Atom User Reviews for Asteroid City
Quite possibly might be the absolute worst movie…. I have ever seen. I couldn’t wait for it to be over lol
Artsy fartsy
Horrible
The least favorite Wes Anderson film to date. It had some moments but this put me to sleep.
Weird but in a good way. Its a Wes Anderson movie so if you like his movies (like I do) then you’ll like it just fine. It’s got an interesting structure and that’s the part I liked the most.
definitely a Wes Anderson movie
I wasn’t a fan. I’m not someone who pays attention to who the director/producers are so I didn’t know what I was in for. Because of the the stars in the line up and trailers and the aesthetic of the movie I was curious. There were parts I liked but slow in the beginning and…
Horrible!! We walked out!
Such a creative attention grabber
What a fascinating theatre play movie, I’ve never seen anything like it before!
Interesting watch. Enjoyed the art direction
great cast and visual effects are creative. But a very weird story to focus on.
It came together in a super special way.
Alien is so silly 🤭
Meh. Be better if there was even a thread of a story.
Sometimes it doesn’t matter if you “get it” This is not for people who can’t sit with the discomfort of the absence of the neat and tidy plot and all the answers delivered on a silver platter. It’s a visually stunning film.
not what I was expecting. it was slow and funny at times. I would wait to watch on DVD. surprisingly the showing I went to was packed.
wowowowowowowowow just wow
Cast and camera work are stellar. The rest WTF!
Love the 50s-60s b-rate movie aesthetic.

It was alright pretty slowly paced. Actors and the camera work carried this film.
Might be my favorite movie of the year, seen it three times so far in theater
the perfect film. his best.
It’s a decent movie about a small town getting contact with an alien. Definitely filmed in Wes Anderson’s style. But the message of the movie might be hard to tell.
Metacritic
Everything looks beautiful: sand the colour of peach fluff and skies, a cyan blue.
Because of the structure of the film—the story within the story—none of them feel urgent or especially resonant. There are moments of brilliance both from the performers and from the writing. But they never cohere together into a complete story.
Asteroid City is a top-tier Wes Anderson original that brings back the carefree fun and charm of some of his best works while also turning his own personal conventions on their ear in an attempt to try new things.
