Eternal New Movies Hit the Dune



ETERNALS

ACTION/ADVENTURE/SUPERHEROES 

PLOT:  Ancient aliens are living and protecting Earth and the monsters Deviants come back more powerful than ever they must save people at all cost.

WHAT IS RIGHT:  Diversity.  They have men, women, black, Asian, East Indian and a mute as Eternals. It is based on the comic book but they did many changes. The humor is good too.  The film is amazing to look at.

WHAT IS WRONG:  Angelina Jolie should have been the main character for Thena is a beautiful warrior of the group.  It is a slow burn but the fight scenes are fantastic.

SHOULD YOU WATCH:  This is a tough one.  It has a lot going for it as well as against it.  Many people don’t know the Eternals and most are not that interesting.  If you can hold out wait until it is on a streaming sight or ON DEMAND.


DUNE: PART ONE

ACTION/SCI-FI

 PLOT:  Based on the novels by Frank Herbert.  A young prince with powers he must master to survive and protect Spice, an ingredient that makes you stronger and helps on his planet ships fly.  Many factions want to control the substance so it is about political power as well.

WHAT IS RIGHT:  Visually breathtaking and the score by Hans Zimmer haunting.  The cast is very good that includes Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Zendaya Oscar Isaac and Timothree Chalamet as the young hero.

WHAT IS WRONG:  It is a slow pace, somber and very intense.

SHOULD YOU WATCH:  If you are a fan of the book this film is the most accurate version yet.  It is not action-packed but it does have action.
