BLERD AT THE MOVIES
(At Home With) BLERD AT THE MOVIES #7: "Eternals" is to Marvel What "The Last Jedi" Was to Star Wars12/31/2021 Academy Award-winning filmmaker Chloe Zhao has crafted what might be Marvel's most ambitious -- and frustrating -- film to date. (from L to R) Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, Don Lee as Gilgamesh, Angelina Jolie as Thena, Richard Madden as Ikaris, Salma Hayek as Ajak, Gemma Chan as Sersi, Lia McHugh as Sprite, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, and Barry Keoghan as Druig in Marvel Studios's Eternals (Courtesy of Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures | 2021) Welcome back to (At Home With) Blerd at the Movies, where I share what movies I've been watching while social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. 2022 is quickly approaching, so for the last edition I am taking a trip down to Divisive City to discuss what might be Marvel Studios' most ambitious feature to date: Eternals.
Fresh off her Oscar win for Nomadland, writer-director Chloe Zhao makes the jump from small, contemplative indies to a massive cosmic epic that attempts to challenge what the superhero film genre is capable with the help of Jack Kirby's most cerebral comic creations, the Eternals. The end result isn't as bad as others made it out to be upon release, but it definitely is a fascinating -- and frustrating -- sight to behold.
