Eternals

Eternals Video Review

That Shelf’s Managing Editor and Chief Film Critic Jason Gorber gives us his take on the latest entry into the MCU, Eternals.

The bottom line: Oscar-winning director Chloé Zhao brings us an underwhelming blockbuster that takes itself and its dour characters too seriously. Watch his full review below now:

The film’s official synopsis:

Marvel Studios’ “Eternals” follows a group of heroes from beyond the stars who had protected the Earth since the dawn of man. When monstrous creatures called the Deviants, long thought lost to history, mysteriously return, the Eternals are forced to reunite in order to defend humanity once again.

The outstanding ensemble cast includes Gemma Chan as humankind-loving Sersi, Richard Madden as the all-powerful Ikaris, Kumail Nanjiani as cosmic-powered Kingo, Lia McHugh as the eternally young, old-soul Sprite, Brian Tyree Henry as the intelligent inventor Phastos, Lauren Ridloff as the super-fast Makkari, Barry Keoghan as aloof loner Druig, Don Lee as the powerful Gilgamesh, with Kit Harington as Dane Whitman, with Salma Hayek as the wise and spiritual leader Ajak, and Angelina Jolie as the fierce warrior Thena.

Eternals opens in theatres November 5 in RealD 3D and IMAX.
