"Asteroid City": A Whimsical Love Letter to UFO Culture
TL;DR Summary
Wes Anderson's latest film, Asteroid City, is enigmatic, artificial, infuriatingly self-indulgent, and irrevocably pointless. The film is set in an imaginary town called Asteroid City in the middle of the American desert where they test atomic bombs. The movie within the TV show makes no sense, and the cast improvises without charm. The narrative is too episodic and smart-alecky to keep the audience awake.
