Well I didn't realise Neill Blomkamp directed this movie so that was a nice surprise. Some may assume this is another video game movie adaptation however it actually opts for a story based on real life which breathes something fresher into the movie. I'm not even a fan of any racing game (other than MarioKart on the original Wii - there is no other for me) however the movie was able to take this true life story and deliver an occasionally touching and rousing movie. Add in a solid cast GT manages to rise above the typical package tropes of this type of a movie and deliver a well paced enjoyable underdog sporting/gaming film for both types of fan.
