If you are an Apple TV user (it will no longer be called Apple TV+), you are in luck, and Apple will finally release the F1 movie for free for its subscribers, without having to pay specifically for it or go to the cinema to see it, as a reasonable amount of time has passed for it to be added to the catalogue.
It is true that many people have already been able to see it on the big screen, or by renting it online, however, if you are one of those who do not need to see the premieres first, you will now have the option of being able to watch it quietly in your bed, even though there are still a few weeks left for that.
F1, the movie: premiere on Apple TV
The long-awaited movie F1: The Movie coming to Apple TV next December 12. The platform, which until now was called Apple TV+, changes its name before the premiere of this film, we do not know if intentionally or by chance. It is directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer along with driver Lewis Hamilton (the real one), the film has Brad Pitt as the protagonist, playing a veteran driver who decides to return to Formula 1 to help a young racer and, in the process, heal wounds from the past.
It was released in theaters on June 27and it was a total success. It surpassed the 629 million dollars at the box office, becoming the most watched sports movie of the year and Apple's highest-grossing production so far. After its run in theaters and a re-release in August, it will finally reach homes through streaming. It has taken longer than expected, but its success justifies it, since they wanted to stretch it as much as possible.
One of the details that has caught the most attention is the level of realism. Much of the filming was done during real Formula 1 races, with cameras mounted on the cars themselves and full access to the circuits. That mix of authentic action and human drama has been one of the keys to its good reception among critics and fans, even from people who do not follow this sport. Furthermore, the fact that there are real drivers, among whom we will see, even if only in passing, Carlos Sainz, makes it look more interesting, since they would not be actors simulating driving.
The success has been so great that, according to several reports, Apple would be interested in going further and buy broadcast rights to Formula 1 in the United States. If confirmed, it would be an important step to reinforce its commitment to sports content and global entertainment. Currently, they already have some other sport, and I wish this would reach everyone, because unlike the MLS and other American leagues, F1 is something that is seen all over the world.
And you, have you already seen this movie? It is true that there would still be 2 months left to see it, but at least we already have a fixed date, so the wait will be shorter. If you've never tried Apple TV, you have one 7 day free trialalthough if you wait until that week, you can see it for free. If you renew it, it would be 9.90 euros per month, not expensive if we consider that we can share it with 5 more people as a family.
