Eternals — out now in cinemas worldwide — has a lot to show. After all, it's the second-longest Marvel Cinematic Universe movie of all time, with a 156-minute runtime (including credits), behind only the epic saga-concluding Avengers: Endgame. The Eternals ensemble is made up of 10 immortal beings, led by the likes of Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Richard Madden, and Kumail Nanjiani.
Its tale spans several millennia: from 5,000 BC Mesopotamia to present-day London, and 15th-century Spanish conquest to 400 AD Gupta Empire. There are lore and exposition dumps scattered throughout, but even that's not enough. Eternals begins with a three-paragraph opening crawl — it's like Star Wars but sadder — that tells us how the Eternals came to be, their chief enemy, and their purpose on Earth. Therefore this movie can be worth your time but before stumbling upon that I would suggest you listen to our podcast, you gonna love it. GRAB your snacks and listen.
