Right? Now can we please get a really great adaptation of Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, or Tekken? There have been a few that were ok, but none of them really got it, and it would be so painfully easy. Just fight. That's all. Talk less, fight more. Nobody plays any of those games for the cut scenes, I don't understand why every movie tries to make some intriguing plot.

The trailers made this movie look horrible I am shocked that it is a good movie thank you for the critical drinker I will now seen it

@@markzuckergecko621An adaptation of Tekken would be awesome

Wow that's amazing. You guys get to watch it together with the director himself. Awesome!

That’d so cool. Did you or anyone else ask him questions about the movie or anything like that?

The AMC Theatres 20 screen megaplex in Tallahassee did not order a single copy of the film "Titanic" because the managers thought it sounded dumb. The highest grossing film at the time, all of the business went the theater across town at Governor's Square Mall.

Just so you know, it might just be a case of your theater not deciding to do the “Early Previews” that were showing only on the 8/11-8/13 and this upcoming 8/18-8/20 weekends before the actual release on August 25th.

yeah that happened lmao

Hollywood has gone over to the dark side. And thinks it’s much cleverer and more important than it actually is. For 90+% of their output there’s only one thing to do: avoid.

I saw the posters for the movie. I told my mum it's all just time waste, they always make video game movies and it sucks. And to top it off i never played the game but i knew it was basically a simulator. Ain't no way in hell it's worth watching. Well that was until now. Am considering going to the Cinema.

@@pianissimo7121 go. You won’t regret it.

​@@pianissimo7121You should definitely check it out if you still can. The first 30min or so is a bit rough like the Drinker mentions - but it's worth sticking with it. I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

Are americans really like this ? You cheer and applaud at the cinema?

I got a little misty eyed more than once. Was not expecting that.

I cried a few times.

@@recline69 not really. It's definitely a movie you know where it's going the whole time. But it's still great.

@@My360AndMe do you even know who you're talking to? I didn't spoiler shit.

thanks for spoiling will wait for streaming now :)

I definitely enjoyed and I've never played Gran Turismo, kind of would now that I've seen the film😉 Here are my thoughts on the film: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZOefZhhsMuuY3U.html

Yes! Granted critic's hated it (saw someone say it's "watching a bunch of left turns"... so I don't even think some of them actually watched it) But that was one of the things (among many) that stuck out to me is some GOOD male role models and relationships (mentor/father/son)

It might be a good movie, but I will *never* watch anything with David Harbour in it. He calls for violence against his political opponents and made a speech encouraging people to "punch nazis". He is a disgusting, terrible person. And I will never willingly or consciously transfer any of my money into any project which involves him or other Left-wing weirdos.

Gran Turismo was my childhood, and definitely one of the best game (series) ever made. I haven't seen the film yet, but I'll watch it the second i get the chance

I basically gave up on modern movies, but it's hard to resist a good old car porn, if that's what it really is. Is it half as good as "Ford v Ferrari" and "Rush"? Or am I swinging for the fences?

FNAF Movie gonna be fire 🗣🗣🗣

​@@TheTrainTheoristOfficiallow expectations we aren't on the good video game movies universe

​@@grayfox9869the games themselves are becoming cash grabs, many such cases

I want a Sekiro movie animated by Ufotable or Digic Studio with Fromsoft supervising everything.

Nope

People that watch barbie most likely aren't going to watch this movie anyhow.

People aren't allowed to watch more than one movie?

The official wider-release date for this movie is August 25th so for most people it hasn't even came out yet.

🤔 Hmmm maybe it will be an advantage instead of a setback. People were starting to get tired of going to the cinema and paying that much for boring movies that were all the same since almost a decade. Less and less watchers actually wanted to watch movies on the big screen and prefered to wait for the streaming release. Now that they saw that cinema as such isn't dead and there is a new high coming where it finally pays off again to take in the experience (spiderverse, super mario, puss in boots... all of those turned out to be suprisingly good) maybe they're interested in watching more cinema- movies again in general and GT could benefit from this momentum since the reviews are overwhelmingly positive so far...

i did and was more hyped than i was for barbie, just watched it last sunday and as someone who was familiar with both the games and the reality show the movie took the base as really felt good@@heathb4319

@@apk4381Mate, the real life Jann is mixed. The stereotypical montage you get at the end of essentially every true life story shows the real Jann and his parents.

That was she said

David Harbour has sullied his brand too much for me. Maybe Netflix...

@@Ease54 As someone's who's seen David Harbour in *only* Black Widow as Red Guardian and in Gran Turismo as Jack Salter, I say he's a good actor actually. He kinds reminds me of my dad.

Forgot to mention he sucked lol😂

There is a driver in F2 who started in e-sports. Jimmy broadbent went from sim racing to real cars. Lucas Blakely is now in formula ford.

@@MrXbloodline He finished on podium in his first proffesional race. Got a win in GP3, F3 and GT3 series. Managed to finish 3rd in LMP2 at LeMans and got a drive in LMP1.

Wow, really? We didn't know that. Thanks for telling us.

It's no longer a novel concept. Professional drivers use simulators and sim racers are becoming professionals

It's a fantastic movie, you won't be disappointed

I think racing has had a pretty good run of movies over the years. As a Football fan, I nonetheless enjoyed Ford vs. Ferrari, Rush, and Days of Thunder more than any football movie I've ever seen.

Well, if you you're looking for movies about racing, try The World's Fastest Indian ;)

@@CyberChrist One of my favorites

it doesnt treat racing that well. it's weird. There are overtakes that make it seem like everyone else around the track sucks. There are moments of track drama that is completely unreal and would result in the revoking of some of the drivers licenses. And there are very little technical layers to the representation of the sport, which would be nice, because you are watching a guy transitioning from a sim to real life.

Djimon Honsu is always good in everything he is in!

There's hardly such a thing as passion these days its like your watching the same movie.

It's also similar to The Last Starfighter!

Not at all because Vince did that with his own body while Van was given an illegal car to race with. Good god, people. Gamers are not legit. This is so pathetic.

@@mymomsbasement69 Race car drivers absolutely put their bodies on the line just like any other sport, and race cars aren't 'illegal' on the track, ridiculous

@@mymomsbasement69 professional race car drivers virtually all practice on simulators these days. Its not 100% the same as a real car, but close enough to where the skills are verifiably transferable. They also use simulators to determine baseline suspension/engine settings for the track before practice sessions.

@butcherjsy8 Beat me to that one though I imagine it would be the first thought of all viewers “of a certain age.”

We're truly in the new era for game adaptations.

The Last of Us had a pretty solid show, too.

@@landrypierce9942hmmm was it?

@@Trap4DaysOfficial Some episodes better than others, admittedly.

I was gonna say that this movie could use a Broadbent cameo...or at least a scene where either Jann or Saltzer walks by a wall with graffiti reading, "No punterino, Jimmer!"

@@iHaveTheDocumentswhat’s did he do or say?

I'm curious about this myself

Oh the guy from stranger things. Yeah he is a strange one to be oce about it

They showed Jann watching one of Steve's videos in the first half. Blink and you'll miss it, but a nice touch. The Kaz cameo was fantastic though, I recognised him immediately.

He got to be the stunt driver for himself in this film, which is really cool.

Yeah the trailers almost made it look like a comedy.

Like the real Kaz playing a sushi chef…

​@@scottlawton9459Who's Kaz?

@@Enoo-Wynn Kazunori Yamauchi-the creator of the GT games cameos as the sushi chef serving Jann and his gf in Tokyo. He smiles at them and the camera stays on him for a second.

Yep, true story. Driver is real too, and the crash depicted borrowed from a known Le Mans 24h crash, but Jann did crash at the Nurburgring where his car flew into a spectator area and actually killed someone. GT Academy is pretty cool and the competition is ferocious, plenty of drivers come up from sim racing into the real thing.

It happened during GT5. On the PS3. The first game was on the PS1. In the late 90's. It also wasn't during the 25th anniversary either. That happened during the launch of GT7.

Another good movie was "The Art of Racing in the Rain", released a few years back. I think it is the best racing movie that isn't about racing I've seen

Same. Watched it online tonight and I Have to see it in theaters now. It's not very often I would go pay to see something I've seen for free (albeit a crappy quality). This ones worth it.

As a motorsport fan, watch Grand Prix from 1966…it doesn’t get much better than that.

@@ltdada74 No racing movie will ever beat Grand Prix's racing scenes, no matter how well made they are, because many of the sequences from that movie wouldn't be allowed to be shot today

​@@simpdefendmlady6579what do you mean here by "normies"? If most people like a certain movie then didn't that movie do its job? I barely ever watch any movie so I haven't seen the Barbie movie by the way.

I would argue the Drinker is damned either way on this. The decent movies are probably having him drink in celebration instead of drinking to forget his woes. He is the Drinker after all.

Doesn’t he hit a spectator and kill them?…

@@venomau5speedz Yes, that was this crash. What I meant was, that I didn't know, that it was the GT Academy driver who had the crash until I saw it in the movie.

Even better, she'd know how to drive race cars better than the old white male instructor, and she'd make him look like a fool by beating his record lap time. Once she started winning the races despite the patriarchy trying to sabotage her, all the Kens would start wanting to date her. She'd tell them she don't need no man.

Im not going to see the movie. If theres no strong female character that beats every male ever with no practice then why go?

The movie thankfully didn’t give in to Mary Sue. Did you want it to so you’d have something to complain about?

Also don't forget having stronger bones and muscles and shit whilst being a 155cm 45kg girl with thin neck and still withstanding the g forces better than seasoned drivers.

I'm sure Dysney has enough dough to waste and enough activists on their payroll for your dreams to come true !

It's not really a GT movie. There's nothing distinct in GT to base a movie on because GT itself is based on reality. I think associating it with GT is just an advertising schtick by Sony.

@@divinecomedian2 Agreed. Thinking back GT has nothing to make a movie off. 🤔

@@umbrellacorp. Obviously, Kazunori-san set out to create a simulator and that's exactly what he did. Still been a long time coming when you think how many of us would have lapped up a chance like that 20 or 25 years ago when we were playing GT3..... 😉

It really is a foreign concept now a days

I participated in the first trials in GT5. Didn't get anywhere near close, but I usually won the prize cars. Haha using my GT force wheel and peddles.

See even us Arcade racers can enjoy a good relatively realistic car film…

after seeing this, I want a movie around Burnout with a story.. even a generic story will be fine if that movie will have a burnout crashing physics.

@@yuvraajsinha That should be next in the docket at some point, we are after all, the "Racing Generation".... if you get it you get it If not it is in reference to a mishearing of a lyric from Burnout 3's title sequence song call "We are the Lazy Generation" by the FUPS.

I still feel a connection to the blonde passenger all these years later! 😅👍🤝

You like seeing movies where everything is predictable, then?

Yep. There's a reason these pro drivers use simulators to train and even compete. Heck, Max Verstappen is the first athlete to win a championship in his sport AND the digital version of his sport.

How you will explain gaining positions on straight by main character like he had nitro or obviously stronger car, when all racers used GTRs. Joke movie, it have nothing common with racing except cars and commercials, same like actors in this film with racing. But yeah they added countdown sound from OG game so all good ...

Main character been pushed from track and guy finished a race without penalty - nice place to learn race driving

@@Dar1usz Can you explain why you can't gain a position on a straight in GT?

@@Dar1uszSo you don’t like the film cuz you a car nerd. That has nothing to do with this comment about Sim Driving. You just wanted to hate on someone else in the same profession who has a different opinion. What a sad life.

Same, a teenager playing video games then deciding to do push-ups as part of a training montage making it trying to seem "epic"

​@@nameless.greyceoI mean it's literally a true story

It's just Drinker's opinion lol. Most people-including you-might or might not agree.

@@derp_wolf9688 good point, a movie about most losers these days who never worked hard or pushed themselves to achieve anything worthwhile, run a mile then do some pushups and play some video games, riveting. I suppose they can make anything look good if they film it right and add a good soundtrack.

Yep pretty much.

You are aware the writers of THIS film are on strike too, right?

@mattandrews2594 yes that is true but it does give way and shed light on the demanding need for new and fresh talent. that where pushed out or not given a chance to bring something new because the intitled one's got there way

@@gamingJ1701-oo1kj Not that fresh. The writers have many credits. There goes your not well researched take. 😆

Man, I can't play these kinds of games for nothin but I'd be down for that kind of challenge. That sounds sick

Whoa, I'm not into racing games almost at all, but that's actually a really neat thing to be featured in a game.

Which game had those challenges, may I ask? I had GT6 and I remember seeing something like that

This movie is a crap, on straight main character is gaining positions like he had a nitro burst or clearly stronger car, who cares they all used same cars [ Nissan GTRs ], 3 races finished with difference around 0.0000005s to make adrenaline rush in 2 hours movie made me laugh, Bloom is literally asleep in film, and obvoius scenario. Stupid commercial movie, you can check it out but you will be dissapointed for sure. Sounds from og games in this movie cannot cover bad acting, scenario and stupid ideas to develop main character.

@@Dar1usz I think you ignore how licences goes... You dont just put any cars you want in your movie. thats why in some racing games there are almost no damages to cars, cause the manufacturers dont allow it in their licence. There are rules and limitations my guy. Beside, the story wasnt mainly about the race, but the journey to get there. It wasnt a racing movie but more of a drama how a gamer became racing car driver. And yeah hes car had nitro, you think they were going to be replaying a real life racing car event? its a movie and these guys are actors drivers experts. And yeah it was nissan cars cause the guy whose story is based on was actually driving with nissan. So getting a licence from nissan with their cars was basically easier. Its all about licences. Thats same with video games. Thats why you dont see much soccer games or basketball games other than the big names, cause you need licence and licence comes with constraints

@@Dar1usz He was a Nissan driver. The competition used r35s. He raced the r35 gt3.

Its a cringe fest, main character is gaining positions on straight like he had nitro or stronger car, when all been in same group and specs, he won by 0.00005 s 3 times in 2 hrs long movie, hes been literally pushed from track by opponent, and race continued like nothing happened, of course guy who made a collision finished a race without penalty. Commercial movie for nissans, sony and other brands, like u wrote - cringe fest. But see it on your own eyes if you are a real driver - you will be surspised how stupid this movie is.

Its a bad movie bro, trust me, drinker only likes it bc its not "woke"

Holy **** nice racing Mike !!! U got a new fan !!!

I've seen it and it's not bad. Not breaking new ground or anything like that. I can't comment on if the racing is realistic since I don't know anything about it, but it's not bad. Is it good? That's up to you.

​​​@@mjl11 then why don't you like it? Because honestly it just comes off as a refreshing attempt at entertainment, doesn't have to be groundbreaking or 10/10 if it achieves its goal.

In fact, he even cites a flaw with this movie as the girlfriend isn't active enough in the narrative, that's like the opposite of "woke" critique sentiment lmao
