About this deal

No, the casting of Humans' Gemma Chan and Game of Thrones' Richard Madden (and indeed Kit Harrington) is the real fatal blow to this movie, both charisma voids - Chan was great as a robot in Humans - who simply don't have the experience to be able to bring anything into their roles other than vacant looks and the reading of lines. For the week that ended on March 5th, Walt Disney Home Entertainment's Encanto reclaimed the top spot on both the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media charts for the first time since its release three weeks ago.

Eternals” is a different beast, looking to set a more contemplative mood with its cast of alien personalities and their different powers. Eternals lands on Blu-ray from Disney/Marvel with a respectable video transfer but is hampered by a lackluster DTS 7. Visually it’s amazing to look at and the final thirty-forty minutes show some sign of life and excitement, but it’s too little too late. This movie is definitely not on par with the DCU's more "dark" motive of story telling, like how I've some attempt to compare it to, but I will admit to it having a bit more seriousness.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.

It has moments where primaries stand out, mostly in bright scenes, but for a 2021 movie, it's just unacceptable to me.

They are paper thin, each of them reduced to a talent and, if they are lucky, a tangible relationship or interesting power. Which soon becomes the mantra for the Eternals in general, as this painfully melodramatic group of whiners moan and cry their way through a succession of anticlimactic reveals about the true purpose behind their extremely Galactus-like benefactor, and the presence of disappointingly pointless creatures on the planet known as Deviants (stupid name). The film's technical structure lacks originality too; it's so ardently adhered to Marvel stylings that it cannot, visually, find its own identity. Having defeated the Deviants, the Eternals, a race of immortal beings, now live largely peaceful and disparate lives on Earth. This is a commendable angle, grounding the visuals, but - conversely - it does leave them frequently far from wowing.That doesn't mean it will be an awful movie nor worth of trashing it for the sake of some being "Team MCU vs Team DCU" extremists. This story needed room to introduce these characters, key events, intergalactic stakes, and how they all connected to everything else we’ve seen.
