If you haven't watched the movie yet then don't read on because those of us which have will probably
spoil it
Bought the 4K blu ray and watched today. I think they did a good job ret-conning Dominics brother and Hans revival. The movie itself wasn't as 'thrilling' as the 8th installment (which I watched yesterday to catch up), but this was still one hell of a ride and entertaining to watch. What made the 8th one cool that I think this one missed was a close and menacing antagonist. I know Jakob was kinda like that here but he was never one anyone expected or wanted to be killed. The 8th one had that 'red headed boyfriend' of Cipher. One look at him and you just wanted to kill him yourself lol
Each movie tries to reach new heights of absurdity and they did this here going into space! Was a literal blast. Branson and Bozo's ride looks lame now lol. Also love how they got the protagonist from F3 Tokyo Drift to play a central (even if brief) part.
I've seen a bit of hate on this online. Some people seem to have gone in the theatre expecting some logical, true to life, realistic looking movie. Personally I love these movies that dont take themselves seriously. I have to say though, this movie probably had our protagonists rack up quite the innocent body count!
Hell yeah, I'd watch this again. The mid credits scene was pretty interesting too.
And apparently there is at least another 2 in the works
I'm also hoping Hobbs and Shaw get a sequel. I loved the antagonist in that one
