F1: The Movie 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Sponsored by Shark / Ninja™.

Reviewed by Randy Miller III October 9, 2025

Released alongside their separate standard 4K and Blu-ray editions, Warner Bros. also offers a Steelbook combo pack of Joseph Kosinski's racing drama F1 The Movie. Assuming you can still find a copy, the obvious benefits include deluxe packaging and having both formats in one package, but otherwise all on-disc contents are identical.

For separate synopses and write-ups about the main feature, please see either my recent 4K review or take a quick gander at Brian Orndorf's slightly more favorable theatrical coverage. In short, we both mostly liked it.

For separate coverage of the 2160p/HDR10/Dolby Vision and 1080p/SDR transfers, please see my reviews of the standard 4K and Blu-ray editions. Both are very good to outstanding efforts for their respective formats.

F1: The Movie 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

As seen above, this two-disc release ships in matte-finish Steelbook packaging that's surprisingly monochromatic but nonetheless striking. The front cover depicts Sonny's F1 car mid-race at a dynamic angle with illustrative scratches and speed lines to heighten the illusion of motion with the spot-gloss logo placed overhead, whereas the back sports a more traditional image of Sonny in full racing gear holding his helmet. Meanwhile, the interior spread features a driver's-view glimpse of the action in full color, while both discs sit on overlapping hubs on the right. It's perhaps not the most eye-catching or creative design in recent memory, but still a decent effort that should appeal to fans.

On-disc extras are varied in subject matter, but all of them are far too short with a disappointing surface-level sheen. They're identical on both discs and covered more fully in my reviews of the 4K and Blu-ray editions.

F1: The Movie 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

Joseph Kosinski's F1 The Movie ain't rocket surgery, but it's perhaps the most technically proficient racing movie ever made... and for that alone, it'll absolutely thrill fans of the sport. Those looking for in-depth character development and a carefully written original script won't get either of those things, but they might end up having fun too. Warner Bros.' 4K and Blu-ray offer great to outstanding technical merits, with the UHD edition obviously getting a comfortable win, while both share the road in this preferred Steelbook combo pack. Firmly Recommended to the right crowd.
