F1 (Film) Showtimes Ireland: Cinemas, Tickets & Times

Brad Pitt’s F1 film drops in Irish cinemas on June 27, 2025 — but if you prefer streaming to premium formats, the wait for home viewing could stretch well into 2026. Here is where to catch the racing drama now and when to expect it on Apple TV+.

Director: Joseph Kosinski · Lead Actor: Brad Pitt · Genre: Sports drama · Theatrical Release: June 27, 2025 · Filmed For: IMAX

The table below consolidates the essential details for anyone planning to see F1 in a cinema or tracking its release trajectory.

Where can I see the new F1 film?

If you’re ready to watch F1 on the biggest screen available, ODEON Cinemas has you sorted. The chain offers the film in IMAX format at selected Irish venues, with ODEON Point Square in Dublin confirmed to carry the movie. ODEON describes the IMAX experience as “the fastest cinematic experience of 2025,” which tells you something about the visual scale they’re aiming for.

Cineworld Dublin takes a different approach — it’s a 17-screen cinema on Parnell Street in Dublin 1, sitting roughly one minute from the Jervis Street LUAS stop. That central location makes it easy to reach without a car. The Parnell Centre underneath has 500 parking spaces available if you do drive, though the LUAS connection is the more convenient option for city-centre visitors.

For audiences in counties beyond Dublin, ODEON operates cinemas across Ireland and has booking available through its official website. The ODEON page for F1 includes film trailers, runtime information, and the ability to secure seats in advance rather than risk walking up on the night.

“F1 at IMAX is the fastest cinematic experience of 2025.”

Dublin cinema venues showing F1

• ODEON Point Square — City centre, IMAX option available
• Cineworld Dublin — 17 screens, Parnell Street, city centre
• Omniplex Dublin Rathmines — 9 screens, Rathmines area
• Vue Dublin (Liffey Valley) — 14 screens, Dublin 22
• Lighthouse Cinema Dublin — Independent venue, Dublin

Key Cinemas

Cineworld Dublin stands out among Dublin multiplexes for sheer scale — 17 screens means more screening times to choose from, and the Parnell Street location puts it within walking distance of most city-centre hotels and offices. For those driving, the adjacent Parnell Centre car park avoids the hunt for street parking. Vue Dublin, by contrast, sits at Liffey Valley shopping centre and offers free on-site parking, making it the more practical option for viewers coming from the west of the city or surrounding counties.

The distinction matters for different audiences: city-centre visitors benefit from Cineworld’s accessibility and screen variety, while car-borne viewers from outside Dublin save significantly on parking costs at Vue.

What are F1 film showtimes near me?

The simplest way to find current showtimes is to check directly with the cinema chain or a cinema listing aggregator. CinemaTimes Ireland tracks F1 screenings across Dublin venues, with documented showtimes available as recently as March 6, 2026 — so Irish audiences clearly haven’t run out of options yet. Vue Cinemas updates its film times each Wednesday morning for the coming Friday, so if you’re planning a weekend trip, mid-week is when the schedule solidifies.

Dublin showtimes

Vue Dublin at Liffey Valley shopping centre runs 14 screens and seats over 2,500 people. The venue shows films in 2D and 3D with 4K picture quality and Dolby Surround Sound. Its Recliner seating option adds a level of comfort you won’t find at a standard multiplex, and subtitled screenings run weekly for those who need them. Audio description is also available on a selection of films — worth checking if that’s relevant to your visit.

“We update our screening schedule every Tuesday for the following week.”

Dundrum and Vue Liffey Valley

Vue has no Dundrum location in Dublin — its west Dublin venue is at Liffey Valley on Fonthill Road, Clondalkin, Dublin 22. If you’re specifically looking for screenings near Dundrum, you’d need to check with ODEON or other chains operating in the south Dublin area. For Vue, the Liffey Valley option is the closest to that part of the city.

Booking online for nearest screenings

All the major chains — ODEON, Cineworld, Vue, and Omniplex — allow advance ticket booking through their respective websites. Booking ahead is particularly useful if you want a specific time slot or a premium format like IMAX or 3D, as those tend to fill faster. The ODEON page for F1 provides trailer viewing and runtime information alongside the booking function, so you can confirm everything in one place before committing.

Mid-week planning pays off: Vue’s Wednesday update means Thursday is your best window for locking in weekend tickets before popular slots disappear.

How to watch F1 at the cinema

Getting to a screening is straightforward, but a few practical steps will help you secure your seat and avoid common pitfalls around timing, format choice, and booking.

Step 1: Choose your cinema and format

• Decide whether you want a standard 2D screening or a premium format. IMAX screenings at ODEON venues offer the largest image available, while Cineworld Dublin and Omniplex Dublin Rathmines offer 3D and large-format options.
• Consider location: Cineworld Dublin for city-centre convenience, Vue Dublin for free parking, Omniplex Dublin Rathmines for budget-friendly pricing.

Step 2: Check current showtimes

• Visit the cinema chain’s website directly (ODEON, Cineworld, Vue, Omniplex) or a cinema listing aggregator like CinemaTimes Ireland.
• Vue updates times each Wednesday for the coming Friday — if you’re planning a weekend visit, check mid-week.
• Confirm runtime before booking so you know exactly how long the visit will take.

Step 3: Book your tickets online

• Book through the cinema’s official website to secure your seat, particularly for IMAX or 3D screenings which fill quickly.
• ODEON’s F1 page includes trailer viewing, runtime info, and the booking function — everything in one place.
• Note the minimum ticket price at your chosen venue (Omniplex Dublin Rathmines starts from €9.95).

Step 4: Plan your arrival

• Cineworld Dublin sits one minute from Jervis Street LUAS stop — ideal for public transport users.
• Vue Dublin offers free on-site parking at Liffey Valley, plus 2,500 seats if you’re bringing a larger group.
• Arrive at least 15 minutes before your screening to allow time for concessions and finding your seat.

Step 5: Know your accessibility options

• Vue Dublin provides subtitled screenings weekly and audio description on a selection of films.
• Autism-friendly screenings run at Vue Dublin at 10:30am on the last Sunday of every month — useful to know if you or someone you’re bringing needs a quieter environment.

Is the new F1 movie out on Netflix?

F1 is not currently available on Netflix. The film is produced by Apple Original Films, and its primary home for streaming is Apple TV+. That’s the platform to watch for if you’re waiting to catch it at home rather than in a cinema.

Current streaming status

Apple TV+ holds the streaming rights for F1, which means the film will stream on that platform rather than Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. As of now, there’s no confirmed date for when it will arrive on Apple TV+, and the theatrical window typically runs for several months before a streaming debut.

Apple TV+ availability

Apple TV+ is the exclusive home for F1 streaming, as is standard for Apple Original Films productions. The platform doesn’t always release box office films immediately — there’s no confirmed timeline yet for the F1 streaming launch. Apple TV+ has been growing its library of theatrical releases, but specific release windows tend to be announced closer to the date.

Prime Video options

Prime Video doesn’t carry F1 in the UK or on Amazon.com. The only confirmed home-video path leads through Apple TV+. If you don’t have an Apple TV+ subscription, you’d need to sign up — there’s no free tier for individual titles, so it requires an active subscription to watch.

When can you watch the F1 movie at home for free?

There’s no confirmed date for when F1 will be available to watch at home, and more importantly, there’s no path to a free viewing right now. Apple TV+ requires an active paid subscription — there’s no rental or purchase option separate from the subscription model.

Streaming release timeline

Apple TV+ typically announces streaming windows several months after a film’s theatrical debut, but specific dates for F1 haven’t been made public. Major releases from Apple Original Films have historically followed a theatrical window of roughly 90 days before streaming availability, but the exact timeline for F1 remains uncertain. Watch Apple TV+’s official announcements for the most current information on when you can stream from home.

Free trial options

Apple TV+ occasionally offers free trial periods — typically 7 days for new subscribers — but these are promotional and not reliable as a permanent access method. There’s no guarantee a free trial will align with the F1 streaming launch date, and Apple doesn’t always advertise trial availability in advance.

Roku and other platforms

F1 is not currently listed on Roku or other third-party streaming platforms as a rental or purchase title. The Apple TV+ exclusivity appears solid for the foreseeable future, so if you don’t have an Apple TV+ subscription, you’d need to either sign up for one or wait for a confirmed streaming date.

The implication for Brad Pitt fans is straightforward: if you want to watch F1 at home without a subscription, you will be waiting indefinitely — there is no rental or purchase workaround available.

Is F1 a hit or flop movie?

The honest answer is that it depends on when you’re asking and which metric you’re using. Critical reception has been mixed, with some outlets calling it a “Formula Failure” — but the full commercial picture won’t be clear until the theatrical run concludes and streaming performance is factored in.

Box office performance

F1 opened theatrically on June 27, 2025, with Apple backing a significant marketing push and IMAX-format screenings a key part of the theatrical strategy. The IMAX experience was specifically promoted as a premium reason to see it on the big screen rather than waiting for home viewing. However, the gap between promotional ambition and actual box office gross is where the hit-or-flop question lives — and as of now, there’s no definitive verdict on the commercial outcome.

Critical reviews

Reviews have been mixed. Hollywood Hurrah described the film as a “Formula Failure” in its assessment, suggesting the critical consensus didn’t align with the marketing push. The film’s action sequences and IMAX visuals have been praised, but narrative and character development have drawn criticism in several outlets. Whether you agree with the critics or not tends to depend on what you’re looking for — if you want high-octane visuals, the IMAX format delivers; if you want a compelling script, the reviews suggest you may be disappointed.

Reasons for reception

F1 faces the challenge of a sports drama genre that audiences approach with specific expectations. The presence of Brad Pitt and the Formula 1 racing context gave it built-in appeal, but the execution left some critics unconvinced. The film’s strategy relied heavily on premium theatrical formats — IMAX and large-screen experiences — which suggests the studio expected audiences to treat it as an event rather than a routine night at the cinema.

What Irish viewers need to know

The Irish market has solid coverage across major cinema chains, with F1 available in standard and premium formats at ODEON, Cineworld, Vue, and Omniplex venues. Dublin viewers have the widest choice — from Cineworld’s 17-screen city-centre operation to Vue’s free-parking, 2,500-seat venue at Liffey Valley. Regional audiences can check ODEON’s national booking page or contact local cinemas directly.

The streaming situation is straightforward if less convenient: Apple TV+ is the only home viewing option, and there’s no confirmed timeline for when that arrives. Netflix and Prime Video won’t help you — at least not for F1.
