A Fantastic Encore from Joseph Kosinski - A Love Letter to Speed and Storytelling"Plan C is For Combat" -Sonny Hayes Watched F1:T With Brad Pitt(Ad Astra) as Sonny Hayes, Damson Idris(Outside The Wire) as Joshua Pearce aka JP, Kerry Condon(Rome,Star Wars:Skeleton Crew) as Kate McKenna, Javier Bardem(Dune Part 2) as Ruben Cervantes, Tobias Menzies(The Way Up) as Peter Banning, Shea Wigham(Kong :Skull Island, Mission:Impossible-The Final Reckoning) as Chip Hart , Kim Bodina(Killing Eve) as Kasper Smilonski, Sarah Niles(Viewpoint) as Bernadette Pearce, Will Merrick(Barbie) as Hugh Nickleby , Callie Cooke(Doctor Who) as Jodie and Abdul Sallis (Mufasa:The Lion King) as Dodge Dowda.After Top Gun: Maverick (2022), I was eager to see what Joseph Kosinski would deliver next-and he did not miss. This film is an incredible encore, echoing the heart and intensity of Maverick, but swapping the fighter jets for the raw, visceral thrill of Grand Prix **** dynamic between Sonny Hayes and his younger teammate was powerful-reminiscent of Maverick and Rooster, but grounded in the world of motorsport. Their tension and eventual mutual respect gave the story real emotional weight. And much like Top Gun: Maverick, this film is built for everyone-not just fans of **** romance subplot with Kate McKenna worked beautifully too, in a way that felt natural and earned-evoking the charm of Penny Benjamin without ever copying it. Kosinski brings his signature style and heart once again, crafting a movie that not only thrills but honors the legacy of speed and legacy. It also feels like a fitting tribute to George Lucas, whose love for racing predates even his filmmaking days.This film is not just a crowd-pleaser-it's a moment for motorsport, and it's going to grow the F1 audience even more. I'll be first in line for Top Gun 3, but for now, I'm more than happy to be seated for this. Kosinski continues to prove he's one of the most reliable blockbuster directors working today.Great Music By Hans Zimmer(The Creator), Cinematography By Claudio Miranda(Spiderhead) and Directing By Joseph Konsinski (Oblivion, Top Gun:Maverick) . A Fantastic Encore from Joseph Kosinski - A Love Letter to Speed and Storytelling 8/10.

I could beat around the bush about this one, but I won’t: If you’re looking for innocuous, mindless entertainment lacking in substance and riddled with clichés and implausibilities, all supported by admittedly impressive action-adventure cinematography, then this is the movie for you. Writer-director Joseph Kosinski has yet again created a picture that’s the perfect choice for those times when you just want to kick back, turn your brain off and let your consciousness be nurtured on a mind-numbing visual pacifier for a few hours (although, in this case, those “few hours” may go on a little long even for those most accustomed to absorbing this kind of cinematic fare). Essentially “F1” is a shallow dive into the world of Formula One auto racing with cookie-cutter characters playing out narrative expectations that we have seen countless times before, especially in the world of sports movies: an aging veteran who never attained the success he wanted seeks redemption late in his career (Brad Pitt) at the behest of an old friend who needs a favor (Javier Bardem), all the while mentoring a promising but green rookie (Damson Idris) (who looks more like a model from the cover of GQ than a world class Formula One driver) and courting a reluctant and unlikely romantic interest (Kerry Condon). Along the way there are the requisite setbacks, rebellious outbursts, clandestine betrayals, improbable miracles and moments of predictable glorious victory, all timed to show up perfectly on cue. Mind you, there’s nothing inherently wrong with any of this, but none of it is particularly original or groundbreaking, even if set in a previously untapped milieu. In light of that, then, those looking for better offerings about the world of motor sports (particularly Formula One) would be better served by screening previous releases on the subject, such as John Frankenheimer’s Oscar-winning “Grand Prix” (1966) and Ron Howard’s “Rush” (2013), both of which feature stories that are more engaging and don’t play like a ground-based version of “Top Gun: Maverick” (2022) (which, incidentally, Kosinski also directed – coincidence?). What’s more, like the sport of Formula One (and, for that matter, virtually all of auto racing itself), the film is a rather shameless exercise in product placement advertising, which, admittedly, lends a degree of “authenticity” to the film but that also grows somewhat tiresome after a while. To its credit, “F1” provides aspiring filmmakers and audiences with a clinic in masterful action-adventure movie cinematography, special effects, sound, stunt work and film editing (even if the non-action-adventure sequences could use some serious pruning at times, especially in light of the production’s bloated 2:35:00 runtime), accomplishments that have helped earn the picture seven Critics Choice Award nominations, two Golden Globe Award nods and a Top 10 Movie honor from the National Board of Review. To be sure, this release may score big points for its technical achievements, but don’t expect much more from it than that, especially when it comes to surprise developments, narrative freshness or outstanding acting (particularly by Pitt, who, true to form, once again proves that he’s far better at comedy than dramatic roles). Indeed, by the time the end of this picture finally rolls around, viewers may relish the waving of the checkered flag almost as much as the drivers themselves.

Film is great. Top notch acting from all actors. Captures the essence of just how much dedication is need for the sport and how thrilling, exciting and also dangerous the sport is. Would recommend, 5 Stars!

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 such a breath of uncomplicated popcorn-throwing fresh air, and lo and behold this is from the same director. Absolutely worth a watch, possibly infuriating if you're not motorsport illiterate.

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 he manage to salvage this operation before it’s sold for scrap? True to form with this sport, what now ensues sees all the glitz and glamour of circuits around the world; money no object cars, training and equipment; testosterone galore both in the car and with team tech director “Kate” (Kerry Condon) as well as a whole slew of rule manipulating, crashes, downright cheating and I have to say, some of the best action and in-car photography I’ve seen on a big screen. Indeed, I could cheerfully have lived without the dramatic characterisation here altogether, and just stuck to the tensely directed and really compelling action sequences that, especially using the in-car cameras, is genuinely quite exciting to watch. You really do get a sense of the speed of the cars racing round the tracks and of the phenomenal engineering that goes into the design and manufacture of these cars that at times look no more substantial than an Airfix kit. Pitt is in his element here delivering a character that’s a lovable rogue meets smug git whilst Idris comes across entirely naturally as the youngster out of his depth but willing and determined to learn. The soundtrack from the likes of Queen and Led Zeppelin livens up what I’d have to say isn’t Hans Zimmer’s most memorable score, and with the last half hour largely devoid of the romantic and emotional clutter, we watch something that shows us this circus in full pomp. You don’t need to be remotely interested in this topic to enjoy this film, you only really need a pulse and a great big screen.

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 the movie. There is nothing to really cringe about and I really appreciate this. This alone makes this movie in the top for me. A lot of new and relatively new movies (especially drama, fantasy, super hero things) are cringefest and in parts uncomfortable to watch. This is not. I am happy.
