A cool detail I noticed is when the makers would highlight Jann’s place in the race, the chime would be a PlayStation sound but it gradually changed over time to be more in tune with the racing circuit. I thought that was a nice touch to highlight his transformation from a gamer to a professional racer.

It was definitely intentional to have the Chief Engineer (Harbour) and Mardenborough (Madekwe) have a more intense relationship than with his father. Chief Engineers and their drivers become attached at the hip in motorsports give that the life of the driver really does fall int he Chief Engineer knowing what they are doing and keeping the pit crew in line, also discussing strategy, etc. They also tend to be the ones the fight off people like Orlando Blooms character. You can see this in F1 with Lewis Hamilton, that while he and his dad are VERY close, his attachment to Bono (Chief Engineer) is very much apparent. The creators of this film caught that very well.

[@zanemurcha9742]

Grew up playing Gran Turismo 3 on PS2, I've waited 20 years for this movie. I saw an interview with the director and he said this film was made for the cinema, so I hope that means they still translated the aspects of the game "feeling like you're actually in a race car" onto the screen. Fun Fact: The real Jann Mardenboroh was a stunt driver on this film.

[@newmanboomin5291]

You won’t be disappointed. 11/10 best race film you will ever see especially since you are a gran turismo veteran.

One of the best aspects of this movie is to show how driving a "real" racing car can be physically demanding and exausting. And the fact this is a really dangerous sport, makes the journey of that boy even more compeling to watch.

[@MusicAnirban]

What an incredibly made movie with attention to detail like never before in this genre. People were clapping at the end. Script/editing/Direction/Music/Performances - 10/10

[@VladRSPS]

Best movie of the year top 5 I’ve ever see. Of all time

[@whothebeast666]

Attention to detail was actually abysmal. Here's my list of complaints: - Repetitively stressing that gran Turismo is a simulator not a game (nice try commercial) - characters are so overdramatic about "having blood on their hands" as if sportscar racing is even that dangerous. It was just foreshadowing for the accident that nobody could've seen coming. - his race in GT Academy felt so anticlimactic and he just breezed past 5 drivers in 3 laps without any clip of like him taking a better line or anything. - every single scene, especially the racing scenes are built like an overly dramatic montage or a video game trailer. Absolutely god awful from the perspective of an endurance racing fan and grassroots track day driver myself. - in his first professional race he got by some drivers, was doing well, and then got absolutely punted by the asshole driver. Which is fine, happens all the time in real racing, capa racing team should get a penalty nismo will move on. But no they act like this was a tragedy for Jann and like he made a big mistake? Has this director ever watched a real race? You don't ram other racecar drivers and not get penalized. Sure it's disappointed to fall down the order, but the race proved he had the pace to keep up. - speaking of above, the "villain" is insane and extreme. In real life, he would've lost his license for his driving in Dubai autodrome, but they act like it's just racing. And he definitely wouldn't have been invited to Le Mans. They must have taken cues from romano fenati because there's no way there was a real opponent of Jann that bad. - after his nurburgring crash, they acted like he was in a coma for a while. There's literal footage of him getting out of the car and putting his hands over his head (likely) after realizing the severity of the incident, seconds after crashing. He was absolutely fine. - they featured Anthony Davidson's crash at the end of mulsanne with a Ferrari but pretended it was another guy in an LMP2, instead of the TOYOTA LMP1. They also had it burst in extremely unrelasitic flames for some reason. - he set a lap record?!!? LMFAOO in an LMP2 car?? Obviously the movie was a huge commercial for Nissan, and that's such a disrespect to Toyota. - HUNGARORING instead of Le Mans??? I nearly lost my mind. I understand how difficult it would be to get access to Mulsanne highway for filming, but for god's sake don't just film helicopter shots of an entirely different track for half the movie. - they kinda also acted like he got 3rd overall at Le Mans. His podium was very impressive, but they didn't mention a single thing about the different classes. I would've loved to hear about his ligier LMP2. Then for my car nitpicking - they weren't in GTRs they were in 370z's I believe. Very minor thing though - first professional race included a couple 992 cup cars, a 997 Gt3 R, a Camaro GT4, and a Corvette C8.R (probably fake because they're originally GTE cars and like $2 million). This is supposed to be about 2012/13 half those cars didn't exist - nurburgring race featured a Ford gtlm and Corvette which have never raced at Nurburgring (NLS/VLN) - said Ford gtlm is actually just a modified roadcar version of Ford Gt - villain got in a Koenigsegg gemera at some point and also took a 992 GT3RS right after the accident. Accident happened in 2015. Very frustrating timing.

[@out_spocken]

:-O you're taking the piss aren't you? It's a B grade rip off of Days of Thunder. Some of the SFX are borderline horrid. The acting is meh. The characters are not exciting at all and the 'arch' of the kid is meh. Not to mention it's not even properly based in 'based on' given this is based on the 4th year winner not the first. It lacked real grit. The parent relationship? lol barely there. The brother...barely there. Almost all characters are there just coz and not to really add enough to the movie. Days of Thunder, a movie 30 years old, kills this movie. I get fanboys of the game will love this. But that probably says it all. Could have been amazing..and yet...so much meh it wasn't funny.

[@Kenny-wr3ky]

[@TheChronozoan]

@valentynapasak4647 You should watch District 9. It's still good to this day, although I expect some of the impact could be lessened by his style being known. Back then D9 was so new and fresh compared to most sci-fi fare.

[@Jonathan_Collins]

Neil Blomkamp has always been a promising director and criminally underrated ever since his debut. Glad to see him behind this. I have no doubt he will do a fantastic job.

[@PenguinSebs]

Underrated? District 9 was incredibly well-received since day one and it was immediately a critic and audience favorite, earning 200 million vs a 30 million budget. His issue was releasing a movie that was deeply hated by a lot of the people it tried to represent (Elysium) and a movie that was pretty good but forgettable (Chappy)

[@MadsFeierskov]

District 9 is amazing, Elysium is okay and Chappie is ass. A lot of his short films are great at well, but there is only so much you can do with a short. He definitely has a unique and interesting style that has the potential for greatness, but the consistency doesn't really seem to be there.

[@Skeletal33]

He made a great movie…and then a string of duds.

[@KabbalahSherry]

​​​​​​​​@@PenguinSebs- Why were people upset about Elysium? 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄 Didn't they realize back then that the Rich would 100% leave Earth & hoarde advanced Medical Technology all for themselves like that, if they had some fancy space habitat to live on?! That they would 100% leave everybody else to rot & fight over resources down here on Earth if they could?! For f*cks sakes... they are literally trying to go off planet RIGHT NOW, right in front of all of our faces, to set up an alternate world on Mars! And it's not like IF they can make it happen, they will compassionately allow anybody who wants to go with them to start over, go! lol They would never allow for that - unless they needed a "Servant Class", and that's IT. The wealthy 1% are not interested in fixing the home planet that THEY mostly helped destroy! Instead, they will pool all of their resources to go start over somewhere ELSE... and leave all the rest of Us to slowly perish on a dying Earth. This is already happening, and in the real early stages *IN REAL LIFE* right now! 🥴🌎🚀💰 So I hope that the people who were pissed off about Elysium when it 1st came out for some dumbass reason, have since rethought their feelings. Some of these movies about the future tell a bleak truth about what it will be like for those of Us in the Working or "Middle" Classes. Its not gonna be fair/just, or pretty.

[@unanimousarts]

I like Blomkamp’s films up until Demonic. I think that film was worse than Chappie and truly hit rock bottom. Awaiting his return to form with another gritty sci-fi epic.

[@MichaelVavor]

Glad to see Neill Blomkamp back at it again! Even though not every one of his movies wowed me, his style of filmmaking and his intense vision for science fiction and even horror is honestly top tier in my opinion. He's honestly one of my favorite creatives working today. Definitely going to give this movie a shot.

I really like how the actual person who the main character is portraying is the actor's stunt driver. I personally enjoyed this movie. Upon first hearing about it i was confused as to how they will do a story based movie from a game that has no story up until it was about one of the first GT qualifiers to go pro. I feel like this movie, in terms of the racing aspect, reminded me of the first fast and the furious movie where the camera does that engine view when things start to pick up and that it's about...racing. Something that the "family" forgot was about.

I had and played the first Gran Turismo on Playstation. I was never really into racing games and know NOTHING about cars. But, what I did appreciate about the game was how real it could be. Like adding the wrong parts to a car can SERIOUSLY affect how it runs or handles. A lot of other racing games make it way easier to upgrade. So for that realism, I have always appreciated the game. And the graphics were nice too.

[@benm5970]

Holy shit this movie was incredible, going into it I actually had pretty low expectations because although this is based on a true story when I heard the plot I thought it sounded stupid as hell, but oh my god this movie blew me away, first off I really like the main kid, I think what makes him and his journey so good is that seeing as how this movie is essentially an underdog story the fact that it’s centered around a gamer kid racing in a real race car tournament it adds this extra layer to it being an underdog story because yeah, since he’s just a gamer everyone doubts him and thinks he can’t do it, and what makes it great is that realistically you can totally see where they’re coming from, an idea like this sounds like something that could never work, and so both the supporters and the doubters of it are people you can identify with, I also like how they incorporated the visual style of having the real life racing look like the game to him, it was a great visual representation for how he’s so in tune with the racing, like when you get so in tune with something that you’re doing the entire world just disappears around you and you’re just left with you and the thing you’re focused on, and I like that it’s used pretty sparingly, it’s not like every time he races it always has that style, they still have normal looking racing scenes, which I like, that stuff was cool when it happened but at the same time I’m glad they didn’t overcook it, but the best part of the movie is definitely David Harbour, on top of the great comedic dialogue he has when he’s talking to these kids his arc throughout the movie is amazing, because he goes from this guy who just hates the fact that these kids are even being able to do this to a man who really bonds with the main guy and becomes a real friend to him, the interactions between the 2 of them, especially when he starts to come around to liking him are all fantastic, and man, this movie has some intensity to it as well, there was a huge “Holy shit” moment that happened early in the second act that I was convinced wouldn’t be topped, but then something happens right before the third act and it topped it by a mile, like Jesus Christ it’s heavy, like my heart totally sank when it happened, and considering where our main character is at once it happens it makes it all the more cheer worthy when you see where it all leads, like I quite honestly wanted to stand up and cheer by the end of the movie, all in all I was absolutely floored by this movie, for a movie I had no expectations for whatsoever I was astonished by what I got, the characters are great, the movie had great drama and nail biting suspense and it was so much better than I ever thought it would be. 10/10

[@victorsullivan7238]

Because you mentioned it, I realized how similar the recipe is to Top Gun, which is probably my favorite movie. Main character from against-the-institution background goes to training, competes to be the best, has an accident where someone dies (from which he was cleared of all responsibility), mentor puts him right back 'in the saddle', eventually triumphs to the big victory. All of this woven in with exciting high speed action sequences.

[@out_spocken]

VIc...i'm surprised you'd rate this movie. If Top Gun was your all time fav movie. Surely not far off it is Days of Thunder which i think was a far far far better movie that this movie. Both in characters, dramatics, storyline, character arc, direction, and adrenaline. This movie felt wooden, bland, way too long/or slow, had some horrid sfx, and basically the complete opposite of Days of Thunder. I genuinely couldn't invest int he main character...it just didn't feel 'real'....and it was based on a real story which makes it all that much more unbelievable

This honestly would have been the video game adaptation I would have been looking forward to the most of all the ones we got recently. Being how much the monetization and always online requirement for GT7 ruined the game for me I just can't bring myself to pay to see this movie. I guess at least this will be a good movie for those who do support it and its great that we actually got multiple game based movie and tv projects in a fairly short period of time so maybe the adaptation quality will finally keep an upward trend.

[@johncra8982]

I'm just relieved Oppenheimer isn't losing all its IMAX theaters to this or Blue Beetle 😂

[@HARLEMHEFNER]

Depends where you live. I got tickets for this movie on Saturday for imax

[@FourthStreetSaint]

It depends on the theater. I live In Tennessee and the theaters with 70MM IMAX is still playing Oppenheimer while the ones with digital IMAX is doing Gran Turismo and Blue Beetle

[@joshpaul6417]

why do you get a cut ?

[@KhanMann66]

Lmao no one is watching Blue Beetle.

Very gladly surprised! Go watch it in cinemas, the racing sequences and omg THE SOUND!! Truly a technical masterpiece makes it worth going to the cinemas, believe me

[@timothybenn313]

these are the kind of reviews by you i like

[@Diggy22]

Looking forward to seeing this. As for my favorite Gran Turismo game, it has to be GT3 a-spec. The handling is smooth, the soundtrack still sticks with me (I still think of Judas Priest's "Turbo Lover" whenever I think of GT3), and it's eye-catching enough that I even enjoyed watching the replays of my races.

[@juliancipriani78]

Love your videos Jeremy

[@NN010]

Seems like this is a fun movie. I'll be sure to give it a watch some time. Also I absolutely loved the take that at the end about Gran Turismo 7's microtransactions & currency payouts! Definitely a big reason why I stopped playing GT7 after a few weeks. Although I am thinking of getting back into it soon... Also, my favourite Gran Turismo game is probably GT5, but I do have a lot of nostalgia for the original as it was one of the first video games I ever played.

[@siddheshpillai3807]

don't come back to gran turismo 7 it literally a landfill of a game instead watch speed racer

[@tinabeckel950]

I’ve been looking forward to this one since the first trailer drop. Great review Jeremy ❤

[@kobuseksteen411]

Djimon Honsou as a screaming artist in the movie 'In America' was so good. Also in Blood diamond and Amistad: 'Where is da diamond!' Such an underrated actor.

[@EurovisionFan91]

Watched it tonight, better than expected! I think people who like racing and/or computer games will enjoy this movie. As an F1 fan, there were many things I recognized, like Will Buxton as a commentator :D

[@marcochen9117]

the best racing movie still I believe is Rush with Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl, one of the most underrated movies of all time

[@marcochen9117]

@breadandcircuses8127 amazing lead performances but particularly bruhl, great score that builds tension along with the sound design and direction of the racing scenes that has never been bested by a movie since. Its the best sports rivalry movie imo, it doesn't particularly innovate but does everything it needs to to perfection.

[@KhalilArafan]

That rant at the end tho. Bruh. Truth. You touched my very core 😂

[@vishanthfishy]

I've watched this trailer a thousand times... Against my will in the cinema

[@HoopleHeadUSA]

The series this is based on is actually really solid

[@speemerboy06]

Went to see it this past weekend, and have to say I was thoroughly impressed. Theater was also packed, and there’s something to be said when the whole theater applauds at the winning scenes.

[@thunderstruck5484]

Some funnest PlayStation one memories is GT racing my cousins in the old vettes side by side screen, thanks Jeremy!

[@transformersfan3509]

With this movie here's hiw I rank all five of his films. 1. District 9 2. Chappie 3. Gran Turismo 4. Elysium 5. Demonic Yeah I love chappie, I think it gets too much hate and it's very underrated, It sucks that It bombed at the box office and cost the sequels to be canceled.

[@morganbrown392]

Whoa wait, what’s demonic? I’ve never heard of that film from him.

[@transformersfan3509]

@@morganbrown392 it's a film he directed during Covid, it ain't worth watching, it's terrible.

[@everythingisawesome2903]

I have a love and hate relationship with Chappie. Love the movie and hated Hugh Jackman's character, totally different from how he was in Real Steel.

[@transformersfan3509]

@@everythingisawesome2903 Hugh Jackman stated that he's tired of playing the hero in most of his movies, and he wanted to be part of chappie if he only became the main antagonist, which I think he potrayed pretty good.

[@bryanking1428]

GT3 is the one I have most fond memories of but GT7 is absolutely fantastic and has a VR mode. So you really feel like youre in there, racing.

[@Pixelblurr]

Really want to see you review Dark Winds. Season 2 just started. Really enjoying it!

[@SupMamma88]

I got to see the movie early because of Regal’s Mystery Movie Monday event. I loved it! The cinematography alone makes me want to see it again

[@ytuser_3122]

I honestly feel like Neil Blomkamp got lucky AF after making District 9

[@jimmyfingers227]

Now extremely overratted director

[@6kembe4orba]

@@jimmyfingers227 bulshit - his shorts Rakka, Firebase + Zygote are extremely good and Adam Episode 2 + Episode 3 are 10/10. Chappie is very solid, Elysium was rushed, District 9 is 9/10.

[@zillaxx]

the movie tried to be related for both gamers and not and got lost, was fun truly, but bit tad long

[@shawklan27]

Why must most blockbusters have to be so long nowadays

[@zillaxx]

@@shawklan27 honestly no idea, idk why this one, haunted mansion or the meg 2 needed to be 2+ hours, don't they want more screenings with shorter runtime? i honestly don't know

[@chorizojoe8282]

As someone who made it to some of the GT academy competitions, this movie is definitely something I’m looking forward to watching it. My only complaint is the way the order of events were redone.

[@MrBenfranz]

I have acquired the most recent Gran Turismo, and the specialty controller for it. I am very excited to start playing it tomorrow.

[@enlat2003]

For a 2hr and 15 mins movie... it ran pretty quick :) It was entertaining and a a bonus there were some good emotional moments mixed in there which many video games to live action movies have failed to do over the years (and that's a pretty long list). Definitely worth watching on the big screen.

[@k_lakshmi_n]

David Harbour carried the movie, everyone else seemed emotionless

[@devanmoran]

cant wait to hear your review on the last voyage (:

[@K3V1N117]

Got tickets for preview today. Hopefully I can make it.

[@AnaMontecristo]

From all the GT Academy winners that went on to actually compete in anything worth mentioning, Nicolas Hammann, Florian Strauss, Steve Doherty, Peter Pyzera, Mark Shulzhitskiy, Jordan Tresson, Wolfgang Reip, Lucas Ordoñez and Jann Mardenborough, 8 were white and 1 was black. Guess who they made this movie all about...

[@GuitarGuy650]

This movie is painfully Gen Z

[@JonathanSheeran]

This is a must watch for me! I played all the GTs but I really can’t tell you which one is my favourite tbh.

The trailer looks stupid as hell

[@Mangolite]

I always appreciate Jeremy Jahns trying to learn to pronounce someone’s name according to how the person wanted.

[@Moneyman208]

Watched the movie last night at a sneak peek premiere . Definitely lives up to the hype I would suggest viewing in Dolby sound or IMAX !!

Jeremy is there any way to see how you have rated all movies on imdb that you have rated? :D love ur content!
