Top Amazon Reviews
I'll use a Wes Anderson quote from July of 2023 to describe his love of another director's work... "The artist has such a strong hand, he can take us anywhere he wants" - Wes Anderson. Since Amazon.com is a shopping website, I will rate my shopping experience: Satisfied. I purchased the digital HOME PREMIERE copy of Asteroid City, and the transaction was acceptable. Spoilers below... ***************** Summary: Movie about a writer, and his play. The play has characters that develop on-the-fly with the writers imagination (Conrad Earp). Clues are left throughout the movie to help you understand the development of each character. Wes Anderson smacks you in the face over and over by letting you know nothing you're seeing is real (or finished), but you still get attached. For instance, when you see an awkward Woodrow explain what his mother "was like" (to fellow stargazers) by making a 5-move-combo (instantly), unzipping a pristine photo of his (now dead) mother, your heart drops. Then, the next line which is Wes, "When did you lose her? Officially this morning". A summary can't unpack this movie. It's just great art from a Master. Quote: "Are you married? Of course." (During Mexican Standoff) Scene: The scene where we learn how Augie's character was casted by Conrad. The playwright and the player. Gem: When Clifford (Aristou Meehan) learns in real time about his character needing to be dared to exist, (waiting to be dared to climb a cactus). Conrad is developing Clifford and the audience is in on it. (These gems are all throughout the movie) Other: Jeff Goldblum will win a Oscar for this. Period. I love Wes Anderson. I watch his movies every week for inspiration. I have no doubt I've logged over 1,000 hours of his work (humble brag). Asteroid City will allow me the great fortune of countless hours, to play in a very abstract time-and-space, adoring the creation of storytelling and the characters that occupy that space.

After watching 3 times it is a brilliant amazing treasure of a movie that I have come to love completely!!!!!! Visually it like eating the most beautiful colored elegant complex yet simply delicious dessert!!!!!!! There is so much going on I didn’t understand many things in the story or what the characters were saying etc at moments but after watching it through again and again it is AMAZING!!! There is something new I see and understand in the story each new time I watch this. I hope Wes Anderson can read this that I adore his movie and all his movies :)!! His characters may not believe in God but for me God is the best because he gave me eyes to see the beauty that is Wes Anderson’s art and I am thankful for the gifts and hard work he and everyone he assembles to create his movies!!!! Thank you God for Wes and everyone involved in making his movies and for giving creativity to story tellers and art makers!!! My life is blessed by the beauty in the creations you God made and the people/creators of art and stories that enrich and inspire and give me so much joy experiencing!!! P.s. watching this movie even with the sound of is visually one of a kind and delicious:)!!!

This is a movie about a television documentary on the making of a play. There are three levels: (1) the television narrator, (2) the writer, director, actors, and (3) the play. The movie is about the interaction of the levels. Yes, it's confusing. Sometimes it is hard to know which level we are in, though Scarlett Johansson is helpfully a blond as an actress and a brunette in the play. The lives of the actors seem to have no connection to the characters they play. The actors question the motivations for the events in the play: Jason Schwartzman complains to the "director" that he does not understand his character--and he is told that that is how he should play the character. The viewer cannot help sympathizing with Schwartzman because nothing really makes much sense here. Schwartzman is travelling with his four children who have not discovered that their mother has died. Her ashes are in one of their tuperware containers. At first it seems that they have arrived in Asteroid City accidentally when their car breaks down, but then it seems to have been their destination. There is an awards ceremony for talented, accomplished kids. It is interrupted by an alien who snatches the town's asteroid--only to return it later are "inventoried it"--whatever that means. So, the film seems to be about various forms of loss. That's the way I understand its various disparate scenes to come together. Thus, Johansson as an actress runs away from the play, while her character in the play, a famous actress, contemplates suicide, in despair, it seems over lost lovers. Meanwhile, she carries on a relationship with Schwartzman (his character in the play is "Augie Steen", though he seems to have no connection with St. Augustine.) by looking through the windows of adjacent motel cabins. A teacher leading class tour of Asteroid City is constantly counting her students, afraid she might lose one. All the visitors are quarantined so that word will not get out about the alien--and they seem to experience loss of their individual identities. The actors do not know who they are because they always take on other people's roles, the characters in the play are stuck in roles that they are assigned even if they cannot understand them, and the audience looks to the theater and the actors to reveal truths that neither has. Children lose their identity when they lose their parents, adults when they lose their lovers. Finally, the playwright dies six months into the play's run. There are probably more kinds of loss that I am missing. If all this sounds good, don't get your hopes up. The film is fine to think about, just tortuous to watch. Anderson's brand of stylized acting worked well in The Grand Budapest Hotel because the Stefan Zweig story on which it is based is so emotional. But this kind of acting is really out of place in Asteroid City because none of the characters has any real emotions. It is impossible to connect with them or to care. The movie isn't a story so much as disconnected events--somehow intent on showing that it itself has also lost its identity. You can reflect on that if you want. It's just not a good premise for a film.

Quirky little movie. I really enjoyed the colors and visual environment. Great characters as usual. Don’t miss the little alien scenes!

I watched this 3 months ago and I still don't really understand. It looked pretty nice, as the trailers promised. Parts were REALLY good and the characterization was above average, which is, based on other people's opinions, what I've gathered Wes Anderson movies are usually like. But without a huge spoiler, there's a, uhh... very strange choice for the climax. I can understand from an artistic perspective why they did this, but it's jarring in a technical and confusing way, not from an artistic story-based way. Let me put it this was: Imagine you were playing a new $60 AAA video game and after 5 hours, you start a mission and randomly the level designer seems to have used exclusively MS paint for this level. And the whole time, the characters are like "Huh this is weird.", but tonally it's confusing because prior to this moment, nothing was 4th wall breaking like a Rick & Morty or Deadpool plot. In fact, the 4th wall isn't really BROKEN by the characters, you're just experiencing the STRANGE design decision at the same time they are, and it's clear you're MEANT to think this is strange based on the story, but the actual effect is so... hmmm... let's say "Offputting" that it breaks the entire movie to the point where all you can think about is that one scene over and over. At the end of the day, I can't say that I'd have preferred watching this over just watching a full spoiler review on youtube. I'm just left going ".... huh. Ok, you really made a whole movie and then just kinda... did that.... Ok." I'm confused, and feel like I "get" the message, but it doesn't excuse how immersion breaking and absolutely freaky the technical decision, whether due to a lack of funds or a statement on CGI ruining modern movies, is. It's like seeing an abstract artwork from an amateur and you can say "Yes, I see you had a lot of good reasons to just splash some paint on a canvas and call it art, and I can validate all of your meaning... but by no means do I have to agree with you that this was worth my own time".

All of this guys movies are quirky, but cool. If you are open minded and appreciate British comedy, you should check out Wes Anderson's stuff. The Grand Budapest Motel is my all time favorite of his. He gets well known actors to star in his films , not a bunch of unknowns. You be the judge.

I tend to purchase movies as I like to watch them multiple times. I fell for the preview of this film like a sucker. It took me three nights to finish this movie as it was.so annoyingly stupid I'd switch to something more gratifying to watch. This is the second movie I fell for by the cut of the preview that promised an enjoyable time but fell completely fell flat in actually delivering what you got. I can think of a dozen words to classify this movie"s genre. Spoof? Satire? ... None satisfy the torture I put up with watching it to completion. I kept hoping I'd find an 'AH, HA!' moment that would.make the time and cost.to watch this movie worth it. Nada mas. What can I say positive about this movie? I didn't like the storyline. I didn't like the actors. It was way too far long. It was torture to watch. I didn't particularly like the acting (What? This wasn't some amateur or student production? They got paid for doing this?) I really like the colors. They were pretty and bright! Save hour money on this one. Your wallet.will thank you!

This is a movie that is entirely about what it going on inside of YOUR head. It's about the inner workings of that wet, steamy, bloody pile of tissue you call a brain. Inside of it, you filter the stream of garbage that modern "content makers" pump out at us to convince us to buy Ovaltine or something like that. It's yours. Yours all alone. And it's real. Sort of. As we watch the tube, we learn that sometimes we are seeing a story, and sometimes we are seeing a true story, and sometimes were are seeing a true thing that isn't a story at all. But in THIS movie, all that is scrambled. "True" means nothing. The "story" means nothing. What you have to do is watch and allow your mind to parse the data in a way that allows you to create a different story in your brain. You know-- like you do every moment of your life when you aren't being "entertained." All five minutes a day of that kind of thing. All five minutes a day before your light comes on and you're laying in bed and you just are being what you are. Then you wake up. To the real. But eventually, you will see that Asteroid City is not real. The world is not real. You're not real. I'm not real. Nothing is. There. You owe me five cents.
