F1: The Movie
A veteran driver, considered by many to be washed-up, returns to action alongside a promising young rookie. The director of Top Gun: Maverick is back, this time with Brad Pitt in the lead role. Is it worth your attention? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yh9BPUBbbQ

-
Brad Pitt is a true superstar and proves it here once again. Simple, direct, grounded—he delivers a performance that feels effortlessly flawless.
-
Great directing and excellent pacing. At 2.5 hours long, the film never drags.
-
Javier Bardem is also very good, and his chemistry with Pitt really works.
-
Overall, the acting is consistently strong across the board.
-
The racing scenes are thrilling, and I think Formula 1 fans especially will love them.
-
The sound design is also outstanding (granted, I watched it on an IMAX screen 😅).
-
This is the definition of a blockbuster.
-
The soundtrack is fantastic and really adds to the experience.
-
It’s pure fun from start to finish.
-
From a technical standpoint, F1 is crafted to perfection.
-
Nice touches of humor at just the right moments.

-
The script, while not bothersome, is simple and comes with the usual clichés of the genre.
-
Cutting about 20 minutes from the runtime might have made it tighter—though it never feels boring.
-
Predictable ending
Old Guard 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyivgZ074PY Andy and her team are called to face a new global threat, while the past returns in the form of Quynh – a former comrade they all thought dead. Her comeback sparks conflict, betrayal, and long-buried secrets that threaten to tear the group apart. In the end, the immortals are forced to reconsider their place in the world and confront the ultimate question: is eternal life really worth it? Is the sequel worth it? I’d say it’s rather average!

-
Charlize Theron is Charlize Theron—I love her in anything, a genuine action star.
-
Nice locations across different parts of the world.
-
Strong opening action sequence.
-
Uma Thurman wielding a katana again is always a plus.
-
Henry Golding was a highlight, bringing some extra energy, and there was even a small twist.
-
The Andy vs. Quynh fight sequence was well-choreographed.

-
Some effects look a bit clumsy.
-
The script doesn’t develop the story as much as it should—in fact, I’d say it’s weaker than the first film and fairly predictable.
-
Basic, uninspired direction.
-
Ambiguous ending.
-
Without spoiling, it feels like an unfinished movie, as it sets up for yet another sequel.
-
The subplot with Charlize’s friend isn’t really developed—probably left for the next installment.
-
Uma Thurman is somewhat underutilized, maybe intentionally, but to me the role felt poorly written.
