Ford v Ferrari

Set in the 1960s this is the car equivalent of the Race to the Moon, a bunch a clean-cut white Americans with a lofty goal, money to spend, and an enemy across the Atlantic.  Ford Motor Company needs a hit and comes up with a goal to enter European racing.  The big prize, 24 Hours of LeMans.  They turn to former champ Carroll Shelby and give him a blank check to Git R Done.

Speaking of Larry the Cable Guy, this ended up being like a live action remake of Disney Pixar Cars, with Carroll Shelby playing Lightning McQueen and Christian Bale as Mater.

The live action looked good at some point, but the CGI just didn't translate back into the 1960s setting.  The colors reminded me of La La Land, along with the strange ending.  I almost didn't make it through to see the end.

Not nearly as good as others thought.
