Following Top Gun: Maverick, I was looking forward to seeing what Joseph Kosinski would do next, and he certainly didn’t disappoint. This feels like a wonderful continuation of his previous work, sharing the same spirit and excitement, but shifting the focus from fighter planes to the intense reality of Grand Prix racing. Sonny Hayes, portrayed by Brad Pitt (Ad Astra), alongside Damson Idris (Outside The Wire) as Jos…

If I were inclined to soften my assessment, I wouldn't: This film is ideal for anyone seeking undemanding entertainment that lacks depth and relies heavily on tired tropes and unbelievable plot points—though it’s undeniably accompanied by impressive action-adventure visuals. Writer-director Joseph Kosinski has once again delivered a movie perfect for those times when you just want to relax, switch off your thinking, …

This movie really delivers; it's excellent. The performances are superb across the board. It does a wonderful job showing exactly what kind of commitment goes into this activity, and conveys just how exhilarating, captivating, and risky it can be. I definitely suggest checking it out, easily earning a 5-star rating from me.

I’m honestly thankful I don’t understand Formula 1 racing. Despite my complete lack of knowledge about the sport, it was still obvious to me how fabricated everything felt. The very first scene made me think, "No way. Settle down." But frankly, that's beside the point. This has all the signs of a Jerry Bruckheimer production—it’s silly and entertaining. It *has* to be somewhat mindless to be this enjoyable. Whenev…

Given the involvement of Sir Lewis Hamilton and F1 expert Ian Holmes, it's safe to say this is about as genuine a portrayal of Formula 1 as you’re likely to find. The story centers on team owner “Ruben” (Javier Bardem), whose struggling racing operation faces financial ruin. His last hope rests with rookie driver "Joshua" (Damson Idris), who lacks the experience needed to turn things around. To get back on track, Rub…

It's difficult to find much to critique about this film; it was exceptionally good. Even if Formula 1 racing isn’t your thing but you enjoy competitive events in general, I suggest checking it out. Usually, I struggle to focus on longer videos without multitasking, but I found myself completely engrossed from beginning to end, with no urge to do anything else or even check my phone. For those who have already seen th…

This film is an impressive feat of technical artistry and sensory engagement, delivering a truly immersive experience that places audiences directly within the intense world of Formula 1 racing. While the storyline occasionally falters and follows a predictable path, Joseph Kosinski’s inventive approach, combined with Hans Zimmer's dynamic musical score and strong performances from everyone involved, elevates it t…

This film really delivers on its promise of being a big spectacle. While the plot points are fairly easy to anticipate, and it does run longer than necessary, it remains engaging throughout because of Brad Pitt’s presence.

Joseph Kosinski delivers some truly exciting race scenes in this sports drama, accompanied by a powerful musical score from Hans Zimmer, and the movie benefits from strong performances by both Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem. I'm not typically drawn to racing movies, but this one proved to be quite good. **4.0/5**
