Story by Mark Reyes
Directed by Mark A. Reyes D.G.P.I.
Screenplay by Gina Marissa Tagasa-Gil

A few days ago I reposted an old thing I have written about Moments of LoveThere was something about the year Moments of Love was shown. I pondered and pondered then I checked the movies I have seen that year. I wasn't able to check everything.  I did not need to for I saw it almost immediately: ETERNITY.  This was shown months after Moments of Love.

Both movies tackled about the past and the present, but Eternity is about reincarnation and Moments of Love isn't.

The movie showed the present and the past intermittently.  There were moments when I thought it was like DEAD AGAIN. Nora Roberts' MIDNIGHT BAYOU was shown three years later, so I couldn't have compared this with that movie when I watched it the first time.

Anyways, if you have not seen Eternity, then I wouldn't say if I was right in comparing it with Dead Again.

The movie is also of international calibre.  It is well acted and there were a lot of moving scenes.  Yes, there were a lot of heartstrings pulled.

The fight scenes were also done well.

There are many reincarnation movies, I know, but this still has a lot to offer.  There are many surprises a long the way and both present and past lovers are convincing.

They four have a great supporting cast too.

Needless to say, it was written and directed well.

Would I watch it again?

Of course!
