The enjoyment of watching the racers go into death-defying speeds of madness are equally as pleasurable to watch alongside government military interventions sending massive armies, insane weapons, and crazy secret weapons at them and unexpectedly opening up dangerous areas that result in increasingly insane stunts and actions within the races. This film is simply Sci-fi speed racing done completely right. It was absolutely worth it! The film uses these serious backgrounds and build-ups for some of the most stunning and hilarious Sci-fi conflicts in an intergalactic race. Instead, there was a really good and often subtle worldbuilding that offered a massive punch within the framework of the main plot.
I had expected some forced plot point to ruin the flow of the film, but it never happened. Nothing is taken away from the utter rush of the Red Line race. Most importantly, there’s no stereotypical bad guy in the race so nothing within the race is meant to fit a boring narrative of fighting evil. Each of the background characters have their own goals and motivations so none of the actions feel contrived at all. It had explosive twists in the literal sense of the term within the context of the story and I felt it was done surprisingly well. The film stunned me with its brilliant use of using what felt like realistic politics to then offer some of the most hilarious and fast-paced action sequences from the use of such politics. The worldbuilding for why the upcoming Red Line will be particularly dangerous compared to its previous races and the government responses felt surprisingly well-written and believable. The story keeps it engaging enough that I felt I was rooting for both characters during the Red Line race and felt mixed feelings about either one of them losing the Red Line race as the set-up was being shown to the viewer. In particular, I really like the character build-up for the two main characters, JP and Sonoshee from their conversations, to their background motivations, and to their goals. This film succeeds in delivery, characterization, worldbuilding, and the fantasy Sci-fi elements of the story. The Yellow Line race and Red Line race completely take the cake with the amazing experience of this film because they keep you invested for both races.
