It required you to suspend some belief at times (rules wise), but genuinely doesn't need to be that realistic when the actual film making was that high level and fun in the racing scenes, it made you super invested to every shot and turn. Really well shot and done.


The plot isn't new, tho I liked how they used actual races and drivers fates as bases for several of them, mixed and matched a bit.


Tho only weak point of it all was the love interest story, but they didn't dwell on it, and both characters were likeable, so it's no big deal (it's contractual in movies like this). It didn't feel that cliche, more genuine. Only scene that felt cliche was the poker scene really.



I seen rush many years ago, and I definitely think this was better for sure. The actual racing scenes is so high level. Other movies may have better plot etc, but these super tense racing scenes carried the movie.

Its basically Maverick top gun (2nd one) but for racing (And maverick is super fun experience). Because the action scenes were peak. Which makes sense, because they said they consulted Tom Cruise for how to do the races, and The perfectionist daredevil told them to film it like this, exactly how it was in Maverick.

I watched The Master. The movie itself has some badass acting. Phoenix was literally shining throughout the movie and I think it was one of his best roles. However, Anderson did not convince me there. It was filmed pretty neatly but it was just lacking something. I found it to be quite boring in some parts and to lack purpose.

The Royal Tenebaums was pretty much average imo. I absolutely adore Wes Anderson's style and unique mark he's leaving. The color pallet is beautiful as always. I find it quite remarkable how after watching 10 seconds you know it's his film. In my opinion it's The Grand Budapest Hotel as his best piece where everything came into its place.

I also watched Volver recently and I really enjoyed that one. I can also praise Almodovar and his unique approach and more calm color pallet. Like always, it's his red color that marks the movie. It's funny how his films are also very unique and weird but in a good way. It was very pleasing and fun to watch. Oh and I'd totally bang Penelope in that period. Hot as hell.

I URGE everyone reading this to immediately watch the F1 movie soonest you can.



The absolute best sports movie. Technically made and perfectly paced and filmed, like you in an actual race throughout.
Really? … I don’t know. I haven’t seen it yet but really? Maybe I’ll check it out. “Best sports movie” Better than Raging Bull? Any Given Sunday? League of their own? He got game? Rudy? Etc.

For race movie, maybe it’s better than “Days of Thunder” and “Driven” with Sylvester Stallone? Surely it can’t be better than “Rush” with Nikki Lauda’s unfortunate incident in green hell and James Hunt’s cunning ambition, intrepid attempts of reaching the top of the drivers championship.

Wasn’t really interested when I saw the trailer, I’m a big fan of F1 as well. Just haven’t been a fan as of late with the way things have been with current campaign. Then when I saw that Brad Pitt was in it, I sighed at Hollywood a little bit. I’m a big fan of Brad Pitt too but I just couldn’t buy into it when he showed up for this one.

I guess I’ll reserve my judgement and check out this cinema film. Thanks.
