Love letter to motorsport, cars, Polyphony Digital, Sony, and of course the ultimate racing simulation… Gran Turismo. Neil Blomkamp did exceptionally well not only retelling an inspiring racing story but also capturing the excitement, intensity, and raw emotion of racing.
usopp likedGran TurismoA talented young racing prodigy earns the opportunity of a lifetime and works his way to becoming one of the world’s top racers. Boasts exhilarating, immersive racing scenes. A few predictable twists, but worthy of a watch. Fun and exciting film. Great “dreams to reality” story.
amyy likedGran Turismohella good. shoutout to @pusbag & @fredricocraft for bringing it to my attention that i NEED to watch this.
- riki. lovedGran Turismo
I am not a big fan of cars, but I like watching race movies and I didn’t expect that this film would turn out to be this good. I love David Harbour’s acting performance as he delivers the negative side of becoming a pro athlete. And I just love that it is based on real events.
Kevin lovedGran TurismoA terrific game adaptation that happens to be a true story, which is unbelievable. This film was a lot better than I expected it to be. As a petrol head, I knew I’d like it nevertheless, but it definitely exceeded my expectations. Archie, David & Orlando were all terrific.
Emma likedGran TurismoReally good, I liked it a lot. Saw it early as a mystery movie and the whole theater was really into it, David Harbour is great and funny. Really entertaining and the story flows well

Metacritic

Gran Turismo is perhaps a more basic film for Blomkamp, but a welcome reminder that his breakthrough first feature District 9 wasn’t a fluke. He manages to give a film that is more or less an ad for a video game a little bit of heart.

The film’s visual look is as inert as its screenplay, and its attempts to make the real racing scenes look like Gran Turismo gameplay by overlaying the game’s graphics with live footage fall embarrassingly flat.
