Eternals

Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the scene with Thena in the cave, she changes the weapons in her hand to two swords. It cuts to a closer angle, then another, and she (deliberately, not a mistake) switches one weapon to a curved blade. Cut to a wider angle, and someone forgot to add the CGI for that blade, because Angelina Jolie's left hand is gripping thin air there. (02:01:55)

Revealing mistake: Both Sersi and the student she saved have been covered by the fine dust she turned a fossil into, but the only trace of it is a little dust on top of the girl's hair; there's not a speck on her uniform or anywhere else. (00:09:55)

Revealing mistake: During the attack on Druig's village, there's a shot of Gilgamesh and Thena running towards the camera, then stopping as two Deviants fly over them. During this scene, you can see Don Lee (Gilgamesh) briefly look straight at the camera (he's not looking at either the village or the Deviants, since they headed in the opposite direction). (01:13:50)

Factual error: In the scene with Sersi creating water for the crops in Babylonia, it shows corn growing. Corn was only grown in the Americas, originating in Mesoamerica. They should have shown barley, wheat, or something else growing. (00:27:45)

Trivia: After 13 years and 26 films, this is the first movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to receive a "rotten" rating from Rotten Tomatoes upon release. This is somewhat ironic given that there were reports that Marvel considered it the best film they had made yet, and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige felt it could be a nominee for Best Picture at the Oscars, particularly as its director ChloƩ Zhao had recently won the Best Director Oscar for Nomadland, which also won Best Picture.
