Asteroid City (2023) is a movie my wife and I watched at the Alamo Drafthouse last night. The storyline follows the making of a movie called Asteroid City and what went into the writing of the storyline, selection of the cast, how the movie came together and what's it's purpose.
This picture was directed by Wes Anderson (Moonrise Kingdom) and stars Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore), Scarlett Johansson (The Avengers), Tom Hanks (Big), Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Jeffrey Wright (The Batman), Liev Schreiber (Scream) and Edward Norton (Fight Club).
The way this movie is put together is pure magic. You feel like you're drifting through a fairy tale. The storyline is interesting, unpredictable and does a great job capturing your imagination. The sets, props, backdrops and attire are all beautiful. The camera angles and cinematography is top notch. The cast is brilliantly constructed and everyone delivers a tremendous performance. There's so many subtle details to grab your attention. I loved the road runner. The conclusion has magnificent depth but also leaves room for interpretation.
Overall, this is a fun trip with a worthwhile story and entertaining characters. I would score this a 7/10 and strongly recommend it.
