Storyline

As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment, the fate of Earth and existence has never been more uncertain.

Trivia

There was originally a draft of the script where Captain America saving Vision was Cap's first appearance in this movie. Like Lancelot in Excalibur (1981), Captain America shows up in this key moment of the battle to save Vision.

Goofs

Thanos and his henchmen find the Infinity Stones at once, like they somehow 'felt' their exact location. If they did, then Thanos shouldn't need Gamora to find the Soul Stone. If they didn't, they shouldn't appear right where Vision and Dr Strange are with their respective Stones.

Quotes

[first lines]
Asgardian Distress Call: This is the Asgardian refugee vessel Statesman. We are under assault. I repeat, we are under assault. The engines are dead, life support failing. Requesting aid from any vessel within range. We are 22 jump points out of Asgard. Our crew is made up of Asgardian families. We have very few soldiers here. This is not a warcraft. I repeat, this is not a warcraft!

Crazy Credits

There is one after-credits scene and no mid-credit scenes, something which Marvel hasn't done since Iron Man 3 (2013).

---

Alternate Versions

The film's IMAX release presented the film open-matte, at an aspect ratio of 1.90:1, meaning there was more picture information visible in the top and bottom of the frame than in normal theaters and on home video.

User Reviews

EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER

Avengers infinity war is an emotional roller coaster. Using the strength of its powerful and interesting villain, the movie successfully brings together the past 10 years of Marvel movies into a largely effective cocktail of super-heroic dramatics. Joe and Anthony Russo create a superhero movie that it's every bit the epic that it needs to be. However prepared you feel, you are not ready for Thanos. Infinity war is stunning, hilarious and heartbreaking. Rating: 10
