F1 (2025)
Directed by Joseph Kosinski
[Rated PG-13] 2hr 35min
★★★★
F1 is an action sports drama about an experienced racing driver who returns to Formula One in order to help an old friend’s struggling team. However, the driver and his rookie teammate don’t get along at all, which causes tension for the team both on and off the track, thus jeopardizing their own careers as well as the entire team’s future.
This is an exciting movie with incredible racing action. The fantastic cinematography, sound design, and editing all contribute to making every racing scene highly riveting and intense. The pacing is also excellent, as the entire film flows effortlessly together and makes the runtime fly by. The story itself isn’t anything special, but it still manages to be very compelling despite the many tropes it contains. Since the racing scenes are the main focus of the film, the story does a good job at tying them all together into a cohesive narrative that effectively heightens their emotional value and the overall excitement of watching them.
I recommend F1 to anyone who enjoys sports movies or thrilling blockbusters. The action is so engaging that even non-sports fans such as myself can have a great time. Every race in the film is spectacular, and they make the film worth watching on the largest screen possible.
F1 is now playing in theaters. Click here to watch the Official Trailer.
