  • let me start with my rating: 8 out of 10.

    we saw the film on opening day, and the theater was about 85 percent full. apple went all in on this one. you can feel that massive 300 million dollar budget throughout the film. the racing scenes are absolutely stunning. outside the races, though, some parts felt a bit cliche and surface-level.

    brad pitt, on the other hand, doesn't seem to age at all. it's honestly impressive. the high-energy race scenes gave me a bit of a headache afterward, but i was fully engaged for the entire two and a half hours and never got bored.

    i'm not sure what kind of deal apple has with formula 1, but with a film like this, it's pretty clear that f1's growing popularity in the u.s. is only going to keep rising. i wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing apple and formula 1 show up together a lot more often in the future.
