GRAN TURISMO brings us an adaptation, which is based on a true story, about a gamer who played Gran Turismo, then got to live it. Here's my review!
#GranTurismo
Being honest playing GTA my whole life, I hopped into a car a week before my driving test. I hit 15 seperate pedestrians. Everything felt so natural. In a sense I can relate to this.
You win the comment section today 😂
Well, you won the internet today. Everyone else pack it up.
Was the car yours?😂
Shouldn't you be in prison? Lmao
Hahahah😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Now we need a violent Burnout movie
Might work better as an anime :D
I forgot about Burnout that would be sick!
YES!!!!🏎💨
How about forza
What about Need for Speed?
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.
what a well written way to say "this isn't a game anymore" without being cheesy
That’s super interesting I didn’t notice that
I did notice for one of the races, the chime was from GT2 which took me back to playing it on the ps2
Djimon Hounsou always gets less than he deserves. Massive talent.
"Who?"
@@everythingisawesome2903Dijmon Hounsou man, the black guy in every movie.
SPOILERS
I though the conversation between him and his son before the final race at the 24 Le Mans really made me tear up a bit
@@Carloszavalalolfirst of all that’s racist ; second: that’s not even close
@@gabrielleroux2333 it's not racist if it's true. 👀
I remember watching the documentary on this I was blown away by the fact how radical the idea was and how it paid off hopefully the movie does it justice looks awesome.
You know this is complete bullshit and did not at all happened right?
It’s based off a true story?
@@ahmedsulz8265 yes
@@ahmedsulz8265yeah, jeremy said so at the beginning
@@ahmedsulz8265Yes,car racing is true.
I love movies about underdogs, the losers or rejects overcoming incredible obstacles to become successful in their dreams. I hope this movie truly lives up to the hype.
Its a genre that never gets old. I guess thats why they keep making them, these types of movies just work.
Yeah I saw it last night and I was shocked how I enjoyed it.
I like the underdog movies when they fight incredible obstacles just to find out at the end that their dreams were impossible to begin with and then they end up in an Insane Asylum
@@BasketCase-rr7txIt's an genre which is universally loved, everyone wants to see the little guy succeed.
You'd love Shonen Anime lol
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.
You won’t be disappointed. 11/10 best race film you will ever see especially since you are a gran turismo veteran.
I had absolutely no expectations for this, but, as Gran Turismo is part of my life, I must watch it.
The trailer was pure cringe
I'm just surprised by who the director of the movie is, because he mainly directs science fiction movies(and I do like all of them) like District 9, Elysium, and Chappie, so this is an interesting change for this director.
@@missourigreen051 District 9 was bangin’ 😀
@@TheZackkary1the trailer was mid but the actual movie is peak
@@TheZackkary1 the trailer wasn’t that bad chill dude
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.
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
Best movie of the year top 5 I’ve ever see. Of all time
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.
A kid in front of me was literally cheering and rooting for our man during the races
@@EdDeezNuts944I agree with most, but they were in R35 GTRs
:-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.
I had zero expectations for this movie but after watching it at the media premiere last night, I was absolutely blown away. Definitely one of my fav movies to come out this year.
There is nothing good about this film, awful acting and just doesnt' understand racing or really anything
@@bevanmcnicholl2525why is there always the one dude like you in every positive comment in RUclips…

@@quintonmiller8266 I didn't see it but there is nothing in the trailer that looks even just "okay"
@@bevanmcnicholl2525sad
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.
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)
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.
He made a great movie…and then a string of duds.
@@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.
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.
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.
The music was pretty awesome, too.
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.
Being honest. I played racing games for years, and a week before my driving test was the first time I hopped in a car. I passed the test. Everything felt so natural. In some sense I can relate to this.
Okay, is this like a new meme about Gran Turismo
So do you think we are ready for a zombie apocalypse?
I can recall two incidents in my life where I narrowly avoided a car accident by pulling maneuvers that I can only assume came from years of driving games.
@@mac1991sethNaa GT actually help me learned how to corner better. The average person on the expressway doesn’t realize taking a turn on the inside is much more better than taking it outside. Them driving guideline worked miracles for me 😂
@@hightolerance8728If you’re on the expressway, taking a corner on the inside vs the outside really doesn’t make a difference lol
Maybe this could be the kind of video game adaptation that really works. Movies about how a game impacted gamers.
I'd love that
Nope this movie doesn't work
@@bevanmcnicholl2525Have you seen it?
@@bevanmcnicholl2525it works better than your ordinary life
@@bevanmcnicholl2525its not movie for you, just watch your Barbie and chill
That's so true with Neill Blomkamp haha. He's had a lot of misses but just the fact that he directed District 9 makes me look forward to ALL his movies regardless.
District 9: Incredible film
Elysium: Not as good as D9 but underrated action movie
Chappie: is a film.
District 9 sucked so bad, so boring.
@@firewizzard86ok
I remember watching Chappie and crying my eyes out, but never went back to watch it again; Elysium is one of those i would leave on during cleaning the house for background noice; never even heard of District 9 😮
@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.
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.
Agree
Saw it last night and I can say I absolutely loved it! I agree with the rushed early races but then it might have been 3 hours long 😂 100% recommend everyone to see it!
We just saw THIS movie in 4DX and our audience ALL applauded during the credits!! It's a MUST SEE in 4DX!!!!
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.
Solid acting. Fantastic action sequences. Touching story.
Gran Turismo is this summer's surprise sleeper hit.
A movie about driving (racing), no alcohol required. Good call Jeremy.
Oh man, Jeremy. I'm so glad you enjoyed the movie but I can't stop replaying 5:41.
So, did I. find this movie quite riveting.
Djimon Hounsou easily outshines most of his cast members in movies he's in and yet he's always sort of kept on the fringes let the guy work he's amazing even in shitty movies he never phones it in and that's why he's a real gem and his range is incredible!
"Who?"
@@davidjordannavarro5757your mom
@@davidjordannavarro5757😂
Incredibly under appreciated actor, he should’ve gotten an award for blood diamond. He outperformed DiCaprio in that movie!
@@davidjordannavarro5757i understood that reference lol
What a year for video game adaptations; this, The Last of Us, Twisted Metal & Super Mario Bros
Eating good
Also Tetris.
Last of Us didn’t have to do anything since they just copy and pasted the script from the game, so you can’t really call that an “adaptation”.
@@jaycorbinWhat about the gay drama episode?
@@neondemon5137 You mean Left Behind? That was a DLC for the original game, it’s all in there.
Your thoughts on the director are exactly mine. His films are hit or miss, but he made District 9 so I'm still excited. 😂
I remember the year that Gran Turismo Academy launched on ps3. I was terrible in racing sim but loved it still. Spent hours at it, and was 32 seconds behind the qualifying time XD
Major respect for all those who made it. Really want to watch this movie.
As always, awesome video review, and extra applause on criticizing GT7's microtransactions :D
Just watched the movie, it was so fun!
This movie blew my expectations.
Finally got to see this last night. Amazing movie, with heart, fun and technical perfection to spare! Definitely made by people who understand Gamers and racing. One of the best movies of the year.
I googled Neill Blomkamp yesterday as I wondered to myself "What the District 9 director doing next?". I found out it was Gran Tourismo and thought, uh oh, a video game movie....
Glad to learn you enjoyed it because most of the time what you like is what I like.
Going in as an avid fan of Blomkamp's work and a lamen unaware of Gran Turismo's impact on the gaming landscape, this film worked for me on every conceivable level.
This movie made Jeremy's heart race.
I like this pun. Can I have credit for it?
5:39 went on repeat for a while, man. The build up of chaos, exquisite.
This was exciting to watch! Got in the car after leaving the theatre and wanted to be a racer… but it wasn’t fast enough!😢
I love this film. It warmed my heart and honestly, is one of the best racing films I've watched.
I remember reading about this kid when it happened. Even though the trailer looks generic, his accomplishment is extraordinary and I would love to watch it regardless.
I just watched The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings series back to back, so seeing Orlando Bloom, no matter the quality of this film, warms the heart.
That first Hobbit is pretty good, but I couldn't get behind those sequels. I just watch LOTR extended. I love like 90% of the actors in the prequels but I can't vibe with that series. :(
@@corygraphI get that feeling completely. Both the theatrical and extended editions of Parts 2 and 3 have too much unwanted comedy and bloated sequences that detract from the solid first movie’s foundation.
Just once I want one of these movies about the underdog who enters a professional sport and it blows up in their face
No studio would produce it because there’s little demand for a story with no pay off
@@user-ve9tu5rv6e not if you “subvert their expectations” (gah I hate that phrase) where the MC gets on the field, the wind up, the pitch….and a speedball right to the head knocking them out cold and the movie cuts to black and ends
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
Saw it in 4DX and it was a blast! Had a really great time, good vibes, positive energy! Audience was great too. Highly recommend it, especially if you love cars!
It was way better than I expected. Nothing new but still entertaining
I grew up playing Gran Turismo 3. I always watched the intro cinematic with Lenny Kravitz’s Are You Gonna Go My Way. I miss those days
The 2020's, ladies and gents - when video game movies *_FINALLY_* found their footing!
Now here's hoping they can keep it up with Sonic 3 and Mortal Kombat 2!
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.
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
I went to the early screening last night. And it was AMAZING. My gf loved the movie more than I did and she isn't a gamer. I would definitely see it again over top of the last 3 fast and furious movies lol
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.
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.
I definitely didn't expect you to drop that bomb regarding GT7 at the end. Well played.
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
I'm just relieved Oppenheimer isn't losing all its IMAX theaters to this or Blue Beetle 😂
Depends where you live. I got tickets for this movie on Saturday for imax
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
why do you get a cut ?
Lmao no one is watching Blue Beetle.
@@joshpaul6417 autism flaring up 🤭
I am actually going to see this, this weekend. Looks promising so about to see what Jeremy thinks…
it is fantastic saw it last Friday
Great video Jeremy! Keeping with the theme, do you think you can review Speed Racer?
The last monologue on corporate greed had me in stitches...
My fav, GT7 on ps5,
Tho i haven't splurge on a wheel and vr headset yet, but after 200h in getting gud, im really enjoying it, n no real money was spent on fake cars...
Hell yea brother. Everyone so nostalgic about the old gran turismos but GT7 is where it’s at. VR + wheel is the closest feeling to driving irl. It changed my life.
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.
the best racing movie still I believe is Rush with Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl, one of the most underrated movies of all time
@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.
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 !!
A similar film with reversed plot would be a great idea (from racer to gamer). And it's also based on true story as well
Nah , probably would be boring haha !!!
Instead of physical training he just consumes copius amounts of Doritos and Mt Dew
Some funnest PlayStation one memories is GT racing my cousins in the old vettes side by side screen, thanks Jeremy!
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
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.
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.
don't come back to gran turismo 7 it literally a landfill of a game
instead watch speed racer
This movie was one of the best that came out this year atleast, it's funny, it's emotional, especially during the nürburgring crash, the entire hall was tensed, and then the exhilarating moments towards the ends of almost all races in the movies. I really, really loved this film, and I am NOT a gamer. I've never even played gran tourismo. I just like cars
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.
Whoa wait, what’s demonic? I’ve never heard of that film from him.
@@morganbrown392 it's a film he directed during Covid, it ain't worth watching, it's terrible.
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.
@@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.
It sucked. A retard Ai robot being trained by criminals ol
I have acquired the most recent Gran Turismo, and the specialty controller for it. I am very excited to start playing it tomorrow.
I saw this movie last night and it’s definitely one of the best video game adaptations and underdog story!
I saw an advanced Screening of Gran Turismo on Monday night here in Ireland. I thought the narrative was basic, and the theme a little insidious at times (just believe in yourself and you'll do it. No, not everyone else who is trying just as hard as you, just you) in a way. But I still had fun, and on an execution level, from acting to editing to VFX, this film fires on all cylinders. It was pretty darn cool, and by the end, fuck the cliches, I was leaning forward in my seat with my heart in my chest.
Orlando Bloom and David Harbour were also pretty fucking great for known talent in this film. I thought they would phone it in, but you could feel the passion as they fully immerse themselves in their roles. Good darn film.
Glad to see the movie is getting good review. Hope this turns out well at the box office.
OMG that last rant on GT7 was epic! TY Jeremy!
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.
I recently watched this movie in Cineplex DBOX (motion seats). This was my first time watching a movie in DBOX, so I figured what better way to try it than a movie about driving simulation. I've never been more immersed in a movie as I did when watching DBOX, which precisely follows the car engines, acceleration, turns, breaks, and crashes of the vehicles. I had doubts that DBOX would be too overbearing, yet the haptic feedbacks are nicely considered out. The movie scored a strong 9.0/10. I do believe that the movie was improved by my DBOX experience but I would rate it 8.0/10
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.
New Years Eve and needed a movie to pass the time. My wife and i loved this movie! I remember this review from a few months ago and ran across the movie on Netflix finally.
Love your videos Jeremy
I can’t believe it’s almost 10 years since like I first started watching you I’m 25 now😂
I've watched this trailer a thousand times... Against my will in the cinema
5:41 New favorite JJ moment
The series this is based on is actually really solid
Thanks very much for the review Jeremy Jahns! Really! Being a fan of the Gran Turismo games. The Earlier installments on the original Playstation I remember playing hours on end. Forza comes second in my book still next to Gran Turismo. But I'm still glad to know these things about the upcoming movie, and I can't wait to see it. Once again, thanks for the review. This is good know.
I honestly feel like Neil Blomkamp got lucky AF after making District 9
Now extremely overratted director
@@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.
Great review and I was lucky to be invited to a Sony advanced screening last night. For petrol heads and racing gamers, this ticks a whole load of boxes and there were moments where it really got the intensity of racing right. Orlando Bloom still can't act though.
the movie tried to be related for both gamers and not and got lost, was fun truly, but bit tad long
Why must most blockbusters have to be so long nowadays
@@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
Coming from someone who is in the racing industry I wanna say this he was essentially his crew chief an with racing it becomes a way of life for us an more times then not we bond with our crew chief because there the people we spend the most time with and we trust them with our life’s an if we didn’t we wouldn’t climb in our cars an an do what we do. with each race the bond only grows stronger an that’s not only at the track that would also be along the road to the track that sometimes have absolutely nothing to do with the racing, just story’s being exchanged an memories that once there gone will be cherished for the rest of your life. My grandfather was my first crew chief an he taught me everything I know about the cars to how to drive them an I feel that in a lot of way I looked up to him as if he was my father an that’s something that I don’t think a lot of people understand about the motorsports world until they really take the time to just go to a local track an have a conversation with any one of the guys there that night.
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...
There's a specific moment in the movie that really really made me choke up, and if you know what I'm talking about or you know about Jann's story from the ESPN minidoc, it's rough.
Never been less excited for a movie
The trailer looks stupid as hell
If I played any racing games (which was rare; more of an RPG or turned based strategy guy myself) I was always more into the Need for Speed series. Maybe because it didn't solely rely on the realism like the GT games? My wife is a big GT player though. I her favorite was 4. Maybe 5? Hmm... I feel like I should know this...
Understandable. Some prefer arcade-racers, others prefer the real thing! Gran Turismo 7 on PSVR is where it’s at. It will change your life.
David Harbour carried the movie, everyone else seemed emotionless
Gran Turismo the original game, with no car model damage and Garbage as part of the soundtrack was my favorite. I grinded an old Madza Protégé to become less of a loser, never getting 1st, but hitting 3rds often.
This movie is painfully Gen Z
So excited to watch it tonight at the "early access fan event" at AMC.
Reminds me of that 2001 movie called Driven with Stallone. That movie was 🔥.
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.
Ive played GT since the first one debuted, I'd say 4 was my favorite.
this was the first movie i saw in dbox (with the moving seats) and it was absolutely incredible
Sounds awesome
Djimon Hounsou needs to be in everything. I love him! Small role in this movie but he really gave a good performance.
Awesome Review Jearmy I am looking forward to this movie now more than ever thank you!
That dig at GT7 at the end the was fantastic lol
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.
Flying through races is ok, that quick jump in time, but you need to do it a little better I think. Rush in 2013 did it spot on imo. It had enough sprinkled races, the important ones, to not break pace, skipped over other events but showed some snips from them as well, and it kinda fit nicely to the narrative. The last race I would say was more immersive in Rush than the last race in GT. But the last race in GT I felt was kinda hype at moments too.
It had some of the usual tropes as well like, waiting for a result to see if you won, along with plenty other tropes, and I am sure they took plenty liberties to frame the story with difference to reality to spice it up, but overall I enjoyed this film quite a bit. As a casual sim racer myself, it was a really nice time.
One of the liberties taken in the film (which is a Playstation Film, lol), was saying Gran Turismo is the most realistic Simulator ever... 🤡
iRacing, AC and ACC to name a few would like to have a word :P
Although timeline wise, perhaps we could say this is the case for when this actually happened, however we are still actually racing in cars from a decade later and it looks like a 2023 GT race league, lol. I mean Huracan? 488 GT3? Kinda muddles the timeline completely when possible and when it suits the narrative :) At which point, seeing modern cars and saying the best simulation ever in the same context next to each other, again, some games will like to have a word :D
Technically it can't be disputed as back in the day this was most likely true... But yeah, nitpicking at this point, it was still a great and enjoyable film :)
