F1 Driver and the Four

 Friday: The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

      Four astronauts were exposed to cosmic rays in space and came back with superpowers. They quickly became Earth's heroes. Then a herald, Silver Surfer, brings a message to Earth. The god she serves, Galactus, is headed for them and will consume their world. The Fantastic Four have to figure out a way to stop him and save Earth. I thought this movie was good. It is set in futuristic 60s. A lot was done practically as far as sets and all that. Which I appreciate. Finally a good Fantastic Four movie. One of their main enemies, in the comics, is the new villain for the upcoming Avengers movies.  So it will be interesting to see how they come to be with the other Avengers. I guess that's where the multiverse comes into play.

Saturday: Lost in Starlight (2025)

      This is a Korean animated film. It is about a young scientist, Nan-young, who's mother was an astronaut. Her mom died in an accident on Mars when Nan-young was little. Now as an adult she is preparing for a trip to Mars. She meets a musician, Jay, who fixes her mom's record player for her. They start to spend a lot of time together and fall for each other. Then Nan-young has to go on her mission to Mars. They do their best to stay in contact while she is gone. This movie was alright. Cute story.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Saturday: F1: The Movie (2025)

         Sonny is former F1 race car driver who has fallen on hard times. He still races anywhere he can. He is approached by an old friend, Ruben, who used to race with him. Ruben now owns an F1 racing team in England. He wants Sonny to come race for him and mentor his rookie driver, Joshua. Sonny reluctantly agrees. Ruben's team is in trouble. They have yet to win, and if they don't by the end of the season the team will be sold. Sonny could be their last chance. He and Joshua don't get along at first. The team's car is not up to par. Slowly with Sonny's help things start to turn around. I thought this movie was good. Better than I thought it would be. I didn't realize how much strategy goes into racing. The movie was very intelligent and well done.
