They then have individual characteristics, that can be described as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><\/b><b>Ajak <\/b>(Salma Hayek) is the matriarch of the Eternals. She has all the powers of the average Eternals, but the one thing she can do that the others can\u2019t is communicate with their creators, the Celestials.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b><\/b><b>Sersi <\/b>(Gemma Chan) is an Eternal who is in love with mankind who lives in London and works at the Natural History Museum.

What distinguishes\u00a0him\u00a0from the others in the comic strips is his skill with a sword; in the film he is given a Bollywood twist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b><\/b><b>Phastos<\/b> (Brian Tyree Henry), is an Eternal who is a brilliant inventor and tech savvy.

One can perceive only an inkling of the filmmaker\u2019s empathetic touch in unveiling real human moments, when she uses unconventional humour in the science fiction. It is palpable that to tell this story, Zhao attempted to blend the epic with the intimate side, but in doing so she succeeds only visually. The choice of filming in real locations, using spherical wide-angle lenses and depth of field, does provide grandeur to explore the relationship between the characters and the world they live in.
