    With Sir Lewis Hamilton and F1 media veteran Ian Holmes amongst those at the helm of this production, you can be certain that it’s going to be as an authentic story of all things F1 (can’t be bothered finding the trademark symbol) as you’re ever likely to see. It’s all about team “Ruben” (Javier Bardem) whose cars couldn’t beat an egg and so is looking at ending up broke! His remaining driver is British rookie …

    I am so glad I'm F1 illiterate. Even though I know basically nothing about this sport, I can still feel how unrealistic everything is. The opening scene had me going, "Yeah right. Calm down already." But really, it doesn't matter. This has the hallmarks of producer Jerry Bruckheimer, it's dumb and it's fun. It has to be somewhat dumb to be this much fun. Everytime there was a reference made to the '90s, I couldn't …

    A true blockbuster! Although predictable, and a little long, the movie works from start to finish as Brad Pitt brings major star power.

How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 25 of the 29 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post). A second AI pass checked every statement against the posts it cites; anything it could not match was removed, and code removed any statement with quotation marks, numbers that are not in the posts, or unattributed claims about people. The split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Generated Oct 10, 2026. Method

Critics, per Wikipedia

F1 has grossed $189.6 million in the United States and Canada, and $444.5 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $634.1 million. Opening to $146.3 million worldwide, the film is considered to be Apple's first box office hit, and the first film from the studio to top the box office on its opening weekend. It surpassed $200 million in its second weekend. In early August, it became the highest-grossing Brad Pitt film in history, surpassing the $540 million theatrical run of World War Z (2013). In September 2025, Variety reported the film was expected to make a theatrical profit of around $34 million. In the United States and Canada, F1 was released alongside M3GAN 2.0, and was…

    I could beat around the bush about this one, but I won’t: If you’re looking for innocuous, mindless entertainment lacking in substance and riddled with clichés and implausibilities, all supported by admittedly impressive action-adventure cinematography, then this is the movie for you. Writer-director Joseph Kosinski has yet again created a picture that’s the perfect choice for those times when you just want to kick back, turn your brain off and let your consciousness be nurtured on a…

    There is no need to say a lot about the movie, it was very very very nice. If you don't care about F1 but just casually like any competition just give it a go. It is really hard for me to watch a longer video without doing something else too but I watched the entire length of this movie without thinking anything about doing something else or eat or touching my phone. Some more thoughts if you already watched the movie and just want to read things others say but you really should not care about:…
