F9 The Fast Saga- A Nod to the Past and Link to the Future

I must admit that I have been very anxious to see F9, as an action movie junkie the F&F series has provided movie goers with some classic moments. I could only imagine what visually amazing scenes awaited in this edition. It’s great to see the gang all back together as Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel and Jordana Brewster all return to reprise their roles in the franchise.

The movie starts out with the origin story of Dom, his brother Jakob (Played by John Cena) and their father who is a struggling NASCAR driver. The begining does great job of setting the scene for the entire film.

Because of their past the relationship between the brothers is rocky to say the least, but the one thing they have in common that connects them throughout the movie is their love for cars, both Dom and Jakob are highly skilled drivers and the skill they show during F9 is amazing! Like its predecessors F9 doesn’t lack in technology and weaponry. The use of highly powerful magnets throughout the movie was dope and the “brothers in space” segment of the movie will have you laughing out loud. If you love classic cars the Dodge Chargers in F9 are simply beautiful.

My Thoughts on F9 – The Fast Saga:

In my opinion there are a few negative points about the F9 – The Fast Saga. The writing was predictable and the plot was choppy, but the twist in the movie far outweigh the negatives. If you followed the series then know they amount of characters that have come through F&F universe, they will ALL make an appearce in one way or other! The nostalgia is a cool feeling as a follower of the movie franchise. There are some really cool surprises that I wont ruin for you here.

Overall it is hard to keep reinventing this movie franchise over and over again, but F9- The Fast Saga does a cool job of keeping the movie series relevant. With over 600 millions dollars in sales worldwide there is talk of fast and furious 10. To it doesn’t stack up to the classics like F3, F9, and Tokyo Drift but it’s respectable and worth checking out.
