felt like i was transported back to the pre-2020s. sure there was progressive stuff, but it wasn't so heavy-handed that it took me out of the film.
the action, dialogue and sound were good. solid IMAX recommend

Does any of the movie take place at Silverstone? I live near there, I know almost nothing about f1 but I think Silverstone is big thing in that world?

silverstone is heavily featured.
if you want to know more about formula 1 (or just get hyped up for the film) watch "drive to survive" on netflix.

I'd rather throw myself under an F1 car in full inertia then learn more about it lmao but thanks anyway. I am just interested in people or things that are in or close to my home lol.
There was a comedian who once told a joke that pretty much sums up why I am not a fan, If i find it i will post it

yeah, just watch it in an IMAX type theater if possible to maximize your experience.

And part of my dislike comes from having to watch it sometimes throughout my life because family and friends were into it and there was only one TV lol. I spent a lot of my life having to watch it when not interested.

Definite Top Gun Maverick vibes.
Not surprising since it's a Bruckheimer film

This is a Hollywood film. Do you think they're going to push something like people settling down and starting a family?
Of course not. They need grist for the mill and they're going to push a lifestyle that allows the world to chew you up and spit you out when you aren't useful anymore.
