If there was ever a time to release Marvel Powers United (Pre-Orders!)

Timing is everything, and I feel that Oculus has gotten its timing right on multiple fronts (the release of Touch for the Holidays, the release of GO during F8).

Right now Infinity Wars is taking the world by storm,
  • All-Time Opening Record of over 258-million Domestic, 640-million WorldWide
  • Shattered China Box Office Presale Records (over 47 million)

Marvel Powers United needs to get released, and stat!

Have you watched Infinity Wars? I get what you're saying, it's been a decade of this franchise, but seriously, you need to watch it. This is the film to retire on!


Except they are making the sequel to this film for May 2019 which is also going to be a movie that needs to be seen.

Anyway, I concur with smelator, this is a must-see Marvel movie, totally gripping and boasting equal amounts of drama and comedy (not so OTT like Guardians 2 but just the right amount to not wear thin). I think most of the packed theater i watched it in didn't want the movie to end  (aside from most people wanting to silence the screaming brat who should have been left at home with the babysitter). Really good in 3D and perfect for playing in the Oculus Go when it releases on Blu-Ray/DVD. 

10/10 from me.

Oh and BP is also pretty epic as well, so enjoy that Nalex.  We've been spoilt recently, let's hope 2019 comes around with some fresh ideas.

Infinity Wars fantastic, and unlike a "sequel" this is really part two and will pick up from exactly the point the first one ended. CANNOT WAIT ...
Core i7-7700k @ 4.9 Ghz | 32 GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance @ 3000Mhz | 2x 1TB Samsung Evo | 2x 4GB WD Black
ASUS MAXIMUS IX HERO | MSI AERO GTX 1080 OC @ 2000Mhz | Corsair Carbide Series 400C White (RGB FTW!) 

Be kind to one another 🙂

My wife decided that she needed to get on the Marvel train late, so now I'm waiting for her to catch up before we can watch Infinity War; she's only seen the first 3 so far, so I have a LOOONG time to wait :disappointed:

Though you are more than slightly incoherent, I agree with you Madam,
a plum is a terrible thing to do to a nostril.

Yup, like I've said in another thread, going to the cinema used to be a reasonably cheap night out in the 70s and 80s. Me and my brother used to get taken out to the cinema by our parents on our birthday (we both share the same birthday - I was born on my brother's third birthday so he's exactly three years older than me) pretty often and our parents were skint when we were kids.

Today you'd have to be worth a few quid to take a couple of kids and another parent to the cinema. That's why I don't bother going anymore. The prices these places charge plus the price of refreshments just take the piss.

I just wait for a decent cam or screener and Bittorrent the thing if there's something I want to watch. If cinema prices were reasonable I'd go to the cinema to watch films but they've priced themselves out of that as a possibility for me.

It's about £30 for three of us to hit the cinema these days (that's two adults and one child). But as you say, you can spend the same amount on dodgy hot dogs, chips and sweeties. Sometimes it's best to bring your own food. You can cut the costs down by joining loyalty schemes or get cashback. Yeh it's expensive when you could simply buy/burn or steal the DVD/Blu ray and watch many times over in the comfort of your own home/VR cinema. I also find UK cinema audiences to be way too "British" sometimes most of the time. I loved the attitude of Americans  when watching movies when I visited NYC. Completely different experience.

To whoever above mentioned being bored of superhero movies, I completely agree.
"Linear entertainment" and all that.

Cannot wait for the MPU though. Conpletely agree that the time is ripe.  Bring it!

Infinity Wars is not the film to be "super heroed out" by. I get the sentiment, but this aint the time to apply it lol

It's like someone being tired of video games, and thus refusing to try VR.

In fact, I can't even remember the last Super Hero movie that I saw in the theatres. I think the only 2 other films I saw in the theatre for the last year was BladeRunner and the Last Jedi. Both films could have waited for a Netflix or Hulu stream. Nothing to get outta bed for necessarily.

But infinity wars? No excuses, bruhs.

Hobbit ruined films for me. I kept seeing adult people dressed as erm hobbits.

Now I can't stop seeing actors dressing up ugh! 
Hence video games ftw 

I think for me, the early Iron Man, X-Men, Spider-Man and Thor movies appealed cos the stories were a little more classic and less spectacular. Every subsequent film seems to have to be bigger, more special effects, more ‘save the world’, more extreme in order to have the same pull (bit like when you watch too much porn).
erm anyway, what I mean is the story seems to get less engaging and lost in all the action somehow.
