Eternals
In 5,000 BC, 10 immortals (Amal, Sersi, Ikcaris, Kingo, Sprite, Phastos, Makkari, Druig, Gigarmesh, & Athena) are sent to Earth by the Celestial Arishem to eliminate the invasive Deviants. They remain hidden in history as secret protectors of humanity. These Marvel superhero characters are lesser known & there are quite a few of them to keep track of. The CGI action scenes are spectacular but complicated & confusing plot seems to drag on a bit at times with its nonlinear storytelling. The backdrops are amazing as audiences are taken globally around the world. There will be surprises that you will not see coming. You may want to see it again just so that you can properly process all of the information thrown at you. Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, & Gemma Chan star among the ensemble cast. Of course, stay seated for the mid & end of credits clips with hints to what may be in stored next for the Eternals.
Alien gives it 2½ “Tiamut Emergence” stars out of 4.
