It turns out that Earth has been serving as a giant seed pod to hatch a new Celestial, and if the Eternals are to support that mission, it means…well, darkness. Can they come together to defend their adopted home? The suspense will not be killing you, though the final battle summons aspects of grandeur.
There are three top-tier team superhero movies: the first “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” and “Avengers: Infinity War.” “Eternals” is a fluid and sometimes bedazzling entertainment but it never transcends its conventionality and makes you go “Damn!” Maybe next time the sakes can be raised on the heroic vibes by mixing in a drop of nomad reality.
