The prime directive rpg movie#
Josh: I didn’t really engage with the movie until Arishem’s explaining the mission, and it becomes this bizarre ’70s pulp sci-fi thing. And I was extremely bored for the first hour. Josh: That’s a really good point about the framing of expectations, because I went into this with no expectations, other than that it’d contain a lot of the standard Marvel beats, which it didn’t, really. Like, “Okay, well, it’s not working for me, but it might work for a lot of other people.” There were storytelling techniques that weren’t working for me, but once it was pointed out to me that this movie has a lot of Wuxia flavor, it kind of shifted the lens a little bit. Not great, it wasn’t amazing, but the visuals, a lot of the combat sequences, and some of the core concepts were cool. In the present day, believing that the Deviants were eliminated 500 years earlier, the Eternals mostly settle into human-seeming lives, getting jobs, falling in love, hiding their powers - the usual - until a Deviant shows up in downtown London and everything they thought they knew about their mission is revealed to be false.Īrley: For me, it was a perfectly fine movie. Thousands of years ago, the godlike Celestial Arishem (voiced by David Kaye) sent a squad of immortal, humanoid Eternals to Earth to hunt down alien monsters called Deviants, and to provide humanity with guidance and assistance in developing civilization, from Babylon all the way through to the modern world.
