Pointlessly random
Only the second time I've walked out of the cinema.
I had very high hopes for this film, with an outstanding cast, and cast, and the usually brilliant Wes Anderson behind the wheel.

But it doesn't matter how good a cast is, it needs to be a good film.

Asteroid City is a play within a film, but unfortunately it tells the story of the play, and of the lead up to its opening night. Unfortunately the dynamic of switching between the two different stories really disrupts the flow of what would likely be a an enjoyable story.

Secondly, I know his films can be quite random at points, but a lot of scenes seem to be random for the sake of being random, adding nothing to the film or the story.

Also, only a nitpicky thing, but some of the songs featured during the 1955 scenes (Last Train to San Fernando, Freight Train) were songs that weren't released until 1957.

Overall, a great idea but poorly executed.

Just seen at my local cineworld was it worth waiting 15 months due to pandemic yes it was worth the wait its good to the mcu back when the marvel logo came up I cheered. anyway the film the film was amazing scarlett and Florence were exceptional especially Florence who's been good since fighting with my family 2 years ago plenty of good action scenes could have done with more taskmaster who was underused but wasn't expecting the reveal behind the mask at all. Overall good movie it's good to finally get the mcu back on the big screen also stay past the end credits for a extra scene
