Brad Pitt drove deep into the real F1 racing world for 'F1 The Movie.' Perhaps a go-kart showdown with Tom Cruise is next?

The lasting impression of the new movie F1 isn't of the spectacular racing sequences on an IMAX screen but that of Brad Pitt. No one should look like that at any age, much less 61. It's not inspiring.

Its big-screen technology changes the viewer experience. But what keeps the film grounded, our reviewer says, is having a major movie star in the driver’s seat.
