  1. I got my PS5 a few months ago at Best Buy. I woke at 4am. Was casually looking at Twitter, and saw that it was dropping at the store that day. Wasn't going back to bed now. Drove off in my pajamas. Got in line just in time because it wrapped around the building. Waited in line for 2.5 hours in the pouring rain. Worth it. I've been playing Avengers ever since.

    By the way...my first impression was that I generally enjoyed the film, but there were enough unresolved ideas in it for me to think I could reverse that later.  All movies have flaws, even masterpieces, so just because there are problems doesn't rule out a film being great.  I left the theater under the impression that they wanted the story to be that humans are special because their audience is all humans, but I wasn't sure of it--and even if that's why they did it I don't see that it's necessarily a fatal flaw, I'm just trying to determine if that was indeed their thinking.

    It took me months to think through the more complex story elements of Prometheus after I saw it before I ultimately decided if I liked it, which I ultimately did.  The whole Engineer story is far more complex and stimulating than that of the xenomorphs, although certainly the xenomorphs are far more emotionally visceral and satisfying in their own way in their better films, particularly Cameron's "Aliens."  So I anticipate it'll be a few months before I ultimately decide how much I enjoyed Eternals, too.

    Same here. I didn't love the movie, but I was entertained. I very much enjoyed the departure from the typical MCU movies. This one was a tad more adult in themes, it had a larger scope, bigger character development. I just felt like some of the acting was over-acting like Angelina Jolie's Thena. What I really enjoyed was the "look" of their cosmic powers. We've never seen anything like it in the other movies.

    I don't want to read through this thread since I just started watching this series.  I am only half way through Season 1.  My daughter called and told me I should watch it and I have to say, it is great.  I saw the original Westworld and Futureworld movies back in the 70s which at the time I thought was very good.  I did not watch Beyond Westworld but may go back watch the few episodes from that series.

    But the HBO Series is really amazing.

    Just temper your expectations for season 2.
