In my opinion (which I’m sure is just the kind of opinion Wes Anderson would use to justify this garbled nonsense) asteroid city is a movie with a theme that was trying too hard to mean something…Which left me feeling nothing. When I laughed, I wasn’t even sure if i meant it. For the most part I don’t enjoy watching films that make me feel like I’m sitting across from a Rolling Stones reporter rolling his eyes at my taste in music as if had the depth of a rain puddle. I loved the cinematography.
However, my brain became bored with attempting to make sense of nonsense ultimately I fell asleep only to wake to the actors chanting “if you never fall asleep you can never wake up”. I like the claymation alien, his facial expression was the only thing I identified with. I wish I had spent
my movie ticket money on a better pillow and a set of headphones.
