Entertaining sports drama featuring great racing sequences from director Joseph Kosinski, thrilling score by Hans Zimmer and fine performances by Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem. Not a fan of racing in general but this one was pretty solid. **4.0/5**

A true blockbuster! Although predictable, and a little long, the movie works from start to finish as Brad Pitt brings major star power.

There is no need to say a lot about the movie, it was very very very nice. If you don't care about F1 but just casually like any competition just give it a go. It is really hard for me to watch a longer video without doing something else too but I watched the entire length of this movie without thinking anything about doing something else or eat or touching my phone. Some more thoughts if you already watched the movie and just want to read things others say but you really should not care about: could it have been better? yes, i missed more info about certain events or characters. not much more, but just a little bit more. the ending? perfect. I expected something else then it still delivered. I don't really know how to say this but you can feel proud watching this, the entire way through t

With Sir Lewis Hamilton and F1 media veteran Ian Holmes amongst those at the helm of this production, you can be certain that it’s going to be as an authentic story of all things F1 (can’t be bothered finding the trademark symbol) as you’re ever likely to see. It’s all about team “Ruben” (Javier Bardem) whose cars couldn’t beat an egg and so is looking at ending up broke! His remaining driver is British rookie “Joshua” (Damson Idris) but he’s nowhere near experienced enough to make any impact on the problem. For that, he needs to coax back “Sonny” (Brad Pitt) who did drive these cars twenty years ago but hung up his helmet after an accident and then became an itinerant driver eking a living across the USA. Can he be tempted? Well we’d have no film if he wasn’t so the next question is: can

I am so glad I'm F1 illiterate. Even though I know basically nothing about this sport, I can still feel how unrealistic everything is. The opening scene had me going, "Yeah right. Calm down already." But really, it doesn't matter. This has the hallmarks of producer Jerry Bruckheimer, it's dumb and it's fun. It has to be somewhat dumb to be this much fun. Everytime there was a reference made to the '90s, I couldn't help but think that that, too, was Jerry's hayday. Con Air anyone? The Rock? It's everything that we miss from the ideology-laden racist and sexist pedantic sub-AI-level slop that Hollywood churns out these days, and it's kinda ironic that we're getting it from woke Apple. But I'm not complaining. Watching this I had flashbacks to Top Gun Maverick, which was also su
