Synopsis: To balance the universe from desolation, Thanos aims
to snuff away half of its lifeform, which he believes can be done if he yields
all the six infinity stones viz., reality, time, power, space, soul & mind.
However, his imposing plan gets stalled by earth’s mightiest heroes ‘The
Avengers’ & ‘Guardians of Galaxy’.
What MCU had been lacking for so long, was a perfect villain.
Loki did impose his mischief charisma in his earlier outings like in ‘The Avengers’
or ‘Thor’ but it never was as intimidating & terrifying as Josh Brolin’s exhibition
of Thanos. He not only nailed the character but demonstrated what a perfect
nemesis can be, which not just dictates audience but admiration. Of course, his
minions, the members of Black Order were no less daunting, look out for the
character Ebony Maw flawlessly depicted by Tom Vaughan-Lawlor.
Kudos for putting in so many characters & yet making it perfectly
balanced with coherent plot. Each member gets his & her share to shine. The action
sequences were prodigious, something which we now are acquainted with & expect
nothing short of spectacular from such franchise.
Infinity War has ventured into an uncharted path, where very
few movies will ever dare to do; stakes were high for Anthony & Joe Russo,
as it could have gone either way as it did with last year’s Justice League. It
took a decade of meticulous planning of interlaced stories to finally unleash the
wrath of mad titan. Did it pay off? Hell yeah, what did you expect! Infinity
War is not just a movie but a cinematic phenomenon, ready to awe & shock the reactionary followers of MCU franchise & general audiences alike.
Be ready to be blown away.
My Verdict : Highly Recommended - 9/10
