‘F1’ Movie Review: With a view with Vipid Vroom of Brad Pitt

I am sitting through enough summer movies to know when I am trying to show, and F1 It also does not pretend to play well. It closes things with a package filled with a package filled with a raising engine, shiny chrome, and a large, sweat withdrawal with a large, sweat, before you also keep a crack on your popcorn. It has found a Brad Pitt behind the wheel, talking as a former racing star with its best -weather rebel, which has spent flowing between racetrak and poor life options over the last few decades, and looks honestly.

The film closes with Pitt and slips in a race car as it is from birth every morning, the camera swoops around it like a music video. Tires scream, lead zeppelin blares, and for a brief, luxurious moment, you probably will believe, Cinema is far behind,

Directed by Joseph Kosinski – Joe, Fresh Closure Top Gun: MavricApparently is still a thing for fast growing vehicles and beautiful, semi-naked men- F1 Slices are thundering, and 2022 brings similar sensory maximumism to the summer sensation. Realism is intoxicating, almost suffocated. You can smell the burning rubber and hear the tricks of tire changes, but what you rarely catch is the story traction. It wants you feel Things, such as amazement and apathy and some kind of rugged masculine glory and other occasions are suffering. But this is a very expensive looking way to see most cars, really going to really fast.

Pitt’s Lconic X-Champ Sunny Hes is thrown out of semi-retirement, which helps to fulfill a flounding team to complete the Cockey Hotshot Joshua Pears (played by a swagging Demson Idris) and completely irrelevant. A token love interest (engineer played by Kerry Condon but played by the game), is in love with the owner of a gruff team (doing Xavier Bardem, Bardem Things), and a handful of pit crews are sufficient to avoid coming in the bus. You have seen this story before – in Ford V Ferrari, rush, Thunder, speed RacerAnd about a dozen sports movies that swear that they are just more than the game – just never on IMAX with Dolby Atmos.

Sure, the racing sequence looks fantastic. Kosinski films him with a loving intensity that makes you feel that you are in the cockpit, especially during those rare moments when the film stops cutting every half second and lets you move. You feel stressed, threatened, the beauty of threading a car at a speed of 250 mph, and all this footage is definitely impressive in its instability; But the technical talent of these scenes soon starts blurred together. The irony is that despite filming in the actual grand pricks and embedding its actors deeply in the world, Kosiski’s film feels away from curiosity.

After a while, it is difficult to tell a track from the next, or why this lap is more than the final. The race does not make any value, as much as the formula is lying on the thick with exposure commentary. Each race is recited like a highlight reel for F1 Nobs, leveling stress with intrusion play-by-play (“Sunny’s last place! It’s not great for Apxgp!”

The script of Aren Kruger is pressurized in a wind tunnel until any kind of nuances cleaned. Everyone talks like they are in a nike advertisement. At one point, someone really says, “Sometimes when you lose, you win,” which, spoiled: meaning nothing.

The thing is that F1 It is never really boring. It is loud and fun, like that ‘I-CAN’T-Hear-My-Own-Thoughts’. It is shiny and confident and clearly manufactured by those who know how to place on a show. If you just want to see grand cars fast while smoldering Brad Pit under a racing helmet, then you will get exactly the same. IMAX Sound Design practically CPR on your ribbacks, Hans Zimmer’s Cinthi Challengers-Shelles are kicks like caffeine, and you will flow into immersion, even if your brain examines.

What is disappointing that it can happen so Too much. There was everything in this thing – access to the real F1 race, cameo from real drivers, a budget to pave a big budget to each other Monaco – and somehow, it still seems to be on the smoke.

Nevertheless, for all wheels, F1 There is no total accident. It really wants to dazzle and distribute on summer blockbuster promise RogueAnd for some time, this ambition is fun to see. You gravitas of the pit, the charisma of the Idris and the dry intellect of the condon hold the glow of some rich in the wisdom. Even the arc of Hayes has an intimate story outline, just chasing one last lap as a washout to re -feel itself. But these are sketches, not the portrait, whenever another pair of Airpods Max or another pair of sponsor deales demands screen time.

F1 A racing film has a different animal. It wants to burn some rubber and looks good to do it, but once the dust freezes and the zimmer stops sharpening your spine, it is just a turbocharged two-and-a-half-hour win.

F1 is currently running in theaters
