Until a few years ago, Formula 1, Formula 1, was a big deal in Finland. Since then, Finns’ enthusiasm for formulas has fallen, but you can still expect an interest to a formula movie here as well.
And yes the big movie F1 Serves with big money and professional action -packed action scenes from the formulas around the world. It is regrettable that cinematic F1 It’s a pretty valid work. Most of the time the movie seems as if it would be an advertisement for the F1 circus. Of course, without cooperation with the F1 organization, it would be impossible to make a movie of this size.
The film has been filmed around the world with the real Formula 1 races and is accompanied by genuine formula stars. The film’s producer guard is one of the Brad Pitt Along with F1 driver Lewis Hamilton.
With the support of the formula world, the film has looked extremely fine and genuine, but according to the familiar faces and brands, stinging, and especially the strenuous F1, constantly transform the atmosphere into a cornion.
In the film, Brad Pitt presents the former formula driver Sonny Hayes, who has drifted into the sidelines in his life. However, he still gets his friend Ruben Cervantes (always excellent Javier Bardem) One more chance to return to the Formula 1 world. An elderly Sonny is Ruben’s last chance to save her badly in trouble.
Joshua (Damson Idris) as well as the Talli Top Engineer Kate, presented by a brilliant Irish character actress Kerry Condon.
F1 It has been guided in a stylish way and the money invested in it is also visible on the screen. Joseph Kosinskin Previous steering work includes, among other things, a fighter film Top Gun: Maverickso it was expected that this time there was no tension in the action scenes.
However, there is one thing in the movie that annoys over everything. Whenever it starts to feel like this can develop into a pretty good movie, the film sabotages itself in some incredible way: a foolish plot, cliché dialogue, an artificial conflict, or an unbelievable romance.
The best thing about the movie is the fast-paced and exciting racing scenes, and of course, the professional acting of two Oscar-winning star Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem. Of course, Brad Pitt is leading a similar heroic role that has been used to see many times in the past – including his familiar maneers. But if the film’s advertising is ready to forgive and forget the stupidity of the script, then this is the opportunity to enjoy a pure action entertainment where the angry men take each other in the wheel of fast cars and sometimes outside the racetrack.
F1 premiered in Finland on Wednesday, June 25, 2025.
