Brad Pitt is bringing back the summer blockbuster excitement with F1: The Movie, directed by Joseph Kosinski, co-written by Kosinski and Ehren Kruger. Also starring Damson Idris, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies and Kerry Condon, it’s a movie that really strives to evoke the thrill of racing.

Brad Pitt hit Times Square Monday night for the premiere of his new movie F1. The film stars Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a fictional F1 driver who makes a comeback to racing after losing his career decades earlier following a serious car crash.

The "F1" movie makes good use of its grand prix track time, delivering stunning visuals, but its story isn't universally loved within the paddock.
