| 01.11.26 | Internet | I don't really know why I watched this. I suppose it was to see what fancy photography they managed in the F1 car similar to the fighter jets in Top Gun: Maverick. Those shots were pretty cool and I like Kerry Condon and seeing the glitz and money involved in the track locations is dazzling. The shots with fireworks going off and reflecting and bouncing off the cars was probably the coolest part of the movie for me. Everything else I didn't like. The story's every tired bullshit trope jammed together. Brad Pitt's also looking... kinda old in this, for the first time ever. He's still got his shirt off and everything and he's supposed to be playing an older has-been taking his second chance but I didn't really feel his performance here, or anyone else's for that matter. And it's weird using the brand in the title and they clearly leveraged that support into access and I guess cameos from real drivers or whatever but they also have to throw in these complimentary lines and stuff that makes the whole movie feel more like a commercial than the Lego movie did. Granted, I'm not into F1. I don't watch the netflix show or know anyone or anything about it except names like Hamilton and Verstappen, whoever's been on Hot Ones. I'm sure Brad Pitt had fun driving the cars and the cameras show that he is, or at least the little smushed section of his face is in the helmet. So maybe this is for somebody just not me. I did like the first hour more than the second or the last half hour. Nice use of Led Zeppelin right at the beginning. I can give it that. |
