Gran Turismo may have a weak and predictable storyline, but the race scenes are exhilarating to have fun with!!!

What I Like:

-Let’s face it, one of the biggest reasons to watch this movie is because you want to see some fun car races, and you get that, the blending of the sound, cinematography, and special effects does make it very thrilling

The So So:

-The acting was ok, I do give credit to David Harbour as the trainer, I thought he was great, Archie Madekwe as the protagonist was ok to decent, I didn’t really feel the full potential of his character, Djimon Hounsou playing the father was very underused, except for that one emotional scene where he shined for a little bit, and Orlando Bloom was just there

What I Didn’t Like:

-Even though this is a true story, it does seem ridiculous and predictable, it even hit all the cliches for a sports movie which I could’ve seen before it happened, let alone it reminded me a lot of the other racing movies where storywise was better at the very least

Overall:

I had low expectations for this sports film based on a video game extravaganza, but it ended up to be decent enough to be fun and entertaining. Put the story telling and predictable plot aside. The race scenes were very thrilling, and I believe it is worth a gander to watch it in IMAX. I mean that is what you want to see, right? Some thrilling race scenes with all the fixings, and that is what you get. Could’ve been better? Absolutely. However, the bare minimum is good enough. Even for a sports movie sucker like me!!!

(Sidenote: Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. – This coming of age film was enlightening to watch. It flowed very well, and it wasn’t boring to watch. I may not be the demographic for this film, and I haven’t read the book either. However, it is fascinating to see a protagonist preteen growing up, and how she deals with it. Fun for a mother and daughter movie night!!!
