Excited by Brad pits last Apple TV movie…. before they put Wolfs on digital release. We’re back with F1, a jam packed emotional roller coaster of character growth and insane journey for the APX GP team. So what did I think? Let’s Discuss shall we.
Ruben Carvantes (Played by Javier Bardem) long time friend in this career to Sonny Hayes (Played by Brad Pitt). Has visited Sonny to recruit him to be a partner driver alongside his rookie Joshua Pearce (Played by Damson Idris) for their failing team APX GP. Half way through the season and cant keep their second racer and at risk of loosing their jobs. Sonny Hayes is here to save the day?
There’s great performances from the entire crew. I loved the emotional journey from each of these racers along with the overall team. I wish we had longer with some of the other characters but they managed to have a relationship for Kate (Played by Kerry Condon) in this movie while leaving Jodie (Played by Callie Cooke) to have some scenes but I’d loved to have explored more without going into spoilers.
For someone not into Formula 1, this movie does it right. The action, sound & Music, come together and create a edge of your seat experience where the entire audience was leaned into the theatre screen awaiting outcomes and verdicts. It was such an experience where I was back and forth on 8.5 or 9/10. This is a movie to check out on the biggest screen. Not only filmed in IMAX but just the visuals and shots in F1 were a visual spectacular to behold.
Let me know what you thought of F1 but I’m locking this title in as a weaker 9/10 for Popped. blog score. 😀 What more surprises will we have coming this year? We sure are filling up the top 10 list. Will Smurfs continue this 7+ /10 craze or end the streak to be saved by Fab 4 / Bad Guys 2 ? Only time will have to tell.
Thank you all for coming by Popped. blog for your movie “Reviews”. Happy movie going out there and enjoy your epic weekend of movie releases, M3gan 2.0 & F1 are here but did anyone check out Hot Milk? RT has it at 29% from critics but no general audience yet. Is this a job for Popped? 😀
See you next batch!
Popped!
