TAKE HOME A PIECE OF CINEMATIC HISTORY



MARVEL STUDIOS’  

“AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR”
ARRIVED DIGITALLY ON July 31st
AND BLU-RAY ON August 14th


Go behind the scenes of the No. 4 film of all time to gain exclusive access to more than two hours of never-before-revealed details of its unprecedented, ten-year cinematic journey which includes an epic filmmaker roundtable, an inside look at the surprising Super Hero pair-ups, deleted scenes and more!


My husband and I had a great Friday night date night at home, thanks to the new Avengers: Infinity War Blu-ray I was sent to review.  This was one of the movies we really hoped to see on the big screen, but had to miss due to one of the girls being sick.  Ever since, it has been on my radar and calendar to pick up, so that we can enjoy, as we are both Avengers fans.  And, this movie, even though we had read spoilers and saw multiple clips over the months, didn't disappoint.  It drew us in right from the start, and had us engaged right up until the very last minutes.  And, once the movie was over, we spent the next couple hours watching all the fun bonus material, including a gag reel, deleted and extended scenes, and featurettes.   Marvel Studios always gives fans of their movie great bonus material, and this Blu-ray, which hit stores shelves on Tuesday, was amazing.  Usually I will wait and watch the bonus content over a few days after viewing the movie, but my husband and I couldn't stop watching all the featurettes and that, as they were just as good as the movie.  We even ended up watching the movie again on Sunday night with the commentary turned on, to get a more in-depth look at the scenes and how the story line came about.


I could go on and on about how great the MARVEL STUDIOS’   “AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR”  movie was, but you have probably already seen it in theaters, and have just been waiting for it to arrive on Digital or Blu-ray to add to your growing Marvel Studios movie collection.   This Avengers movie was my favorite by far, and I am so happy to now own the movie and be able to watch it whenever I want.  :-)  My husband is already talking about watching it again this upcoming Friday, after having seen it twice already this past weekend.  And, you know what?...I am up for it! :-)


As you gear up for another work week, here is a quick gag reel from Avengers: Infinity War, which will make you laugh and make Monday a little bit more bearable. :-) 


 
Experience the full gag reel along with additional featurettes, commentaries tracks, deleted scenes and more when Avengers: Infinity War releases on Blu-ray™ this Tuesday, August 14th.
