Asteroid City Movie Reviews

This cast doesn’t deserve this script

Wes Anderson drummed up a magnificent cast. At least ten of them could carry a triple A movie by themselves. Unfortunately, Wes forgot that a good movie needs a good plot as well.

The visuals are outstanding, almost every shot is also an award winning photo. The acting is superb. The setting is magnificent and almost everything about this movie is perfect.

Everything but the plot. If you like humor, you’ll like this film. If you come for the visuals, you’ll love this film. If you’re into acting, you’ll have an excellent time. But if you want to be engaged? Look elsewhere.

Dear Wes, your dialogues are hilarious and witty. Your plots lack substance. Work on your plots.

Enjoyable enough for Wes Anderson fans; but lacking in substance or impact

Few independent filmmakers have a style as unique and distinctive as Wes Anderson’s, whose signature aesthetic is almost immediately recognizable upon watching one of his films. Yet his films are not just aesthetically engaging; they tend to be hilarious and well-written in a quirky, down-to-earth way. As a fan of his work, I was looking forward to “Asteroid City.” This retro sci-fi tale of a UFO/alien sighting in a 1950s desert town certainly delivers Anderson’s expected vibes, but fails to pair the visuals and auteurist elements with an engaging, emotionally impactful plot or character development that is equally strong and/or effective.

The film is a true ensemble piece, and doesn’t have a clear main character. This would be fine if the wide array of characters involved were more compellingly written, but the screenplay treats their motivations as simply second fiddle to “style,” world-building, and more abstract themes. Thematically, the film also seems a bit inert, seeming to jump around in subtext without providing the plot context to justify it–including through the framing device of a play. Anderson’s large ensemble cast generally does pretty well with the material they are given, but their actions feel removed from consequence or plot relevance to make us feel a lot fo their characters. The brilliant craftsmanship on display mildly offsets these concerns–from the outstanding production design, cinematography, costume design, and editing–which are well-done even by Wes Anderson’s standards. Yet the lack of a comparatively developed plot or character motivations is a bit jarring compared to his better films, such as “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “Moonrise Kingdom,” “The Royal Tenebaums,” and “Fantastic Mr. Fox.” Even the anthology structure in “The French Dispatch” felt more character-driven and authentic, and thus more conceptually engaging than this film. Make no mistake, Anderson is and has always been a creative visionary, and his fans should generally have a good time while watching this film. It’s just a little bit unfortunate that the film comes off as more hollow and forgettable than it should, despite plenty of positive qualities as well. Recommended only to Wes Anderson fans. 6.5/10.

He has out-Wes-Anderson himself

Wes Anderson has always been a favorite director of mine. I have seen all his movies – but for me, the magic is gone.

I feel like The Grand Budapest Hotel was his masterpiece. Where every aspect that makes his films special was at its peak. The characters, the cast, the sets and, of course, the visuals were up to an 11. His craft was perfected – and it’s one of my top 5 films of all time.

When I saw Isle of Dogs, I started to feel full. I felt like I had seen Wes’s style a bit too much. And now this.

I feel that Asteroid City is pretty bland. The visuals are fantastic – but we’ve seen this all before. Instead of a compelling lead who has an interesting problem to solve – we get several bland characters who are quirky, and that’s it. The acting is great though. But it’s not that funny nor intriguing.

We were eight friends who saw this film together. Every one of us was pretty bored after a while. One of us really liked it though – but she had only seen 50% of a Wes Anderson film before. The rest of us felt… full.
