The film is difficult to define in terms of genre, at first glance it is a dramatic sci-fi comedy. Sometime in the mid-1950s, in an American desert town famous for its nearby asteroid crater, young inventors are celebrated by the military and the astronomer community; but this will not be the main attraction, but the landing of a spaceship with an alien creature on board. The event represents a decisive turning point in everyone’s life. In the meantime, the viewer can gain an insight into the feverish operation of a theater company, they are currently rehearsing a play called Asteroid City<\/strong> in the town, which was closed by the army due to the UFO.<\/p>\n The film, which has an 82 percent rating on the RottenTomatoes review portal, is again about the things that concern Anderson the most: what it’s like when the impossible comes true, how to process being a parent, and when someone mourns, and why it is good to dream when we look up at the starry sky. According to one opinion, Asteroid City<\/strong>, although one of the author’s most entertaining and easy-to-consume works, will not win Anderson new fans, but it will strengthen the existing ones in their faith, because it is the screenwriter-director’s most mature and elaborate work. A worthy spiritual successor to his most praised work, The Grand Budapest Hotel, which received 5 Oscar nominations. IndieWire also notes that Asteroid City<\/strong> is perhaps Anderson’s most poignant work.<\/p>\n
