Why did I list SOME of the characters and actors? I wanted to show you just how star-studded and incredible this film is. It’s pretty much all of your favorite Marvel universe characters all in ONE film. AMAZING!
The feared and powerful Thanos is on a quest to retrieve all of the infinity stones so that he can be the most powerful person in the entire universe. He will stop at nothing and spare no lives in order to have every stone.
The stones are scattered throughout the universe, with two of the stones being here on Earth.
Once he has all of the stone, Thanos plans on destroying half of all life in the universe so that things can “reset” themselves and things can get better. He feels like life has got so bad that this is the only way that things can be set right away, no matter what the cost to human life is.
In effort to stop Thanos, many of the Marvel characters join forces, both here on Earth and in space. They are not only trying to stop Thanos, but also his “goons” and to protect the remaining infinity stones no matter what.
Will Thanos succeed in obtaining all of the infinity stones? Will any of our beloved Marvel characters parish in the fight against Thanos? To find out you need to pick up, or download, Avengers: Infinity War. Look for it where ever movies are sold.
I would have given more of a synopsis, but I didn’t want to give away much of the story. You have to see it for yourself, especially if you are a Marvel fan.
To say this film is jam-packed with action is an understatement. From the moment the movie first starts to the very end it’s non-stop action.
The special effects in this film will blow your mind! I was very impressed by them, but then again, no Marvel movie I have ever seen has failed to impress me when it comes to the special effects.
I regret not seeing this on the big screen. I bet the film was 100x’s better on the big screen.
Frankly, I was SHOCKED how the film played out as far as characters that were killed off. Yes, I said that, KILLED OFF! I don’t know how they are going to make anymore Marvel movies without many important characters. I was actually upset that they killed so many off – including one of my personal favorites.
Sigh…

Even if you are not a fan of the Marvel films you’ll love this film. My husband is not really a “fan boy” of any Marvel (or superheroes), yet he fully enjoyed this film. He didn’t even know who half the characters were. I had to pause the film several times to explain some of the characters backstories.
Be sure to watch it all the way to the very end for an “Easter egg,” as it’s called. It’s a little snippet that usually hints at a future film. I only saw one “Easter egg.”
Below you’ll find the film’s trailer.
