Wonder if good ole Disney is/was buying out seats at empty showings again?
Every showing I was at was legitimately sold out, unless they're now sending people to actually occupy the seats of all the tickets they purchase.

And....Disney is flip flopping and now editing out the woke stuff in some of the foreign markets lol lol lol
Gotta get that money. They're paying 10-11 main characters.
I went to see it this afternoon. While I won't be heading to theaters 3 more times to view it lol (but maybe once more), I enjoyed it and overall thought it was quite good. The overarching story was cool, the majority of the Eternals were interesting, well-developed and had excellent portrayals - especially Sersi/Gemma Chan (sorry, Wor-Gar
). And IMO the Makkari scenes during the film's climax were easily the best speedster action scenes ever put on film. Not a diss of anything that came before (Quicksilver, Flash, etc.), it's just the CGI keeps getting better and better.

Hey, the only actor from this movie I have any interest in is Gemma Chan. I like her... but in everything I've seen her in, she's a might boring. Pretty but boring. Glad to hear she's good.
I still don't think I could sit thru this though.
Spoil it! Spoil it all!!!
Honestly, what could spoil it? Is there some amazing revelation? Some M.Night plot twist? They all die in the end? Really?

matticus your spoiler synopsis in no way made the film worse or better than what the trailers implied. They simply confirmed that the film was exactly as it appeared to be. I say spoil away.
I want to know TWO things:
1) what was the BEST thing/scene in Eternitals?
2) what was the WORST thing in Eternitals?

Direct your hate messages to Wor!
Well simply the big reveal is that they were synthetics and there is a celestial being born out of Earth cause of Earth's mass population. SO....Thanos really did save Earth in the first place? WTF? Then a celestial who makes synthetics makes them all types of different genders, different powers and one that cannot hear? They all don't have supervision, flight and super strength? Then another synthetic (Thena) goes psycho and loses her memory? But you can create galaxies and not fix that? The info dump was really a dump for me. Deviants were made first, to kill natural planet predators for life to evolve. But the deviants evolved and killed everything. I would make all Ikaris' that collectively easily take down deviants, which they were made for. Could only imagine that there are different scenarios which all their powers could adjust to the situation. Still..this whole movie is just shoe-horned for diversity sake.
The Boys' Homelander is all you could see with Ikaris. His turn and reveal as a bad guy was very obvious. He killed Ajax cause she wanted to prevent the emergence of the Earth celestial. So what does he do? HE GETS EVERYONE BACK TOGETHER THEN SAYS IT WAS A BAD IDEA. WHAT?!
They were ordered not to interfere with humanity, BUT THEY DID! Hence why they are Greek gods. They all had a temple until Phastos helped create weapons that kill people and then split. Phastos then lead humanity to the atom bomb. He then went gay and into seculsion to Chicago cause there is no violence there. Then Druid controls a cult. Kingo was absolutely worthless. He is the token comedian and accomplishes nothing except to help their box office in India.
Then the ending - wtf? Kingo says peace out before the end battle. Ikaris flys into the sun and kills himself? Arishem comes to Earth and tells Sersi/Phastos? Couldn't see/Kingo and essentially says, "WTF is this? I made you and you pull this ****?" And takes them for "judgement". Thena/Makkari/Druid go on their space ship and find a horrible CGI'd Pip and Eros, Thanos brother. Uh..ok? The ending now raises more questions than the entire movie solved.
Dane Whitman was in this just to tease to Blade. Cool to know that Black Knight and Blade are going to team up, but really him being involved with Sersi didn't play as well as I thought it would against Ikaris, who left her a while back. He made 2 very small appearances after the initial 15 minutes. You have a lot more going on than to shoehorn him in. Honestly, it played like an old school end credits scene for the next movie with no context to it lol.
I've read reddit posts and many of them say it is "Good, but..." and list a bunch of reasons why the movie doesn't make sense. Seen some mention it looked like a struggle between a Marvel movie and a Chloe Zhao movie. I think it just lacked logic for me.
That made me laugh out loud.
The whole movie sounds like a mess. I know a lot of people here want to like it and are starving for their usual diet of MCU... but I've also been around here long enough to know that they will almost all come around to disliking this film by next year... or as soon as a good movie comes along that they can be excited about.
Apologists that don't want to accept the obvious conclusion. We've all been there. I never should have bought the IM2 and TDKR blurays.
Then why buy it?

Young . I was like 22 and just got it just because
Gotcha. Completion.
This entire post is gold!
I'm kind of looking forward to watching it on D+ now just for the absurdity. But yeah, so not canon, lol.
Effective immediately Sarah Connor has been retroactively cancelled for being a homophobe.
