Eternals
i feel the tragedy of Sersi and Ikaris needs to be studied.. like we never had a relationship like theirs in the MCU.
Eternals is a criminally underrated movie and i completely blame the fans. this was one of the first MCU movies i legit saw in theaters (after Black Widow & watching all projects after watching Wandavision), and i haven’t watched it since unfortunately. now, as i continue my MCU rewatch i finally get to watch it again in all of it’s glory in IMAX (Enhanced). while the film looks amazing in IMAX, the constant shifting aspect ratios was a tad distracting but very cool especially with the different ratios for the celestial (1.43:1), regular IMAX (1.90:1), and then standard widescreen (2.49:1) — very excited to hear that Fantastic Four will be doing this as well for Galactus, and i will get to experience it in theaters instead of my TV at home.
the cinematography here is just completely breathtaking and stunning.. not many MCU movies have this level of cinematography and this makes it stand out which is GREAT. every shot looks fantastic and when coupled with the amazing CGI, just creates masterful shots. they really cooked with the CGI here especially for the celestials, Makkari, and Ikaris. the score is phenomenal, the production design was amazing, and the editing was perfect. the performances from everyone was great, but my favs were Ikaris, Thena, Sersi, Phastos, and of course Ajak. the writing is on another level and i really enjoyed the journey it took us on especially because it feels so different from the MCU formula.. sure it’s a bit too long, but there’s so many characters that i needed that extra runtime.
i really wish this was received better from critics and audiences because it truly is one of the best MCU movies.. i’m sure it’ll eventually receive the love it deserves once people move on from being pigeon brained and following the hate train. this film deserves a sequel, so it’s unfortunate it’s post credit scenes won’t lead anywhere whether it’s the sequel or Blade, but whatever. i hope the Eternals do show back up whether in Doomsday/Secret Wars or future projects because their story certainly isn’t done and we need to know what Arishem’s judgement is of Earth. at least this semi connected into Brave New World & technically Wakanda Forever and Thunderbolts..
