Summary
Reviewers say 'F1: The Movie' offers thrilling racing sequences and impressive cinematography, appealing to both fans and newcomers. However, many criticize the unrealistic plot, lack of character depth, and over-reliance on clichés. Some appreciate the inclusion of real F1 personnel and behind-the-scenes insights, while others find the film's portrayal of F1 lacking authenticity and depth. The movie's balance between entertainment and realism is a point of contention, with some enjoying it as a fun, escapist film, and others feeling it falls short of capturing the true essence of Formula 1. Overall, the film is seen as a mixed bag, with strong visual and auditory elements but a weaker narrative and character development.
Featured reviews
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.
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.

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.

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!

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!

Race Car Movie Quiz With Javier and Damson
Did you know
- GoofsIn the final race in Abu Dhabi, Sonny Hayes shows up just before the race to participate in it. However, FIA regulations state that a driver change can be made before qualifying starts. Since the movie shows that everyone was surprised by the change of drivers at the race start, it means that Hayes didn't take part in qualifying, thus he shouldn't be eligible to race.
