Avengers: Infinity War part 1
Quite the movie that I really wanted to see in the last few years. I think I first saw the posters for this two-part movie back in 2014. Having become more of a Marvel fan than a DC fan, I was really excited to see how this movie would turn out. Incidentally, with the Marvel movies of Avengers being played on television in the last few nights, it has helped with my appreciation of this movie.
Visually stunning, the CGI is quite impressive and accurate. Though, I do get sick of CGI's overuse, this movie seems to show restraint and the ability to only thoroughly use CGI with the green screen background in proportion to the special effects.
The storyline seems to be one of an Avenger investigation and then being on the defense as well as a counter to the villany of Thanos (or whatever his name). Unlike the first Avenger movie, this recent Avenger release shows that there is a defined villain (who is out to commit genocide through the universe), versus the Avengers who are "all hands on deck". Apparently, Captain America and his crew are forgiven for their 'misdeeds' from his time challenging Iron Man's authority. Each Avenger is basically loaded with tasks for trying to prevent the apocalypse of mass murder from eventuating. Even Loki shows respectibility in his part for trying to prevent Thanos' acquisition of stones.
Overall, the movie is a satisfying first part of a two-part movie experience. I should be happy to wait the 12 months to see second part of this epic movie.
2018 is shaping up to be a good year for movies.
