Director Joseph Kosinski has once again proven his blockbuster chops with F1, a high-octane film that rivals his 2022 hit Top Gun: Maverick. While its critic score falls short of Top Gun’s impressive 96%, its audience score is remarkably close at 98%. The movie follows Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a former Formula 1 phenom who returns to the sport for one last shot at redemption.
F1 boasts an all-star cast, including Javier Bardem and Damson Idris. Bardem plays Ruben Cervantes, the owner of a struggling F1 team that Sonny agrees to join in order to save it. As the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him, making every teammate his fiercest competition.
The film has garnered widespread critical acclaim, with many praising its high-energy action sequences and engaging storyline. While it faces some competition from How to Train Your Dragon: The Rise of Draco Redding, F1 is still an exciting must-see for fans of the genre. With a phenomenal 97% audience score and A-rated Cinemascore, it’s clear that this film has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide.
Interestingly, director Kosinski has already hinted at working on a sequel to Top Gun, stating there’s “still more story to tell.” However, for now, F1 stands as a standalone triumph.
