F1 (9.3/10)

I’m glad I caught this in IMAX before it left theaters. The rumbling of the cars and high-speed racing really came alive on the big screen, making it worth the theater experience. Brad Pitt delivered a strong performance, though I thought Damson Idris stood out even more. Javier Bardem had a solid role that he handled well. While the ending was easy to predict within the first 15 minutes, the journey in between was still engaging. It even made me consider giving Formula 1 a shot, a sport I haven’t really followed before. "In the 1990s, Sonny Hayes was Formula 1's most promising driver until an accident nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, the owner of a struggling F1 team convinces Sonny to return to racing. Teaming up with a hotshot rookie, Sonny discovers that the road to redemption isn’t one you can travel alone."
