I would rather shit in my hands and clap than watch this movie to the end.

This was the first movie I have ever walked out of the cinema after 45 minutes.

Fans of Wes Anderson will certainly have a good time with "Asteroid City". Like most of the director's other projects, the film is funny, quirky, visually unique, and generally incredibly creative.On top of that, as usual, the cast is chock-full of well-known actors. Although several attempts have been made to imitate Anderson's style, no one has been successful thus far.

Despite my praises, however, there are a few weak points. I don't think Anderson's new film will persuade his detractors. On the contrary, he drifts further away from attempting to tell a coherent story. It is quite noticeable that the framework of the story is hardly present in his more recent films. Individual scenes are still often fantastic, but when combined, they don't always make for a strong overall film.

All in all, though, I continue to be satisfied. As I said, fans of Wes Anderson will definitely like "Asteroid City." And I count myself among that group for sure.

This is just a movie about a movie about a play about a play. And that's where the disappointment lies.

There's no arch. No heroes or foes. No obstacles to overcome. Nothing gets solved, and there's no real payoff. It's just a story within a story within a story and you the audience is expected to marvel at how terribly clever it is. It's incredible clever. But it's not very watchable.

Ultimately it's just a series of scenes, one after another, that you don't care about.

I like Wes Anderson. In fact Life Aquatic is one of my favorite movies and I love Moonlight Kingdom. Asteroid City unfortunately was unwatchable and my honey and I agreed to turn it off after about 15 minutes. Hopefully Wes is not senile and will get his mojo back with the next one… What kind of bird are you?

Wes Anderson is not for everyone.

If you're a fan of Wes Anderson movies, although with all its characteristic style, it's not as good as his other films. If you're not a fan of Wes Anderson, avoid like the plague, you'll definitely will hate this movie.

A complete waste of time.

30 minutes in and we were both saying... What the hell is this and what is it supposed to be?!!
Switched off. It's crap

What the actual f**k is this? My partner made me sit through this and it was the worst movie I have seen in years, even worse than a Steven Segal movie!

Finally, the white people Nope you’ve all been waiting for!

Liked this as much as some his other films, not as good as his masterpieces but still a solid Wes Anderson film with an amazing cast

If you haven't seen this movie already you should just go and watch it now.

One of Wes Anderson's most playful films in terms of narrative structure, which looks at the fifties in black and white and furious color. The symmetrical visualization of the asymmetrical story, the composition of the perfect image that recreates the disorder of a story that reflects the postwar obsession with atomic destruction and the arrival of extraterrestrials in a desert recreated in Spain. A cryptic film that talks about many things without apparently saying anything, but above all about the loss and mourning, through the representation of the creative process.

I think it's time I accept that Wes Anderson films maybe just aren't my thing. I really loved The Grand Budapest Hotel, Fantastic Mr Fox, and also Isle of Dogs, albeit to a lesser extent. But every other Wes Anderson film I've watched has just failed to really grip me. Sure, this is an undoubtedly gorgeous and quirky film, but visuals aren't enough to carry an entire film for me. I absolutely adored the scene where the alien came down to collect the asteroid, that was definitely the stand-out scene of the entire film for me. But nothing else throughout the runtime managed to keep me properly engaged. It's a shame, because I'm always excited going into these films, especially considering that they're filled with actors I adore, but they just seem to not click for me more often than not.

Worse movie i saw in 2023

I can understand why a lot of people love this movie, but for me I think there were too many things going on in this movie. Of course the design and production were amazing as always with Wes Anderson movies, but the play within a play idea was a bit too much. I think this also prevented any depth in a lot of the characters since there was simply too many ideas ideas being thrown around.

This cast though :O Looks promising
