Now, my headline may imply that I didn’t enjoy this movie, but that’s not the case. I enjoyed this film. I feel that the writing involved is familiar and redundant. That said, director Joseph Kosinski and his crew deliver a summer sports flick that has plenty of great cinematography, superb sound, and charismatic characters who… Continue reading Movie Review: F1: THE MOVIE Is An Audio-Visual Experience That Has A Familiar Story
