Eternals
Movies Eternals is a superhero film produced by Marvel Studios that was released in 2021. The film is directed by Chloé Zhao and features a large ensemble cast including Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, and Kit Harington. The story follows a group of immortal beings called the Eternals, who were created by a cosmic entity called the Celestials. They have lived on Earth for thousands of years to protect humanity from the threat of monstrous beings called the Deviants. After a long time in hiding and separated, they reunite to face a new threat that has to do with their origins and the future of Earth.
Thematically, Eternals combines Marvel's signature epic action with more philosophical and emotional elements. The film explores questions about the meaning of life, responsibility, and moral conflict between characters who have different perspectives. The visuals are grandiose with the time-traveling setting spanning multiple historical eras, but there's also violence, battle scenes, and some pretty intense moments.
