Ancient, immortal beings emerge from the shadows to protect humanity from an epic, melancholic struggle.
Intimate and melancholy. A full-attention watch at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
Streaming on Disney+.
For a PG-13, this one goes further: moderate sex and nudity. Beyond that, mild language and strong violence.
Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the PG-13 suggests, because of the sex and nudity.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
The Eternals are a team of ancient aliens who have been living on Earth in secret for thousands of years. When an unexpected tragedy forces them out of the shadows, they are forced to reunite against mankind’s most ancient enemy, the Deviants.
It leaves things open rather than tying them up.
