The movie, Eternity, starring Elizabeth Olsen and Miles Teller, is built on the concept that after death you get sent on a train to a temporary afterlife where you can pick how you want to spend eternity. You can pick a beach, mountain, Paris, heaven, and many others; however, you can only choose one place and once you’re there, there’s no going back. This movie follows a husband, Larry, who died in his old age before his wife, Joan, did and he was setting up their eternity together when she died as well, joining him in the afterlife. Before they could go to their eternity, her first husband who died in war, Luke, when she was 19 finds her and tells her that he had been waiting 67 years. Although, you can only choose one person to spend eternity with. With the afterlife coordinators, she gets a chance to spend a day in the eternities with each husband in order to make her decision. 

SPOILERS: Joan ends up choosing Luke after Larry tells her that she should go with him and that she was happiest with him. After a couple weeks with Luke, she realizes that she made the wrong decision when she is constantly going to the memory tunnels to remember her kids and her life with Larry. So with Luke she creates a plan to escape through the red door and find her way back to Larry. She has to go through her bad memories again to get back to the afterlife. She finds him waiting there as a bartender for her and they run into a “discontinued” eternity together. 

This movie was a roller coaster of emotions with laughter, tears and a way of making you reminisce on your own life. As much as you think you would choose the first or second husband, you find yourself understanding how hard it would be to pick between someone you wanted a life with but never got or someone you spent your life with. It makes you reflect on what you would do and how you’ve spent your life. I would recommend this movie to everyone but especially people who are romantics and enjoy a good love triangle. It was a solid 8/10 and I will be watching it again.
