F1 The Movie

[NSXR]

Just here to say that I thought the movie was very well done, and enjoyed all the cameos as well.

My wife and I went yesterday to see it in imax before we can buy it to watch at home. It was fun. Of course you can find things that aren’t realistic but I don’t want to ruin the movie for anyone. It has a very high rotten tomatoes score too.

Watched it in imax. Very tight movie. No lag /boring areas. The visuals and audio were top notch. It had a feel good factor. The actors did their roles very well. Enjoyed every minute.

Saw the movie Saturday night with my wife. We thought it was an enjoyable movie. Don't want to give too much away and ruin it for others.

My wife & I saw it Fri at the Udvar-Hazy Center in northern VA - largest IMAX screen in the area! She knows a bit about F1 so recognized some the drivers/team members. Very enjoyable. It's a movie, not a documentary.

Is it a totally non realistic movie where the races are close? Ba ha ha. Cause that would just be a cartoon then if they are photo finishes Typical F-1 weekend. Top 7 qualify within hundredths of a second and then the guy wins by 45 seconds in front of second and 3 minutes in front of 7th

My favorite theater by far!

I look forward to it hitting Apple TV.

Me too, can’t preorder yet.

Loved it. 100% worth the trip to the theater. See it on the biggest screen and let it take you for a ride.

I was going to wait for it to land on AppleTV but my wife has us booked to watch it this weekend. Not so much because it's an F1 movie but because she watches any movie with Brad Pitt in it.

I'm glad to see the early reviews aren't entirely negative.

Don't even look at the reviews.

With as much money as they threw at this movie it was always going to be a winner, even if it had a weak premise. It's "Rush" and "Ford vs Ferrari" level, and that's saying something.

I went last Saturday night with my wife and the four others we travel to watch F1's with.

As an avid F1 fan you have to forget what you know about the actual racing as what happens is simply not plausible!

As a piece of entertainment it was very good and well worth going to see on the big screen.

Out of the six of us five really enjoyed it, but one of the guys must have thought he was going to see a documentary as he hated it.

So, go in with the mindset it is entertainment and you will be entertained.

Brad is so dreamy as well

I'm sure as a movie it's fine, but I'm somewhat old school when it comes to F1 and it's a real shame what Liberty Media has done to it. They've completely whored it out. I don't plan on going to see the movie, but I don't have any issue with those that do.

This film is simply amazing. I wasn't sure what to expect and loved it. It has great cinematography, great actors, a fantastic soundtrack.

I dont care for F1 racing. I only ever watched BTCC from 1994 to 2000. That's my favorite race series.

F1 is my second favorite race movie behind Grand Prix. If you loved F1 then you should watch Grand Prix.
I also love going to the movies though. We watched F1 in a regular theater, going back tomorrow to watch it in IMAX.

Watch the Senna movie, that is so well done.

I really enjoyed it. Sort of Top Gun for F1. Very entertaining and the action sequences are so well done.

I got a picture with Sonny’s car on my recent US trip. Pretty cool.

Senna just leaves you speechless. F1 is a guilty pleasure.

Rush is a great film as well, IMO. Worth checking out for sure.

[NickyC]

Rush too! Can’t believe I forgot that one, thanks!

Senna is just such a different kind of movie. Asif Kapadia is a true genius documentary maker - such a haunting production. You can’t watch that film without feeling a deep loss at the end of it.

Looking forward to checking out F1, but I’m expecting more Top Gun than Senna.

So, I guess I should have posted this earlier, but these are really my top 3 modern racing movies.
