“A vanity project of $ 300 million for Formula 1 which is not well through sport”
With Top Gun: Maverickfilmmaker Joseph Kosinski made a statement. The film was the second most profitable release of 2022, beaten only by Avatar: Water path. He exceeded the franchises of popular superheroes like Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness,, Black Panther: Wakanda forever,, BatmanAnd Thor: Love and thunderAn impressive feat. It is therefore not surprising that there was so much excitement to see what would happen when the filmmaker took Top Gun: MaverickThe action at Haute Octane is and mixed it with the exciting world of Formula 1 in F1: the film. It is undeniable that it is an impressive technical achievement, but if you are a Formula 1 fan, it could just as easily be a comedy.
On his credit, F1: the film try to explain his shortcomings by playing quickly and by loosening with the world of F1. For example, when Sonny Hayes de Brad Pitt misses practice and qualifications, he goes to the back of the grid … In reality, he would not have been allowed to run. More blatant, this is what happens during the return of Hayes, where he cheats and commits so many ridiculous movements at the wheel – crush his car and deliberately slow down the other drivers – he would have been disqualified and probably prohibited from the sport immediately (and say that this film, because the constraints are not a necessary license – as a driver in the end of the 50s, a car F1). It’s just stupid and looks like someone who makes a film on American football when he only watched English rugby. With a stronger script, F1: the film Could have been anchored in reality and having found ways to add enough drama to do more than you can see on television most Sundays.
Aaaaand now, I guess we have lost many of you. Again, if you don’t look at Formula 1, then you probably don’t worry that this film plays quickly and loose with rules that you have no stake or interest. However, as it is an “official” F1 film, it should have done better and finally look like a 150 -minute and gay advertisement This dramatic. Alas, Formula 1 is not WWE, and the masterful victory of Max Verstappen Brazil 2024 which saw it from 17 to 1st in torrential rain will be more exciting and convincing than this artificial and exaggerated nonsense. The fact is that even if realism does not matter for you, F1: the film Has a story of cookie about a chance to make a comeback, while facing a head recruit that seeks to prove itself. It offers the public anything new or from a distance, and Ron Howard Rushing– The real story of the rivalry of James Hunt and Niki Lauda – is an infinitely better watch.
From a technical point of view, F1: the film is impressive and the work of the camera is revolutionary. He is a little later in the film, but Kosinski finds innovative ways to take action on track, and there are a lot of exciting moments. Back to F1 fans for a while, and there are cameos and Easter eggs in Gogo, even if it is obvious that the real pilots (outside the executive producer Lewis Hamilton) wanted to do with this Hollywoodization of their sport. It is fun to see the Verstappen always dominant Wow Hayes, and a treat when moments of real breeds are incorporated into history. Guenther Steiner, if you read this, you stole the show. As indicated, the story of the film does not deliver anything that we have never seen before, but if you are investing in what is going on on the screen, it is likely that you have the air of joy when it ends. Or, and not to believe the point, the frustration if you are an F1 fan (the edition is also poor, the APX cars apparently remote from the back to the front).
This is Pitt’s film and his return to be a leading man in a big budget project. It is well in the role, but not too credible and appears very guince in the times when he is clearly supposed to deliver a Rah-Rah and inspiring line. Damson Idris is better, but to keep this film of comics relevant for a second, is it Black Panther equipment? The jury came out. For Javier Bardem, we are almost sure that it was only a pay check, and it’s really a shame to see the excellent technical director of Kerry Condon in a sport where women finally make progress … and be almost immediately relegated to love the status of interest. What a waste. The support casting is struggling with shots and stereotypes, so they do not justify any mention.
Maybe F1: the film The potential of being an excellent summer blockbuster, but it will be non-fauns to decide if it is. He sometimes takes you to a territory on the edge of your seat and sometimes even inspiring to watch Sonny and the reached Joshua Pearce fighting on the right track, but that strikes too many familiar beats so as not to leave with the feeling that we saw everything before. Pitt seems desperate to prove to the world that he has always “he” as a leading man, and Kosinski can only count as much on technical achievements before he becomes obvious that he has trouble getting what he needs his actors and is not the strongest filmmaker with regard to narration. It is a global disappointing experience with a potentially dividing end, and one that opens the way to Jurassic World Rebirth And Superman To be the films that launch the second half of the summer blockbuster season in a true style.
A vanity project of $ 300 million for Formula 1 which does not do the good of sport or his fans, he finally falls into too many familiar signs to be more than another racing film. Make a favor and look at the Austrian Grand Prix this weekend instead. [⭐]
