The film has been discussed for months, since its release in late-April. Now, thanks to Disney, and the superhero gods, “Avengers: Infinity War” is finally hitting Blu-ray this week and because we’re the pushers trying to get you your much-needed Marvel Studios fix, we’re giving away a few copies to our readers.
Now, for those that aren’t aware (and I seriously worry about you if you haven’t at least HEARD of the $2+ billion grosser), “Avengers: Infinity War” is the beginning of a culmination of 10 years’ worth of stories, told throughout almost 20 films. Starring just about every A-list actor on the planet, the superhero epic finds the Avengers up against their greatest foe, the Mad Titan Thanos. At stake is the fate of the universe, as Thanos (and his underlings) attempt to retrieve 6 all-powerful stones that have been scattered throughout the galaxy. If he gets the stones, Thanos’ goal is to wipe out half of all life in the universe. But that won’t ever happen because this is a superhero film and the good guys always prevail, right? …Right?
The new “Avengers: Infinity War” Blu-ray features tons of extras including over two hours of exclusive bonus content featuring never-before-seen details behind the scenes, a ten-year history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a filmmaker roundtable, deleted scenes and much more. Plus, you’ll obviously get the film and you’ll need to spend the next year dissecting every word and scene.
