The film opens with the group feeling the effects of "the snap". Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.; Sherlock Holmes) and Nebula (Karen Gillan; Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle) are floating around in a spaceship with certain death seemingly looming. Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans: Gifted), Black Widow/Natasha (Scarlet Johansson: Lost In Translation) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth; Snow White and the Huntsman) are at Avengers headquarters trying to figure out how to bring everyone back. Then, at what seems to be the end of life on the spaceship, Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers (Brie Larson; Room) comes and saves Tony and Nebula and meets the Avengers.
Fast forward five years, and we see Scott Lang/Ant-Man (Paul Rudd; I Love You, Man) finally returning from the Quantum Realm, completely unaware of what has happened. He does find his daughter, thankfully, and she fills him in on everything. He then decides to go to the Avengers Headquarters to give them his knowledge of time travel and, along with the help of Steve, Natasha and Tony, try to devise a plan to bring back those they have lost. What ensues is another giant battle with twists and turns - some that are life-changing for the characters.
Avengers: End Game is presented in 2160p, HDR-10, with it's original 2.39:1 aspect ratio. While there isn't too much an improvement over the Blu-ray, the textures and color saturation are more apparent, which does add to a fuller picture. The Dolby Atmos audio mix used on the UHD version has some great highs and uses the height channel to envelop you in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, the lows do not have that bass defining boom you hear in most Dolby Atmos releases.
