A Story of Team NISSAN NISMO's Success in 24 Hours of LE MANS and a Solid Biopic of Jann Mardenborough. How a British Esports Gran turismo player became a professional Racer. All the star casts had played their role brilliantly. The bonding between a Racer and his Trainer David Harbour asJack Salter was wonderful how he motivates his racer Jann Mardenborough played by Archie Madekwe. The VFX CGI were amazing . It looks pretty realistic. High Octane racing sequences were shot in real locations with real exotic race cars which shot in all over the planet race tracks. The Direction of every angle were very detailed. Gives you the vibes of Top Gun Maverick. It has Rivalry, Neck to neck Racing. Extra more Romantic scenes could have been added by the makers. The Romantic scenes were added as a fiction. But still the movie circles around the trio characters in majorly Jann Mardenborough, Danny Moore and Jack Salter which is a fantastic move by the makers. No over drama, No over romantic. The movie only focuses on these three characters and the story goes forward. with races till the climax. The film will stick and hooks you on the edge of your seats. A 100% entertainment with your families. A worth watching for everyone.… Expand

(you still should see Barbie, because as flawed as it is, Magot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are individually fantastic) But you will enjoy Gran Turismo much more.

Gran Turismo is not complex, there's no propaganda, and of course, the action sequences require the Biggest Screen you can find for viewing, IMAX was stunning. Young, Old, and where ever you are on the political spectrum, this is just fun, sometimes sweet, direct storytelling with the best racing effects possible. This movie is the best investment this summer for your entertainment budget, without question. Don't be worried about reviews that mention Gamers - sure, they love it, and also so does everyone else, even those of us that still have a cassette Walkman around...… Expand

The movie was one of the best movies I watched this year 2023. It inspired me with determination like this race car driver with only gamer experience was so focused and determined despite what anybody said. I feel like that's how I was when I was in my 20's I was determined and nobody was going to stop me from conquering my goals. I wanted to make sure that my parents do not say I told you so. n

This movie teaches you about manifestations. You dreams as a child can manifest itself and you have to be aware of the opportunities and give it all you got! Also, taught me resilience. You must fail so many times and learn and keep going and not quit til you win and be the best. Furthermore, it taught me the importance of mentorship. Sometimes you can't think clearly on your road to success and mentor would help guide you in making the best decision for your next step so you can accomplish your goals. It's important to experience and have fun with journey and learn from others along the way to help you succeed. It was to me a positive vibe movie and inspirational. I needed a movie like that tonight. This is true story so happy it was like a life lesson. We can manifest our dreams but we have. to be aware when those opportunities arise and grab Tham and be able to work hard to get it!! Love the movie.!!! The best for this year 2023 it taught me life lessons.… Expand

The fact that it’s based on a true story from the game is highly accomplishing. The visuals of simulation down to the jaw dropping intensity of racing are exhilarating. I was holding my breath through scenes of wreckage and turmoil on the track. Themes of manifestation, family and resilience shine through the core elements of the story. It will leave you feeling wholesome and inspired. Archie Madekwe is just perfect in every single way for the lead role. As a newcomer to the big screen he honestly has solidified his talent. It really is a film for pure gamers to show how a simulation isn’t just a fantasy dream, it’s real life.… Expand

Basada en un videojuego de PlayStation, Gran Turismo no se toma la molestia de ser una adaptación de videojuegos así nomas, sino que opta por ser una película biográfica de un gamer que con tan solo jugar al Gran Turismo tuvo la oportunidadBasada en un videojuego de PlayStation, Gran Turismo no se toma la molestia de ser una adaptación de videojuegos así nomas, sino que opta por ser una película biográfica de un gamer que con tan solo jugar al Gran Turismo tuvo la oportunidad de cumplir su sueño de ser un corredor de carreras y llegar muy lejos. Cuando parece que jugar videojuegos no es más que una perdida de tiempo, la historia que esta película narra demuestra todo lo contrario y que al final ser un gamer sí tiene una salida laboral. Es una muy buena historia dramática sobre como, a veces por suerte o por azares del destino, logra presentarse una oportunidad para alcanzar un sueño que al principio parecía imposible. Toa la película nos muestra esta travesía que Jann tuvo que emprender en su meta como futuro corredor de carreras de autos. Es muy fácil seguirle el ritmo a la película y tiene momentos emotivos que logran generar conexión con Jann y su entrenador Jack. Las secuencias de autos de carreras son muy buenas y generan emoción al ver a Jann compitiendo por su nueva vocación. Gran Turismo es definitivamente una de las mejores películas deportivas y biográficas que se han hecho y es algo única de entre muchas películas que se han hecho basadas en videojuegos. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 10/10… Expand

From the start, you canWhat else could we expect than an average movie? The scenario especially falls flat in an ocean of pre-heated predictability and the only thing that - almost - saves it is the fact that it is based on a true story. From the start, you can clearly see where the plot is going to end and how. This last statement is only partially true since the middle of the film sees some relatively unpredictable events going on. But it doesn't last long before we go back to those classic linear rails again. Driving skills are a mess since Jann has no strategy at all.

The filmmaking is quite cool, as some shots deserve the detour in my opinion. Some are interestingly evoking the games, but never too much. Mea culpa, I am just way too keen and in awe about racing movies to put a lower score.
Actors are okay but wow how did Orlando Bloom get so old? It is already a whole thing for him to appear in such a movie. Opponents (as well as allies) are just empty shells.
Visuals are terrific, some shots are a bit 3Dish disgusting but disappear quite quickly. Terrific cars, terrific circuits and environments. Thrilling fast paced action.
The soundtrack is insane from the iconic start with 'Parenthesis' from Kenny Beats (from his 'LOUIE' album which easily deserves a 10/10). On the other hand great Kenny G introduction.

This made my buy Forza Horizon 4 the day after... I guess their marketing objectives were not that completed.… Expand

The story would be great as just a story, but what makes it even more impressive is that it’s based on the real story of Jann Mardenborough, a Gran Turismo player who actually became a professional race car driver! Jann gets to play a stunt double in the movie for the actor who plays him. Sweet!
I don’t play racing video games but I still really enjoyed this movie!
The film was directed by Neill Blomkamp. Writing credtis go to Jason Hall, Zach Baylin, and Alex Tse.

THINGS I LIKED:
Archie Madekwe delivers big time in this! I’m thinking this is his big break in Hollywood. Congrats!
David Harbour does an excellent job, as always. Fans of the popular Netflix TV show Stranger Things will love him in this.
It’s great to see Orlando Bloom in something again! He hasn’t been in a wide release since 2014! His character is inspired by the real Darren Cox who founded GT Academy to help Sony Playstation give racing gamers a real chance in the world of professional racing drivers.
Darren Barnet’s character is inspired by the real Brian Heitkotter, who won the GT Academy with Jann Mardenborough in 2011.
You’ll notice a former Spice Girl in the movie: Geri Halliwell. In real life, she’s married to a professional racer for Red Bull: Christian Horner.
Djimon Hounsou is underutilized but has one of the most powerful moments in the film.
There are so many cool moments in the film. For example, the real Kazunori Yamauchi is the sushi chef in Japan who smiles at Jann.
Hungaroring in Hungary was used for many of the racing scenes, designed to look like different locations around the world.
Michelin Tires was the official tire partner for the movie, providing all of the rubber in the movie.
I love the two songs featured in the movie that the main character listens to a lot: Kenny G: Songbird (1987) and Enya: Orinoco Flow – Sail Away (1988). What do YOU listen to in order to relax, focus, or be inspired by?
There is a lot of humor, as well as inspirational lines.
The action is exciting and will definitely give gamers the thrill they love. In fact, I love that so many video game elements are included in the telling of this story.
Video game movie adaptations used to be notoriously terrible, but are we seeing an uptick of good ones? It sure looks that way. Yay! Two of my four sons work in the video game industry and are thrilled by that.
At the end of the movie, we get to see video clips and photographs of the real people involved in the true events told in the movie. THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE:
It’s extremely predictable but I didn’t care. This was fun, made even better by the fact that the events in the story really happened!
Some have complained that the details in the story aren’t entirely accurate. I still didn’t care. It’s so inspiring and energizing. TIPS FOR PARENTS: Some profanity
We see several racing car wrecks.
Talk of race car drivers who died in crashes.

Gran Turismo can proudly boast of offering a healthy dose of modest and unambitious entertainment. However, when considering the overall concept, the film exudes a sense of detachment, coldness and a vexing absence of emotional depth.

WhileGran Turismo can proudly boast of offering a healthy dose of modest and unambitious entertainment. However, when considering the overall concept, the film exudes a sense of detachment, coldness and a vexing absence of emotional depth.

While the on-screen storyline draws from reality, I find that the protagonist's career trajectory seems to align more with the mechanics of a video game rather than capturing the true nuances of real life. This creates a barrier that affects the ultimate achievement of his success. It's not that the protagonist didn't work hard to achieve his position, but rather that his struggle and training lacks the palpable sense of true dedication and sacrifice.

Once again, Neill Blomkamp proves that he is a director with vision, and despite the film being under the tight reins of the studio system, it displays a fine level of craftsmanship. However, the script is clearly where the film falters and is what has been his biggest weakness since District 9. Although it should be noted that this film does distance itself significantly from the mediocre "Demonic" of 2021. Undoubtedly the worst film of his career and by far.

If you're looking for some lighthearted fun without the burden of deeper contemplation, you're unlikely to be disappointed with Gran Turismo. Nevertheless, if you try to dig deeper, the more you explore, the more obvious its shortcomings will become.… Expand

A Nissan executive (Orlando Bloom) suggests training the best players to become actual drivers and this is the true story of a Welsh gamer (Archie Madekwe) who ends up in the big race. Madekwe does a fine job, along with David Harbour, who's solid performance adds more meaning. Neill Blomkamp is known for directing sci-fi films and he's applied some of his showmanship to the driving, while maintaining an emotional core. Yes, there's lots of racing around tracks, but the editing tricks help keep them interesting. Even though it's driven with predictable beats, there's sufficient skill and heart to generate an acceptable sports movie.… Expand
