- orangeco4117h agoIn eternity you still have to water the grass
- thomasrogers753November 29, 2025This was actually fire I cannot lie, a very pleasant surprise All of this movie really works, I thought it was going to be really predictable but man that final 25 minutes through me for a loop and I am very happy Tbh the amount of kids who wouldn’t stop making noise after 67 was mentioned pissed me off after the first mention 😐
- Jabbar1111December 31, 2025Eternity is a love story wrapped in the illusion of forever, only to gently reveal that what the heart truly longs for is not endless time, but real love. The film drifts through the idea of immortality like a dream—beautiful, tempting, and distant. But beneath its promise of “always” is a quieter truth: love does not need eternity to be infinite. It needs presence. It needs choice. It needs two hearts willing to meet each other honestly, even when time is fragile. What Eternity captures so tenderly is the ache of wanting to be chosen—not once, not because of fate, but because of feeling. The characters learn that love without depth becomes lonely, and forever without connection feels empty. An unending life cannot replace a single moment of being truly seen. The most romantic truth the film offers is this: real love is brave enough to exist without guarantees. It trembles, it risks loss, and it burns brighter because it knows time is precious. In that way, love becomes sacred—not because it lasts forever, but because it is real while it lasts. By the end, Eternity leaves you with a soft ache in your chest and a knowing in your soul. We don’t want immortality. We want someone who chooses us with their whole heart. We want love that feels honest, alive, and deeply human. Because one lifetime of real love will always be worth more than an eternity without it.
- RicFlix1December 23, 2025I'm not a rom-com person, but I make an exception for this film. Gets my vote for one of the best in the rom-com genre of the 21st century. Excellent concept well executed - this could have been a rom-com in any decade with different stars and it would've worked just as well.
- Alex LyonsMarch 29, 2026A reflective movie that asks whether young love that didn’t get a chance to bloom can outweigh a tried and true love that has grown to know its problems as well as its strengths.
- ScottPlexDecember 26, 2025A fine Saturday afternoon film.
- misterf47January 19, 2026I’m not crying…. You’re crying. I began the film with zero expectations, without seeing a trailer/preview, or without any knowledge of what it was even about besides knowing that Olsen played one of the lead characters. What I didn’t expect was the fact that I’d be adding this movie to my personal list of all time favorite movies! All three lead actors, as well as the supporting actors, did a phenomenal job in this film. The film does a great job of showcasing the emotional turmoils felt and seen from three different perspectives. A must see movie for those that like to wonder what could happen in the after life!
- itrustme1209December 24, 2025Amazing film!
- unp1ugg3dJanuary 14, 2026Straight from 90s! Delightful, original and fun to watch!
- Ike EyidahJanuary 8, 2026I have to say I liked the cast but it’s not much of a story and I quickly lost interest. What can I say, I’m a grumpy old man, and I don’t go in for the lovey dovey stuff.
- Rick MastersDecember 24, 2025Great concept, excellent performances… It was at risk of becoming a little stale 2/3rds through but the pacing gave itself a nudge and it kept my attention. Love the World building, the creativity and it inspired some pretty deep conversations between me and the Mrs afterwards. Very much recommended.
- Sheila RoseMarch 22, 2026Cute Story
- PlexecutionerXMarch 2, 2026They don't make movies like this anymore... Really cute
- SirMonkalotJanuary 10, 2026This made me feel warm and fuzzy inside in all the best ways! Everyone they cast was excellent and made the movie work so well. It felt vibrant and colourful, the set designs were perfect. We need more movies like this. Took off half a star for false advertising. This movie did not last an eternity.
- Hipster ZOMBIEFebruary 22, 2026There was a time when the mere sight of the A24 logo felt like a secret handshake. Bold, strange, maybe a little unhinged in a good way. “Eternity,” however, feels less like daring art-house sorcery and more like a group project where everyone kept saying “yes” to studio notes until the soul quietly left the room. On paper, the premise has teeth. The afterlife as bureaucratic playground? Existential comedy with emotional stakes? Great. Sign me up. In execution, though, it plays like a middling sketch that somehow won a contest to be stretched to feature length. The film’s depiction of the great beyond has all the sharp insight of a rejected late-night monologue. Imagine an SNL bit about heaven that gets a polite chuckle at minute three and then just… continues. The cast looks impressive, at least in the trailer. Elizabeth Olsen and Miles Teller are clearly trying. You can see them straining to inflate emotional depth into scenes that deflate on contact. They do what they can with the material, but chemistry requires friction, and this ensemble feels like coworkers stuck in an awkward team-building exercise. Sparks never fly. If this is the great beyond I’m happy with just being worm food. Surrounding them is a parade of comedians who appear to have been hired under the bold assumption that simply being comedians would cause jokes to materialize. They do not. Punchlines drift by like lost balloons. Bits begin, gesture toward absurdity, and then wander off before landing anywhere remotely funny. The film seems convinced that quirk equals wit. It does not. The most frustrating part is that you can sense a decent story buried under the rubble. There are flashes, brief glimmers of something poignant about love, mortality, and the terrifying possibility that the afterlife might be just as administratively tedious as Earth. But every time the film approaches something honest, it veers back into a flat, paint by numbers gag. It feels like a script that went through so many rounds of notes it forgot what it wanted to say. And that’s where this decent concept goes off the rails very very quickly. “Eternity” is not daring. It is not provocative. It is not even memorably bad. It is the cinematic equivalent of waiting in line at the DMV. Amazon’s sci-fi Dramedy, “Upload” did this concept much better, with funnier characters and a more engrossing plot. Maybe watch that instead.
