Immortals bring new life to the MCU

●●●●●

Nomadland’s Chloé Zhao was the perfect choice to helm an expansive tale of a race of immortal beings who have lived on Earth and shaped its history as they find themselves scattered across the globe.

There are some dazzling and dizzying sequences that reveal just how long the immortals have been plying their trade and there’s a lot to take in during the two-anda-half hours – which sees it clock in as the second longest MCU outing after Avengers: Endgame.

Like the latter flick, the stakes are high and talk of overpopulation and extinction evokes memories of Thanos’motivations.
