This week, a film that Formula 1 racing fans will love has been released: \"F1: The Movie\".<\/p>\n
I have to confess that the subject matter of this feature film isn't among my cinematic preferences. Personally, I prefer movies about fast vehicles when they have wings<\/strong> (either fixed or rotating), that have a turboprop or jet engine, and that use only the wheels for taxiing, takeoff, and landing.<\/p>\n I went to see this movie because I really like Brad Pitt, the lead actor<\/strong>, and because I found the subject matter entertaining, and you can rarely ask for more from summer movie releases. All in all, the movie is much better than I expected<\/strong>, especially as a person who doesn't know much about Formula 1. The tactics and strategies used in the races seemed very interesting to me<\/strong>, and the level of technology used in these cars seems so impressive that it's quite close to what you'd see in a Eurofighter or an F\/A-18 Hornet.<\/p>\n The director of this film is American Joseph Kosinski<\/strong>, who has already directed some films that I have enjoyed, such as \"Tron: Legacy\" (2010), \"Oblivion\" (2013) and \"Top Gun: Maverick\" (2022). In addition, he is preparing with Disney a new version of a science fiction classic that I love: \"The Black Hole\" (1979).<\/p>\n In the film, some famous Formula 1 drivers make small cameos<\/strong>, including two Spaniards, Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz Jr. It's especially interesting that, apart from the main team, which is invented, real racing teams appear in the film,<\/strong> which gives the story more authenticity. As an incentive for aviation buffs like me, I must add that the RAF Red Arrows<\/strong> also appear in the film with their BAE Hawk training aircraft, and the UAE Air Force's Fursan Al Emarat team<\/strong> with their Aermacchi MB-339NATs. I've had my fair share of planes, so I can't complain.<\/p>\n I highly recommend this film to Formula 1 fans<\/strong>; I think you'll love it. In fact, it's been a while since I've seen so many people at the cinema on a Friday afternoon. For everyone else, I'll say it's an entertaining film and I found it short despite its length<\/strong> (156 minutes). I think it's a good opportunity to spend an entertaining summer afternoon at the cinema. Here's the trailer:<\/p>\n
