AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
robmccrea Journey to Le Mans is a documentary presenting team Jota's quest to win Le Mans in the LMP2 division.Much of the race footage is presented in slow motion, and the melodramatic soundtrack is unrelenting. These aspects betray the innate excitement of high-speed racing. The film doesn't even present a summary of the race in any desirable form. I have to believe an under-produced bland documentary would have been much more interesting.What it does somewhat well is profile the drivers of team Jota. The raw footage is top-notch, alas the actually racing clips are very short.My one word summary would be "boring", which is a very unfortunate description of the pinnacle of high-speed auto racing.
Alessandro Longoni This looks like a movie paid by the team itself. Not for petrol heads, as it fails to show the interesting aspects of motor sport, which usually doesn't happen on the racetrack. Eg: a huge crash destroys the car 2 weeks before a big race. 30 seconds explanation of "how we got our s**t back together and rebuilt the car"...well, that's quite an accomplishment to dig deeper in, no? why skipping?Also: - plenty of scenes are repeated. Cheap way of filling time? Don't show me driver #1 entering a corner, overtaking that blue car, then going in the pits to change the driver, then to see driver #2 overtake the same car in the same spot. If you used the same shot twice in 3 minutes i will notice and get annoyed. Then I write a review about the movie because you're wasting my time and i'm bitter. - the music chosen sounds like it was bought at Walmart (or Lidl in Europe). If you want to make a serious movie you can't cheap out on this.These aspects really ruin a movie which I was looking forward to see, and will ruin to you too.
John Chavez If you are a car guy skip on this film. The are so many repetitive scenes that it just makes you wonder who put this together. They show the same scene 6 times. How is that possible when you telling a story. The producer cuts from one angle to another and you don't really get to see or enjoy a slow motion shot and on top of that they put a sound effect that clearly doesn't belong but, to make it worse its the same sound effect they just used 3 minutes ago. Also they talk about crashes but fail to show you it and skip to a person talking about it. We want to see the whole scene. Don't tell us what and how it happened, SHOW US. It was poorly thought out and will just get us car guys angry. All you had to do was end the movie with the car going around La'Sarthe for a whole lap and we would of been happy.
Kevin Arnold This was the perfect look into Le Mans. It wasn't a boring thing just talking tech like others I have seen made for TV, this had the cinema shots that made it feel like a film, while it was real and based in reality, the repetitive hard reality that took the view of the whole team. Nice to see it made by an indie most of these things are business things for corporates, this felt like a team of guys who just loved to race, meant more because of it. Seeing Le Mans from the inside when as a fan I have only seen it from the outside is very cool. It may not be one to watch with the girlfriend but for anyone who wants to see stunning cars and a team of nice guys pushing hard, Its a must see IMO. Will be watching again.
