Speed Racer

Speed Racer is a natural behind the wheel. Born to race cars, Speed is aggressive, instinctive and, most of all, fearless. His only real competition is the memory of the brother he idolized—the legendary Rex Racer—whose death in a race has left behind a legacy that Speed is driven to fulfill.

Speedracer trailer

Pops Racer: You think you can drive a car and change the world? It doesn't work like that!
Speed: Maybe not, but it's the only thing I know how to do and I gotta do something

Before going into the cinema, I had just expected the movie would bring me a lot of special effects and I like watching special effects... think how amazing the latest state-of-art technology can turn virtual imagination into reality.  After I have watched it, technology was not the only thing amused me, the movie was good!  It's was a story about strong family bonding, brother to brother relationship etc.
