F1 - THE MOVIE (ENGLISH) (2025)

F1 - The Movie follows the classic movie template of maverick washed out "star that never was" coming back to the arena for a last hurrah and juxtaposes him with a young, cocky rookie who is yet to prove his mettle, as they are forced to work together for  a team that is scrapping at the bottom of the charts. 

Yet, despite the dead-beat predictability of the premise, director Joseph Kosinski, who delighted us with his last feature - (another retelling of a classic - Top Gun : Maverick) - creates movie magic by brilliantly harnessing the charm quotient of Brad Pitt along with a stellar supporting cast that includes Javier Bardem & Kerry Condon. 

The racing sequences come alive on the big screen and even someone like me, who has never had any interest in the sport, could feel the rush of adrenaline as the mean machines whizz past on the tracks.

RATING - 3.5/5

A HELL OF A RIDE ! (Best enjoyed on an IMAX)
