F1 Movie Now Out, In Case You Missed Apple's Ads All Over Your iPhone

[lkrupp]

Killers of the Flower Moon and F1: The Movie are both super well received

Remember these are MacRumors forums where negativity and outrage rules.

Wait people watch F1 racing here in the US?

I just assumed the title referenced some minor tornado rolling through some small midwestern town.

Capturing the incredible, heart-pounding excitement of cars going vroom using his iPhone®.

And just like the majority of the people who watch the real life F1 races, everyone going to watch the movie in the theater cares only about the crashes.

Imagine listening to RT “critics”.

I only referred RT in response to the image posted that was from RT.

This is such a non-issue. I think Apple has made a lot of great content, and they should be promoting it.

And let´s not forget that Apple already won an Oscar for Best Picture... Something Netflix has been chasing and dreaming for years!

Wait...there's a new movie about F1 starring Brad Pitt???

-bdd

And he got a paycheck for $20M too

 

[jontalk5]

While I haven't seen it YET I plan to..in the meantime the new Billy Crystal series, "Before" is outstanding!

I was showing specific reviews that showed my feelings.

So, cherry picking? Isn´t cherry picking to choose something selectively? My mother tongue isn't English, so I could be wrong.

 

[dypeterc]

I wasn't cherry picking.
I was sharing reviews that echo my own feelings.

This is the definition of cherry picking

My Apple Pay doesn't show me ads.

I didn’t get the wallet notification about that movie. I’ll wait for the sequel: F2

 

[Student of Life]

I didnt get the Ad but just saw F1. It’s a very good sports movie, fun and entertaining for sure.

 

[t0rqx]

Ironic, there were complaint about users getting spammed on their iPhone about this movie. Just in case people who didnt get spammed now get the spam via Macrumors?

We also booked for 4DX for this sat, just to see what it would be like. It really made a difference you feel?

Absolutely - occasionally a little too much, but overall definitely adds to the experience - just hold on to your popcorn during the 'on the track' moments! 😂 Seeing your later post, it will certainly keep you awake!

This is the definition of cherry picking

Cherry picking traditionally has a negative connotation.
I really wasn't trying to cast the movie in an objective negative light is what I meant I guess..

(The reviews I was highlighting weren't actually all negative if read in their entirety)

Anyhow -- moving on.

You will love the 4DX. My wife had no idea and thought she might nap, lol. That didnt happen. It makes you feel like you are driving to an extent, almost like a mini roller coaster at times, the rumbles vibrations, the flashes for the fireworks. This is that way to see it if possible.

Apple has Oscars, Netflix has viewers... Some of the Apple acclaimed TV shows are absolute garbage with very low ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. For example, The Morning Show has rating 33%.

Snarky title is snarky. But valid.

 

[sevenless]

The last time Apple promoted something this heavily, everyone ended up with the U2 album on their devices for years and years.

 

[Naraxus]

Because it's my Wallet app!

Apple -- GTFO with ADs for your movie in my Wallet!

You're getting this worked up over an ad?

 

[Candlelight]

My sons saw it today. Said it was a good film.

 

[flexwithmarius]

This is such a non-issue. If a tiny ad bothers I'd posit you have bigger issues going on somewhere.

Give anyone the chance to complain about a big company and they will.

If this becomes a real problem in the future, I’ll flip the switch to kill all Wallet ads and be done with it. I don’t need anyone throwing the whataboutisms at me, let’s see how Apple responds to the criticism and then act accordingly like adults.

Apple assuredly can see how many people have disabled notifications thru anonymous aggregated metrics and will adapt their future marketing strategies accordingly.

 

[XboxEvolved]

I don’t see the big deal. I also don’t recall seeing the ads either though.

It’s basically the F1 version of Top Gun Maverick.

Which is exactly the reason I will wait for the F1 to come to streaming. And for me to be slightly drunk.

I loved the original Top Gun and heard good things about the Maverick. After watching it I was like “that was some silly ass movie and not in the good way as the first”.

But I am glad that Apple seems to have a hit on their hands, I do like ATV+ and this is good for the service so it’s good for me.

The Morning Show is a strange case for me. Watched the first season and did not understand why people thought it was great. It was barely ok.

Watched the second season and somehow managed to finish the flaming dumpster fire that it was.

For some reason watched the third season and actually kind of liked it. 🤷🏻‍♂️
