My First Wes Anderson Film! Asteroid City Movie Reaction! 

bold choice for a first Wes Anderson film, it's like watching Tenet as your first Nolan film

If you want another Wes Anderson film, I highly recommend The Grand Budapest Hotel.

For a newcomer to Wes Anderson I'd probably have recommended 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' next. It is less weird and more like a normal film in plot structure but still very much in his distinctive style, along with having a great cast, music and writing and being an emotional rollercoaster (how can a film that makes me laugh so much also make me cry?)

Wes Anderson is apparently such a joy to work with that every actor asked about it is told that it’s an absolute gem. Most Wes Anderson films are just the same…star studded and beautifully unique.

I haven’t thought too much about what this film is about, I think you’re probably right about it, but for me I just like it because it feels nice to watch. Watching Asteroid City feels like a relaxing day at the beach in the best possible way

Just wanted to say it was pretty impressive how much you grokked the film after just one watch. It gave me some insight, and I've seen the film twice already!

If you enjoy quirky movies that have a surprising number of famous actors in them wes Anderson is your guy. Asteroid City is probably his most narratively dense movie yet and every rewatch I appreciate a different aspect. If a normal movie is like a pane of glass reflecting the directors intent this movie is like a well cut diamond with sparkling facets reflecting on all sides

This is Wes Anderson at his most Wes Anderson-y my friend

I recomend Moonrise Kingdom for a more messured introduction to Wes Andersson. French Dispatch is his most "Wes Andersson", and my favorite, but I would recomend it first when you are more familiar with his work

I got to see this one in theaters with my brother, and we were both laughing our butts off! This movie was definitely quirky - but in a fun and funny way! Since this is your first Wes Anderson film, I'm gonna recommend that you watch another one of his works, Fantastic Mr. Fox. It's a stop-motion film from 2009, but it's REALLY well done and filled to the brim with great acting, awesome animation, and brilliant comedy. Watch it as soon as you can!

What a one to start with. I love Wes Anderson films, my favourites being the French dispatch, moonrise kingdom and the Darjeeling limited. I saw this movie with my sibling whose never seen a Wed Anderson film and they enjoyed it more then I did so this may be a good one for new comers 😂.

5:45 “what is this film?” My response: “me too!” 😂

Welcome to the Anderson-land, my dude. His films are just the most charming little things

Great movie, so emotional. Only watching this reaction did i realize... oh no, the a-bomb tests. The radiation. All of these people are doomed., underlined by the song at the end... "Got no future... got no hope... just nothing but the road." DAMN. Wes. Dark AF.

The part where the alien returns and brings back the asteroid is like a kid who parent asks him where did he get it and he tells them and they make him return it

This was my official intro to Wes Anderson after learning about his directing style and cinematography and stuff! I fell in love with his weird, off the wall, surreal ness and I also love super experimental stories! This being my introduction I already was in the mood for something odd, unnatural, meta, and super perplexing! Asteroid City DID NOT DISAPPOINT! “YOU CAN’T WAKE UP IF YOU DON’T FALL ASLEEP!” “YOU CAN’T WAKE UP IF YOU DON’T FALL ASLEEP!” “YOU CAN’T WAKE UP IF YOU DON’T FALL ASLEEP!”

This was my first Wes movie too! I can't wait to watch his other films!

Congratulations! 😁👍

I would highly recommend more Wes Anderson films! The grand budapest hotel and Rushmore are my favourites.

i died laughing in the theater seeing that alien

4:05 Yeah! Problem is, water makes it worst 😂

This is a fairly niche and likely not intended observation but as an autistic person the dialogue in this film is the closest ive seen to an accurate representation of how we talk to eachother

this is Wes Anderson at his weirdest and most abstract. Otherwise, the kitsch, the literary dialogue, and the highly stylized sets/costumes/camera work is very usual for the man. If you liked this, I recommend continuing with his filmography. The Grand Budapest, The Life Aquatic, The Royal Tenenbaums...

Roadrunner MVP

If you end up watching more Wes Anderson, I recommend you start with his early films so you can see how his style develops.

Wes Anderson has the same actors give or take a few in all his movies. and everything he makes is AESTHETIC as fuck.

For your first Wes Anderson movie, you picked the MOST Wes Anderson movie. If you liked this, you should dig his whole filmography. The Royal Tenenbaums and Moonrise Kingdom are my personal favorites of his.

Wes Anderson is one of my favorite directors, just watched Asteroid City this weekend so excited to check out your reaction. I think all his films are worth watching, The Grand Budapest Hotel probably being his best and most popular film. But my personal favorite is Moonrise Kingdom.

" you can't wake up if you don't fall asleep ".

You should react to Wes Anderson's 'Moonrise Kingdom' (2012) & 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' (2014).🙂

03:58 are "stupid" details like this what define a MASTER.Intentionally divides the shot as in a comic page: the new is happening on the right hand cartoon, on the empty left space, suddenly, the previous story continues with the boy drinking water as if there wasn't a tomorrow. His mastering use of colour palettes are beyond excellence. And his apparently stupid dialogs are brilliantly clever! PS: sometimes the fun is in the travel, not in the destination.

quirky and star studded but not his best work. Grand Budapest is still the cream of the crop. Moonrise Kingdom is a personal favorite.

God I love this movie and I absolutely love Wes Anderson probably my favorite director/ storyteller I recommend all of his movies lol Definitely fantastic Mr. Fox. Isle of dogs grand Budapest. Hotel And others

Royal Tennenbaums & grand Budapest hotel

I hVE TO SAY: This iw the first real 'Gen-Z' interpretations, and that is perfect! Goi Z!

All these big stars are troupe players who show up in all of his films. I assume Tom Hanks took over the role meant for Bill Murray.

This is probably the worst choice you could have made to get an idea of how good Wes Anderson is as a director and storyteller. As others have already suggested, I recommend The Grand Budapest Hotel as perhaps his best work

First half a bit slow, but second half found that trademark Wes Anderson rapid-fire wit and humor. Also, the black and white framing stuff was bullshit. Totally unnecessary bit of Charlie Kaufman-ism.

Very daring of you to choose this as the first work of Wes to watch 💀

Not only the worst West Anderson film ever made besides the French dispatch, but arguably one of the worst films ever made, period. In other words, pretty dumbfoundingly awful decision

Among the worst Wes Anderson films. Not all actors fit well in Wes World. Tom Hanks was too Tom Hanks.
