Eternals (2021)

Stupidity: When Thena suffers from her first spell of Mahd WY'ry, Ajak knows what it is and flat out tells her that they have the technology on the ship to wipe her memory off to start over. Somehow none of them asks themselves any question about any of this. They all think that this mission was their first mission, but for the plot to work everyone in those boring 6500 years together must have never talked to each other about their past - Sersi accepts instantly the fact that her home planet doesn't exist, so she doesn't seem to have any strong recollection about it. And nobody ever inquires Thena about those memories of other planets ending up in disasters.

Eternals (2021)

Other mistake: In the credits you can read a thank you for some of the filming that took place "at the Manoeuveres and Shooting Range of Paraja." Besides the misspelling of "manoeuvres", the shooting range is in Pajara, in the Canary islands. (02:34:00)

Continuity mistake: When Dane and Sersi hug towards the end of the movie, depending on the camera angle she has her right arm above his shoulder or not. (02:20:50)

Eternals (2021)

Stupidity: Phastus' partner learns with astonishment about the giant-shaped rock in the Indian Ocean from the TV and asks "You guys did that?" He must have lived under a rock to be asking that in a scene that takes place two weeks after the events and without a doubt has been all over the news ever since. (02:16:45)

Eternals (2021)

Other mistake: Phastus says "I always wondered how we survived the destruction of other planets that we were on." Always? That's odd phrasing; he learned the mere fact that they have been on other planets that ended up destroyed only literally a few hours before.

Eternals (2021)

Continuity mistake: On the beach for the ending, Phastus asks Sersi "How, how did you do it?" Her hair is mostly clean off the shoulder, but in the next shot she has a mess of hair all over that shoulder which goes away again when it cuts back to the previous camera angle. (02:14:00)

Eternals (2021)

Continuity mistake: When the Deviant has Thena in his grasp, he caresses her. As he says "Remember", her hair is in front of the left shoulder, and it was all the way back behind the shoulder in the previous shot. (02:05:50)

Eternals (2021)

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)

Eternals (2021)

Continuity mistake: When Thena stabs the Deviant, he grabs her spear for a moment, then before the cut pulls the arm back. Next shot and he repeats the movement. (02:04:45)

Eternals (2021)

Continuity mistake: Sersi needs to go all the way up the mountain for the Emergence. Phastus tells "We got you. Go", having a hand on her shoulder, gone mid-sentence and the position of Sersi's hair changed entirely as well. (01:59:15)

Other mistake: During the fight against Ikaris on the mothership, Thena is not wearing the bracelet that allows the formation of the Unimind and that she wore when she was suited up. (01:55:45)

Eternals (2021)

Other mistake: Makkari looks for the Emergence using Phastos' special radar that he built. She comes back to base telling them she found the Emergence point, but does not say where it is. Despite leaving early, Ikaris is already there waiting for them; he doesn't have any problem finding it himself.

Eternals (2021)

Continuity mistake: When Phastus starts talking to Sersi about the sphere inside of her, his hand position is inconsistent between shots several times until he mentions the Uni-Mind. (01:53:05)

Audio problem: When Sersi helps Phastus on his feet after the Unimind's plans exploded, she yells "He lied to us", but her lips are not moving. (01:46:40)

Eternals (2021)

Continuity mistake: When Ajak lands on the fresh snow after she was pushed down, the camera is behind Salma Hayek, and we see her move her hand tap the snow a few times leaving some prints. Reverse angle, and there are fingerprints in the snow around the position her hand is in, showing it moved. (01:40:05)

Eternals (2021)

Continuity mistake: When for some reason the two Eternals in Phastos' living room feel they have to hide the fact that they're looking at his family life, they sit down in a rush and Ikaris reads some product placement. The objects on the table change position between shots - for instance, look at the Connect Four board. (01:26:55)

Continuity mistake: Phastos' son screams excited that Ikaris is Superman; Phastos calms him down with his hand, but his son touches him in return on the inside of the elbow. Next shot and Jack's hand is in a different spot. (01:26:20)

Continuity mistake: On the Hiroshima site, Ajak approaches Phastus. She puts her hand on his back, but it's on the shoulder in the next shot, and only later she slips it to his back. They change position also when she caresses his cheek and in the faraway shot that concludes the intermission. (01:24:55)
