This film includes a lot of information and different threads to follow. It contains nearly all Marvel superheroes who have been introduced so far and shows how they are trying to stop Thanos from getting the infinity gauntlet. It starts and ends off quite badly for the heroes (some of who could be dead forever) and sets up the next film where they have a lot of problems to rectify.
