There have been many mentions of the infinity stones and their powers. If you have seen Avengers Age of Ultron, you will have come across Vision (a merge of J.A.R.V.I.S., Ultron, and the Mind Stone). Then if you have seen Doctor Strange (2016), you definitely will have come across the power of the Time Stone. Then there is a Titan named Thanos who wants to harness the power of all the infinity stones and use it to save the Universe. The problem with his method of trying to save the Universe is to use the power of the stones to wipe out at random half of the universe occupants. You know if you look at it from another angle, Thanos is not much of a bad guy, just that his solution to the problem of limiting resources is random genocide.

The stones were the first thing to exist before the Universe and they have the power to make the same Universe extinct. Avengers Infinity War is the first of a two part Avengers story to sum up the story of the Infinity Stones.

It continues the tale of our heroes from 2012's The Avengers and 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron, and it is the nineteenth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The movie has cool graphics with a very engaging story-line. Put together this is one amazing movie to see. Now the movie sets the path to the next Avengers movie, but also introduces a new character Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel which we get to see their origin tale in Captain Marvel. Although we do not get to see her in the movie, but this movie end scene showed a message being sent to her from Nick Fury.

Now the movie plot has been summarized above, with Thanos hunting the universe looking for the stones. He came to Asgard, which is now a flying ship and with his men killed almost all the Asgardians to collect one of the stones. Then he sent his men to earth to retrieve the Mind and Time stone, while he went after the Soul stone.

Thor and Hulk were able to get away not killed in the Thanos raid. And they regrouped with as much heroes they could find to take down Thanos and his men.

Steve Rogers/Captain America came to know of this threat and he was able to bring his team with the people of Wakanda to stop the rage of the Titan. While all of this was going on Iron Man, Spider Man and Strange are also going up against Thanos to try and stop him.

But, you have to see all the movie has to offer to see what led to the second part.

The movie was both a critical and commercial success for Disney in a huge way and because we are aware of the presence of Captain Marvel audience flocked to the movies to see what she will bring to the last movie of this two part saga, Avengers: Endgame (2019).
