meh. so niche, why would anyone not into f1 care about this movie
Idk if you’re seriously asking, but, as someone who doesn’t even have a casual interest in motorsports, I’ll answer:
- I like Brad Pitt
- I like the archetypical structure of sports movies
- The director did the new Top Gun, and I thought that the plane action in that was well-done, so I imagine the driving portions here will be equally thrilling.
Like, yeah it’s a niche sport, but look at Moneyball, another highly specific sports movie starring Brad Pitt. Hell, that movie is as much about statistics and sports finance as it is about baseball, and I still think it’s the best “sports” movie of the past 25 years. And I have even LESS interest in baseball than I do Formula 1.
this is fair, good points. for me brad isnt enough to pull me in, and i hate these types of sports movies. the trailer just seemed so… silly.
top gun 2 was mediocre. it just didnt have the character draw from the first one (maybe its just nostalgia). im glad i saw it, but it has the rewatchability of schindlers list.
