Regardless of whether you are a committed fan of the franchise or a motorsports diehard, the climactic 100km (62-mile) race unleashes a nitrous injection of pure, unadulterated cinema.

The pleasures of watching a film like Pegasus 3 lie in your being transported by Han’s sheer mastery of the visual medium of cinema.

Director Han Han does a fine job of assembling tons of footage that lets us feel the dangers and peril of this kind of racing. Even the CG elements are mostly well-handled, keeping the audience from being drawn away from the excitement.

Pegasus 3 delivers exactly what fans expect from a movie series about racing car drivers who experience obstacles during high-stakes races. Yes, the movie's ending is predictable, but it's a wild ride getting there.
