Avengers: Endgame Blu-ray includes plenty of special bonus extras

By Tribute on August 13, 2019 | Leave a Comment


The conclusion to Marvel’s Infinity Saga makes its way to the home video market with special features highlighting the journey.

With the Avengers dealing with the aftermath of Thanos’ decimation from the use of the Infinity Stones, the survivors band together with the recently returned Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) to hunt him down. Looking to use the Infinity Stones themselves to undo all the damage, they are disheartened to find a crippled Thanos has destroyed the stones.

With no other options, the Avengers attempt to move on, until Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) returns from the Quantum Realm, bringing with him the possibility of time travel. With a new road opened before them, the Avengers embark on one final mission to retrieve the Infinity Stones from different points in time and do whatever it takes to bring everyone back.

With 12 years of buildup to this conclusion, there was a lot to look forward to with this film, and with so many moving parts within it, Avengers: Endgame could have folded under the immense pressure. The film succeeds on so many levels, especially following the cliffhanger ending of Avengers: Infinity War. That it works as well as it does is a testament to the incredible work of directors Joe and Anthony Russo, as well as the writing duo of Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely in telling a narrative that manages to juggle multiple storylines and an almost unwieldy amount of characters. However, this review isn’t about the film itself, but for its home video release.

For our full review from the film’s theatrical release click here.

As for the film’s anticipated home video release, there’s a lot to like. First and foremost the film transfers well onto Blu-ray and looks great on TV. That was never going to be in doubt.

The standard Blu-ray release comes with two discs, along with a digital copy of the film. Disc 1, the film disc, features an introduction by the film’s directors, as well as an audio commentary track that also brings in the film’s writers. It’s your standard audio track that provides interesting insights into the film and the process it took to make it all work. However, it’s a disappointment that with so many cast members in the film, it’s a shame Disney and Marvel didn’t take an opportunity to include some cast commentaries.

On the bonus features side, the second disc contains seven featurettes, as well as your standard inclusion of deleted scenes and a gag reel. On this side, the film doesn’t disappoint as much as the Blu-ray release of Avengers: Infinity War, which contained only four featurettes. There is a greater sense of variety with the featurettes in Endgame with the Stan Lee tribute as well as the  Captain America-centric featurette being real standouts.

For a film as big as Avengers: Endgame, the special features feel somewhat lacking. There’s always an option for Disney and Marvel to come out with an extended/collector’s edition version of the film with more content. There definitely is more content out there, considering that one of the bonus scenes included in the film’s theatrical re-release, featuring an unfinished Professor Hulk scene, isn’t included here, which I found odd. However, for most people who just can’t wait to add the film to their collection and want to be able to do back-to-back viewings of Infinity War and Endgame, this will satisfy. ~Paolo Maquiraya
