Re the buzz from the movie, I think there will be an upsurge in interest in the GTR, but I don't believe the audience for this movie has the funds that translate into sales for Nissan though. The biggest reaction I receive on my Nismo and T-spec are from Highschool / college kids manning the valet stands at restaurants and at the bag drops at golf clubs. They dig these more than the average Porsche, but that does not translate into sales unfortunately for Nissan. Hopefully it does. Any good buzz helps.

Even if there is a demand, Nissan isn't making enough to fulfill them.

I saw it

what I liked about it first and foremost it was as advertised it really felt like GTR NISMO the movie. really had that car on full display. It was mostly true to the real story and even dealt with the Nürburgring crash. the GTR sounds were mostly accurate and didnt swap the VR38 out for some exotic sound. Actor who played Jann was good. I thought it tried to give very casual movie goers an intro to the game and motorsports in general.

What I didnt like is the script and dialogue were really paint by numbers after school special. At times it felt like you asked ChatGPT to write a gran turismo movie. had a lot of mellow drama cliche in it. not sure orlando bloom and david harbour were the right casting choices. also Kaz from GT didnt play himself. seems like and odd choice. some parts were unrealistic for the sake of making a better movie because sometimes motorsports at that level isnt wheel to wheel photo finish as the movie depicts it had some heart but even with the big action race scenes it kind of felt like something you would catch on a streaming service and had the same general beats and arc of every inspirational sports movie ever made


Other random thoughts were the musical choices were odd as there are so many iconic Gran Turismo songs that were ignored and Nissan sort of comes off like a shadowy corporation


biggest annoyance is the camera shots of the foot work pressing the gas when the gears change like your watching fast and furious almost like its a fake clutch sound with it, ... when in reality you are more times than not flat footing the throttle during a paddle shift in the GTR


Seeing my favorite car of all time center stage outweighed any real nitpicks I had. would recommend if you are a GTR and NISMO fan

Except for the storyline, everything you mentioned gives off a Fast and the Furious Vibe which got me really excited as a young kid. On that note as an older slightly matured kid, I'm so gonna be in the theaters watching this.

So as a way older "kid", I am going to have to get my sons to go with me I guess?

yeah its a fun movie and if you are a GTR guy you have to go just on principle alone. im kind of a movie buff so I probably over analyze it but yeah its worth a watch. I grew up on Gran turismo and even tried the online GT Academy thing lol

One thing I noticed is during the GT academy scenes they used mostly 2020+ GTR NISMOs but a couple of the GTRs were like premiums but with the NISMO wing

Budget cuts lol

Why not. I will be doing that too with mine. Maybe I should see how their attention span is first by letting them watch the fast and the furious with me.

I saw the movie tonight and really liked. Pretty realistic, unlike the F & F movies. And there were a ton of GTR's in this movie. Very cool to see.
