F1: The Movie (2025) – Blu-ray Review

Warner Bros. | 2025 | Rated PG-13 | Runtime: ~155 min
Genres: Action • Sports • Drama

Video Quality — 4 / 5

This Blu-ray uses the same 4K master as the UHD but without HDR. The result is a clean, high-bitrate 1080p encode with superb clarity for standard HD setups.

• Fine details in cars, helmets, and crowd shots remain impressively sharp.
• Color reproduction is accurate, though naturally flatter than the Dolby Vision version.
• Shadows are a little more compressed, but still stable with no crush or noise.
• Motion is smooth with no compression artifacts.

Overall, this is one of the best-looking Blu-rays Warner has authored for a modern film — crisp, cinematic, and perfectly clean.

Audio Quality — 4.5 / 5

The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix is excellent and maintains much of the Atmos mix’s intensity.

• Engines and crowd ambience are wide and immersive.
• Dialogue remains perfectly balanced and clear.
• Surrounds carry racing effects and music cues with punch and clarity.
• Low-end presence is deep and consistent without distortion.

While it loses the overhead precision of the 4K’s Atmos track, this is still reference-level 5.1 for Blu-ray.

Special Features — 4 / 5

Same strong lineup as the 4K set:

• The Sound of Speed
• Making It to Silverstone
• The Anatomy of a Crash
• APXGP Innovations
• Lewis Hamilton: Producer Perspective
• Cast and Crew Featurettes
• Trailer Gallery

All presented in HD with optional subtitles.

⚖️ Overall — 4.5 / 5 ⭐

Warner’s Blu-ray of F1: The Movie is an outstanding disc — sleek visuals, impactful audio, and a thorough extras package. The 4K remains the definitive edition, but this Blu-ray easily ranks among the best HD presentations of 2025.
