This is an advance, spoiler-free review of Marvel's Eternals. The film premieres Nov. 5, 2021.
Eternals is sprawling — across scenery, across centuries, you name it. Director Chloé Zhao’s immortal epic dances across timelines and alliances with ease. Though, despite the spectacle of it all, the latest Marvel film falls victim to the old “just because you can doesn’t mean you should” in some areas. The depth of the story is coupled with the huge, sweeping landscapes that Zhao is known for, but when you’re focusing on such a huge, overarching story with an already impressive runtime, breathtaking but otherwise time-consuming nature shots can start to feel like a bit of a chore.
The story follows ten immortal beings throughout Earth’s history as they fight to protect the planet from the Deviants (they’re basically large, cranky, tentacle-y murder monsters, for those unfamiliar). Sersi, Ikaris, Kingo, Sprite, Phastos, Makkari, Druig, Thena, and Gilgamesh all follow their leader, Ajak, on their mission to serve the celestial Arishem. Each Eternal has their own unique powerset and, as you can imagine, their own special interpersonal drama within their complicated little family. While they don’t all get the same amount of screentime, you can imagine how tall of an order this film was by the main cast size alone. It’s joked that the team was the original Avengers a couple times in Eternals, which really helps drive home the wide arc that the story is trying to accomplish. The team of immortals may be interwoven in a way that you can’t really tell their origins individually, but imagine going into the first Avengers with no prior introduction to the team. That’s the insane task Zhao was given.

In the end, these complicated gods feel like the most human of Marvel’s heroes. Perhaps it’s the diversity of their team, or their messy, messy, relationships. Either way, the humanity of it all has a real impact here. Karun (Harish Patel) — Kingo’s manager and the human we spend the most time with in the film — fits right in because they’re flawed in the exact same ways humanity is flawed. Also because he is incomparably brilliant and one of Eternals’ brightest spots, but that’s beside the point entirely!

Eternals is huge. Centuries worth of stories and a whole team of vastly different heroes are condensed into a visually stunning and impeccably acted film. The relationships of these complicated characters keep things as fresh as they can, but the story gets unwieldy when it shifts into a cosmic scale. Had it kept the narrative closer to home, it wo...
