Life is full of choices, and on April 24th, local moviegoers will need to decide which cinema they will experience all 3 hours, 58 seconds of Avengers: Endgame in. The finale of 11 years and 21 films, Endgame promises an epic conclusion to the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) Infnity Saga, which began with 2008’s Iron Man. More importantly, it will provide the answer to how Earth’s Mightiest Heroes finally defeat the villainous Thanos, following the shocking events of last year’s Avengers: Infinity War.
With word of 24-hour screening schedules and record-setting pre-sales all over the world, we decided to give our readers a hand in making their choice. . Here, in no particular order are our bets for the best cinemas in the Metro. Cinemas on this list were selected for the best possible audio and video, as well as maximum comfort. For cinemas showing Endgame in the listed format on more than one screen, we’ve chosen to present the one with the earliest possible screening time.
Regardless of where you choose to watch, just remember, #DontSpoilTheEndgame!
