Gran Turismo fans react to the film’s first trailer

THE Gran Turismo The film’s trailer has garnered a wide range of reactions from fans here on the GTPlanet forums, with opinions ranging from excitement to disappointment.

A recurring sentiment, like that of @ICEYOU3, is that the movie feels “cheesy” or cliché. Some users have expressed a desire for a more grounded approach, similar to movies like Ford versus Ferrari Or Rush. @JackRyanWMU, for example, shared his disappointment that the Gran Turismo movie wasn’t more grounded, saying, “I was hoping the Gran Turismo movie was going to be something more grounded like Ford v Ferrari or Rush; and instead it seems to be F&F on closed circuits.

However, others found the trailer to be better than they expected, with @Seikenfreak saying it’s “more of a real movie and better than I expected”. He thinks it will appeal to a younger audience who might be inspired by the story from gamer to runner. @MagpieRacer also enjoyed the trailer, expressing surprise at some of the backlash the movie received and saying, “I think it’s a good premise to base a movie on and it seems to have been done pretty well.”

Another common theme is concern over the portrayal of gamers and the gaming community in the film. Users criticized the stereotype of gamers as “98-pound weaklings” and suggested that the film could have told the story of a gamer becoming a runner without resorting to such cliches.

The fact that the film is based on a true story also drew mixed reviews. Some users, like @Mr ZX, liked the relatability it brings to the film, stating that being based on a true story “gives it weight and relatability”. However, others were more concerned with inaccuracies and the possibility of the film straying too far from the actual events.

@ScottPye20 reminded people not to nitpick over such details, as the film is “base on a true story” and not an appropriate narrative. He said: “I don’t care if the ‘wrong’ vehicles are used, because that doesn’t take away from the story. This is the most important part, so if you’re going to nitpick, you’re just preventing yourself from enjoying the movie for what it is.

The film’s potential as a marketing tool for Gran Turismo video games was also discussed, with @sh33p stating that the film looks “better than I imagined, but not good enough to watch in rooms”. He added that “the film is ultimately a very expensive publicity campaign for the GT series”. While this aspect of the film didn’t appeal to everyone, others acknowledged that it could be a smart approach from Sony’s perspective.

The unique story that Gran Turismo can say was also a point of interest. @hollowkatt found the film to be a “super interesting story to tell”, adding that “it feels meaningful, especially as more and more Sim Racers get invitations to participate in real-life races and make a job out of it. decent.” They felt the Gran Turismo The film has the potential to inspire people in ways that other game franchises cannot.

Despite the various criticisms and concerns, many fans have expressed their intention to watch the film at some point, whether in theaters or on streaming platforms. @Seikenfreak said, “I’m sure there’s a younger audience out there that’s really going to like this and it’ll probably impact them. I’ll watch it eventually. @sh33p echoed that sentiment, saying he would watch the movie when it comes to a streaming platform.

The general consensus seems to be one of cautious optimism, with fans hoping for an entertaining and meaningful addition to the Gran Turismo universe. @enthusia shared her hope for minimal melodramatic cliches in the film, saying, “I know you have to dramatize the story a bit to appeal to mainstream audiences, but I’d just rather it didn’t end up being a scared town.” He added that despite some obvious parts, there is still hope for the film.

Clearly the Gran Turismo The film’s trailer drew a lot of reactions, including concerns about the shots, player portrayal, true story aspect, and the film’s potential as a marketing tool. Despite the mixed opinions, many fans remain cautiously optimistic as they await our next look at the film.
