Gran Turismo captures a truly remarkable young man and his journey to professional legitimacy. This is for anyone needing a jolt to the system and focusing on getting back on one’s true path in life.
Gran Turismo, a spectacular new racing film from the Oscar-nominated writer and director Neill Blomkamp, wisely sidesteps the pitfalls of many dreadful screen outings (often from the perennial game-ruiner Uwe Boll) by finding a big-hearted human-interest story to better explore the racing environment.

Living the dream. Triumpth over adversity. Feel good factor. The highest of stakes. All based off a true story. Which makes this all kind of amazing a gamer did all this and endured all this to git gud at the real thing. Very inspiring and inspirational sports movie for sure.

What the film lacks in connective tissue, it makes up for in sheer vibes.
Gran Turismo is a piece of salesmanship that never stops selling — the movie constantly reminds us how much the real races resemble the accurate simulation of the game, and even the Sony Walkman gets a fair amount of screen time — but the vroom-vroom of it all delivers enough adrenaline and character-building to make this a solidly entertaining piece of late-summer cinema.
Great racing sequences aside, it’s so clichéd and unadventurous that it makes its source material seem deep by comparison.
In the end, Gran Turismo can't escape the feeling of being actively held back at every turn — by the confines of video game conventions, by a painfully trope-laden script, or simply by the fact that everything this video game movie wants to achieve has already been done better before.
Commerce contaminates the whole endeavour.
Your typical underdog story. I personally just think that if you saw one of these movies you know the plot for the rest of them. It's also really confzsing that of all the franchises Playstation has they decided to adapt gran turismo as the second one? I mean, did they really expect that many people to show up to see "car from gran turismo" on the big screen (I'm kidding of course but I just mean that gran turismo as a movie in general is a silly idea and it was never going to be a big success). There are some cool shots here and there that embrace the spirit of the games and it's entertaining enough. Some plot points aren't fleshed out that well. At least it's better than the uncharted movie.

Is it relatively faithful to the real-life story of Jann Mardenborough? Sure, but the film lacks heart. There's nothing that makes you invested in what is happening. We just go through the predictable motions with unlikable characters as the movie tries to force us to care about what is going on. It's not even that it is a bad film, it's just lifeless. We've been through something like this far too many times before.
