F1 is good. Other than Brad Pitt's overabundance of gold chains and chest hair, the visuals were great, and the movie had a good, believable plot. 8/10.

Fuck this trailer. Book is worth reading, movie might be good. Trailer gives away too much

I disagree....the story line is huge....I see them being up front on the info, the best part is the interaction with him and the alien, and what happens after...that's the real story...IMHO

It is such a surprise in the book.

Maybe you know this, but a lot of the on track stuff was either done with F2 cars made to look like F1 cars or with real footage covered over by authentic liveries in post production. Major crash scenes are real crashes, again with the liveries modified during post. In at least one instance Ferrari has both 23 and 24 liveries in the movie, but only nerds would spot that one.

I haven't seen the movie, but I've seen a few reviews. There are some outright impossible plot points, but its also a movie. There are also some accusations Lewis Hamilton used it to subtlety settle a few scores or present his side of a story or two. I find that last bit hilarious because it is pretty on brand for him.

Sure, but for a movie, I didn't notice anything completely ridiculous except some disregarding of the rules. That shit happens in every racing movie, but isn't plausible in any major series these days.

Totally agree. I liken the movie to the gateway drug you need to pull people into DTS so you can then pull them into actual racing.

They could have left Rocky out of it. I still watch the Martian every time I see it on tv, so I'm hoping they do a great job with PHM.
