Avengers: Infinity War is Now Available on Blu-ray! Check out the Bonus Features

A big thank you to Disney Studios for flying me out to LA for this press event.

When I was in LA last month for the Christopher Robin Event, we had an amazing time at Madame Tussauds learning all about the home release of Avengers: Infinity War. We were able to see a couple of the deleted scenes that are included in the bonus features of the Blu-ray.

Avengers: Infinity War

The Marvel Cinematic Universe film Avengers: Infinity War has been 10 years in the making. Marvel  has been building up to this one film for over a decade. I don’t think I am stretching at all when I say that this is one of the most anticipated movies of the year and now it can be enjoyed in the comfort of your home.

All of our favorite heroes unite to take on the universe’s biggest villain to date, Thanos. The story surrounds Thanos quest to obtain the infamous Infinity Stones. Thanos wants the six infinity stones so that he can be the most powerful person in the universe and be basically unstoppable. He can achieve this by killing half of the population of the universe with a snap of his Infinity Gauntlet fingers.

My Thoughts

I love that this film is out on home release because it is long and intense. Now I can pause and rewind and head to the restroom whenever I want and not miss anything.  I have seen the movie in theatres a few times but I still have questions so I am excited to have my own copy in my home.

Like many of the Marvel movies before it, Infinity War was both funny and full of adventure and makes you feel for the characters. It starts where Thor: Ragnarok leaves off as Thor’s ship is being approached by a much larger spacecraft.

I am going to keep talking about the movie as though you have all seen it. So if you haven’t, you might not want to keep reading. (Spoiler Alert)

You know that things are never going to be the same in the Marvel universe in the first 10 minutes of the movie. Loki???  That was a big shock. It made me realize that this movie changes everything and that the Marvel Universe will never be the same.

Throughout the entire movie, we see our favorite characters in situations that they have never found themselves before and an ending that surprised most all of us.  There are not many times in a superhero movie where the villain wins in the end. We all know that the story isn’t over and there is a lot more to be told, thank goodness, but this first movie has broken all the rules.

Infinity War has an unparalleled cast and Marvel manages to keep them all themselves. I was a little worried that we may lose a little of the humor and sass that the Guardians bring to the big screen, but they managed to keep the characters personalities and melded them seamlessly into the Avenger universe. Doctor Strange was also true to his unique visual style that we were introduced to a couple of years ago and I appreciate and am impressed that they were able to meld all of these personalities together in the film.
