The final chapter of the Infinity Saga story arc which started from 2008’s Iron Man is finally coming to an end with the twenty-second instalment in Marvel Cinematic Universe which the six original members of the Avengers are assembling together for one final mission to save the world.

Three weeks after the events of Avengers: Infinity War, the Avengers along with Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, Nebula and Rocket Raccoon have failed to bring back half of the universe’s population because Thanos (Brolin) has destroyed the Infinity Stones to prevent any further use.

Five years later, Scott Lang/Ant-Man escapes the Quantum Realm but he is unaware of what has happened while he was stuck in there. After learning everything that has happened in his absence, he meets Steve Rogers/Captain America (Evans) and Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow in the Avengers Compound. They learn from Scott that time flows differently in Quantum Realm because he only stuck in there for few hours.

Believing that the Quantum Realm is the key to restore everything back to normal, they recruit the other members along with Nebula and Rocket Raccoon while Captain Marvel is elsewhere protecting the galaxies. Tony Stark/Iron Man (Downey Jr.) initially refuses to join but he soon changes his mind. Together, they go on a time travelling mission and will do whatever it takes to retrieve the past version of the Infinity Stones without causing time paradox. The fate of the world is now counting on the Avengers.

Having watched all the past instalments in this franchise, I got to say that this is definitely the best and most emotional movie in the history of superhero movies. If you think Avengers: Infinity War is the most emotional movie, wait till you watch this one. You will definitely cry and be sure to bring some tissues to wipe your tears. If you have been keeping up with the franchise since day one, you will feel it since by now, you would have invested so much in the characters. Although I never cried, I felt very sad but yet I am very happy to be part of it.

The plot of the movie is satisfying, solid, good and a very epic conclusion to the franchise current story arc. Every members of the cast gave their best performance especially Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans. It was a truly magnificent performance from everyone since this is the final chapter and some of the cast are leaving after this movie which is quite sad too. The fighting scenes are very well done and the final battle is very epic and awesome just like in The Lord of the Rings series. Despite the movie’s runtime is 3 hours 2 minutes, you will get the feeling that the movie is around 2 hours 30 minutes because the pacing is very good and lots of scenes are not very boring or move too slow.

Diehard fans of the franchise must definitely watch this movie. Do whatever it takes to watch it and you cannot afford to miss this one otherwise I can guarantee you will regret it later. Having mentioned the movie runtime earlier, I would advise you not to drink too much water while watching. You do not want to end up going to the bathroom right in the middle of the movie. You simply cannot miss any scenes at all cost.

Although the movie is the final chapter of The Infinity Saga, it is not the final movie of Phase 3. That honour goes to the upcoming movie, Spider-Man: Far From Home, which serves as the final movie of the current phase. For the first time since 2008’s The Incredible Hulk, there are no post credits scenes at all. Not even mid credits scenes. Once the credits starts rolling, feel free to leave the cinema and go to the bathroom after sitting for a long hour of watching the movie.
