was the best actor in Gran turismo.

The script was fine but did it's job well of portraying the stakes in high intensity scenes.

Not really too much to fault as a true story racing film.

I'm not a gamer, I have an old version of GT kicking around I may have played last 5+ years ago, but no matter, what an incredible true story this was! I had no clue this actual story happened, and as far as true-events films go, this is right up there with the best. It's a true underdog inspirational story that was cast perfectly, and filmed just as great, with stunning effects, visuals and camera work. The pacing and story-flow was just right, in that the 134 min runtime flew by quickly. Watching it in a 4DX theatre added to the experience for sure. It's a well deserved 8/10 from me. Now I just may have to go find that old GT game and throw it in and go for a spin.

Well, I love the game, so I knew I was going to go watched it, and it's really good if you are a fan of the game. The idea that you can make playing Gran Turismo so real that you would get recruited to drive an actual race car like it was your PlayStation is a Gamer's fantasy and it comes alive in a movie that's not a fantasy but a legit true story.

Gran Turismo has got everything you need dramatically for a sports movie. The Trailers leading up to this film don't do it justice. It's got far more heart to it as it unfolds an amazing underdog story.

Like the game it's based on it showcase every aspect of racing but now with a more personal touch.

It's no Need for Speed but it's one of the best games adapted to a movie ever.

Here's The 4K Lowedown on the advanced screening of "Gran Turismo" (PG-13 - 2023 - Theater) Release date: August 11, 2023

Genre: Drama/Sport

My Score: 8.4 Cast=6 Acting=8 Plot=9 Ending=10 Story=8 Interest=9 Script=8 Cinema=9 Sport=7 Triumph=10

A struggling, working-class gamer, a failed former race car driver, and an idealistic motorsport exec risk it all to take on the most elite sport in the world.

"If you miss a line in the game, you reset...you miss it on the track, you could die." I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. I think you have to at least have knowledge of the game to appreciate the cinematography, but this is not a video game movie. It checked all the boxes for me with the action, racing, and the triumph over adversity. This is definitely worth a watch and was a good change of pace after watching Oppenheimer.
