Finally got around to watching Rush last night. What a massive disappointment. That movie belongs in the same bin as Fast and Furious and Driven when it comes to racing movies. The score was horrid, the racing cinematography as cliched and brainless as Torque. Vroooom, blur, 50 quick cuts, vrooom, shifting, gas pedal stop, shifting, vrooom, blluuuuuurrrrr. Jesus, why even bother using the real cars in the movie if it is just a CG copy and paste of a Fast and Furious movie. My absolute favorite was how zero effort was put into the continuity or accuracy of the on track footage. "Hunt takes the lead into turn 1" but shows turn 8 or 9. Shows them racing each other, turns are all out of order. And the best, Lauda leaving the pits a few seconds behind hunt at Nurburgring and it shows Hunt going around Carousell as Lauda leaves the pits. Haha, thank god I didn't drop the money to see this garbage in the theater. Ron Howard was so proud of the accuracy of Apollo 13, using the original training modules, blah blah. Just says fuck it because it is race cars, vroom vroom the audience is stupid they won't know.
