The racing drama F1: The Movie was a bonafide old school summer blockbuster in the vein of Top Gun: Maverick, which isn’t surprising since both films were directed by Joseph Kosinski. In fact, it has grossed over $600 million at the box office, making it the biggest hit of Brad Pitt’s career, and the first major hit produced by Apple Original Films. While it’s best viewed on an IMAX screen, we have no doubt that you’re going to want to watch this film on your big screen TV at home as well. To do that in the best quality possible, there’s a 4K Blu-ray release that you need to check out.

Note that the early October release date for F1: The Movie on Blu-ray means that it’s likely that Apple will begin to stream the film on Apple TV+ at some point in late October or early November. However, this is definitely a film that’s worth owning, especially if you don’t plan on subscribing or maintaining a subscription to Apple TV+ in the foreseeable future.
Honestly, we’re surprised this physical release is even happening with Apple TV subscriptions hanging in the balance, but we’re certainly happy with the decision.
