# F1 (2025)

Sep 8, 2025 | Rated 2.5 out of 5 | Dir. Joseph Kosinski

This movie just felt like a 2 1/2 hour long commercial for Americans about how cool F1 racing is. And frankly, I’m not buying it.

Don’t get me wrong, this movie looked very expensive, and was very slick. But with all the similarities to top gun: Maverick, this just was not as fun.
