A ★★★★½ review of F1 (2025)
letterboxd.com
F1 isn’t just a pit stop for Formula 1 obsessives—it’s a roaring, high-octane rush. Forget gripes about accuracy; this is pure cinema, pulsing with dazzling race sequences, electric performances from Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, and visuals that outpace even its Top Gun: Maverick pedigree. I came in a casual fan and left wanting to see a real race—if that’s not movie magic, what is?

    I watched in on IMAX and it was entertaining. Some parts drag on and the movie doesn’t need to be that long.

    Also, I had to wear earplugs the entire time.

      The story was typical Bruckheimer fluff but the racing scenes got my adrenaline going. Perfect movie to watch in imax. It made me wonder what it would feel like with a higher framerate. It was distracting in the hobbit but I think it would’ve really enhanced the action in this movie.

    I thought it was pretty good. It was also a somewhat realistic depiction of F1 (as much as a mainstream racing movie can be realistic) and they integrated some well known moments from F1 history.
