Our take on Eternals

Directed by Oscar-winner Chloé Zhao, this 2021 superhero epic introduces the Eternals, a team of ancient aliens who have quietly lived among humans for thousands of years. When an unexpected tragedy drives them out of hiding, they must reunite to confront mankind's oldest enemy, the Deviants. Zhao brings a more contemplative, sweeping visual approach than typical comic-book fare, emphasizing landscapes, deep time and questions of purpose alongside the action. That ambition makes it slower and more sprawling, spread across a large ensemble and millennia of history. It suits viewers open to a reflective, mythic take on the genre; those wanting brisk, punchy heroics may find its pace and scope demanding.
