F1: Le film

As a longtime F1 fan, F1: The Movie completely blew me away. From the very first scene, you can tell this was made to be watched in a theater - it's loud, fast, emotional, and immersive in all the right ways.

The cinematography is stunning - easily the best I've seen in a racing film since Rush, maybe even since Top Gun: Maverick. The sound design and musical score elevate every race scene to something visceral and epic. I genuinely got chills more than once.

Sure, there are a few moments that feel a bit cliché or unrealistic, especially if you're deeply familiar with the world of Formula 1. But the film's technical brilliance and emotional punch more than make up for that.

In short: this movie is a love letter to F1 and to cinema itself. Whether you're a hardcore motorsport fan or just looking for an intense, high-octane story - you'll be in for a ride.

The way the movie was shot is magnificent. Brad Pitt is magnificent too. The problem is racing. The whole movie is like superb until they start racing. The endurance race at the beginning, the way Sonny is convinced to join to the APX team, the first test and the rivalry between the two drivers are all very well made. Unfortunately when they actively start to race the movie falls apart. Sonny constantly makes moves that you couldn't have ever seen ever from any driver before. Not to mention the car upgrades. One single update makes the worst car on the grid capable of winning. TBH if you follow F1 you simply can't enjoy this dumb portrayal of the sport. Once again Pitt still rocks 🔥

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.

Visually en auditory the race sequences are absolutely stunning, but the story, the plot and dialogue in general are just horrible and generic.

It makes F1 look like an absolute joke, like just anyone can drive these cars. This supposedly 60 y/o guy can still beat these young athletes who have trained their whole lives for this sport. It just deminishes their accomplishments and hard work.

Also, he can just break every rule when it comes to racing and get away with it. It makes F1 look like a clown show. Weird that f1 approved this.

The only thing I liked were the racing and some funny F1 references. Although, the racing strategies were just utterly bizarre, it was still a decent watch.

Disgraceful to the sport, wouldn't recommend if you're not into motorsport.
