This is the one the other movies have been building up to. There are so many characters that they had to introduce. If you haven't seen the latest Thor, Guardians of the Galaxy and Black Panther then you may be a little lost. Geekdad always has a good guide to this sort of movie. They don't give spoilers and I'll try not to either.
Anyone who has seen it will notice something wrong with the still for the trailer above.
This is a pretty epic move at over two and a half hours. It keeps switching between different locations on Earth and elsewhere, so I didn't have problems keeping track. There's a nice sequence in Edinburgh around locations I know well.
It all centres around Thanos who wants to acquire all the magical infinity stones so he can execute his grand plan. He's pretty ruthless in that and he has a massive army to help him. Even so he seems to do a lot of the work himself. There have been rumours that we would lose some major characters and you should be prepared for some 'OMG!' moments.
Of course the effects are stunning. I saw this with my son at the local IMAX and it was a sensory overload. I found the 3D more noticeable than some others. The Geekdad article suggests 3D may make some darker scenes harder to make out, but I didn't find that. You often cannot tell what is CGI in some scenes, but I found Thanos didn't look quite real enough at times. Some characters don't have much to do other than fight, but there's some nice interplay, especially between Thor and the Guardians and between Tony Stark and Dr Strange. Personally I'd love to see a Groot movie :)
You have to see this if you have been following the other movies. It's part one of two and we will have to wait a while for part two. The ending definitely leaves a lot of open questions. You need to hang around until after the very long credits for a single extra scene.
This feature talks about some of the other movies we may get before part two. I hadn't even heard of some of them. I expect to be seeing Deadpool 2 pretty soon. Other movies coming up are Solo: A Star Wars Story and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Captain Marvel should be interesting as Marvel have not had a female lead before.
Update: Just found this timeline for all that happens in the movies, including the latest.

I cant wait for DEADPOOL 2!
i actually appreciate that fact that you're not going to give any spoilers, good heads up really didn't know there is so many movies in the pipeline
thanks Steve!
Gotta watch this!, although there are a couple of films i should watch first like Black Panter and Thor... I think all the movies came very close and should be a little hard to catch up, anyway, will be fun to watch all those together :)
I recommend watching those first, but you would enjoy it anyway
I'm definitely going to take the kids to see this at the weekend. I don't think Marvel could have combined more film references for this movie than they have, but all great ones. Guardians of the galaxy was epic.
PS your PI cases have just shipped out and will be with you tomorrow or Wednesday.
I'll look out for the package. Thanks
Apart from Black Panther (and I only saw 2/3 of that, because my young son was too scared to continue), I haven't watched any of these big Marvel movies. Call me quaint, but I prefer stories that focus on one hero. Too many, and the thread gets lost for me.
I guess it's a bit like the classic war movies where you would switch between different groups. I don't expect everyone to like it. Black Panther is very good.
Good point. I am more forgiving with that kind of movie. (And of course I watch plenty of shows with lots of different protags - GoT, Westworld, etc.) I guess it's just harder for me to get emotionally invested in superheroes.
yeah can't wait to see it :)
This is the one I have been waiting to see :)
When the Infinity War trailer hit YouTube, the fanboy in me screamed like a little girl. Also with the Russo brothers at its helm, who previously directed Captain America: TWS and CW, this will be the biggest summer blockbuster of 2018.
Loving the Marvel movies! I do not go to see them in theaters as the cost is too much but I will see them it just takes a little longer for me to catch up on the series of movies. LOL. Thanks!
The IMAX wasn't cheap, but it was fun.
That was a scene to watch. really!The day before #Avengers infinity war released in our country, the cineplex ticket building's door was closed at morning. When the door opened the avenger lover #RUN like a ghost to collect tickets chasing one another.
I will wait for this movie😍
