Spoilers From Guardians of the Galaxy 17-Minute IMAX Preview

Fans were recently able to catch a 17-minute preview of Guardians of the Galaxy in IMAX 3D, and the reactions have been largely positive thus far. This will undoubtedly be the most bizarre movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date, but the preview has offered encouraging signs for skeptical fans.

Comic Book Movie posted a lengthy recap of the 17-minute preview and claims this movie should "blow the doors off" the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as it proves "there's much more going on in the MCU than what occurs on Asgard or on Earth."

The footage begins with the prisoner lineup from the trailer in which the five main characters are all in a row. John C. Reilly's character, Rhomann Dey, introduces each of them. Here's more of the description from CBM:

"We are then transported to the intergalactic prison called The Kyln where the Guardians are given a scrubdown and jump suits.  We never learn why they were arrested by the Nova Corps, but we do learn that Rocket and Groot are bounty hunters and that they were after the bounty on Star-Lord.  It looks as if prison is where Drax joins the group (not 100% sure on this) as he recognizes Gamora and her connection to Ronan the Accusser.  Drax apparently makes a deal with Star-Lord to be kept close to Gamora until he leads her to Ronan. The Guardians don't remain in prison for long, thanks to the technological savvy of Rocket.  He's able to quickly survey surrounding materials and equipment and engineer an escape plan for the Guardians.  Drax, Groot and Gamora display their physical prowess as they subdue inmates and guards alike, buying time for Rocket to execute his plan.  There are a lot of jokes and humor I'm leaving out of the escape simply because you'll need to see it to make sense of the plan Rocket concocts.  We then segue into an extended montage that provides glimpses of Michael Rooker's Yondu, Josh Brolin's Thanos, Lee Pace's Ronan the Accuser, Knowhere, Benicio Del Toro's The Collector and more."

It sounds like this movie will be packed to the brim with action and plot development, so here's hoping the film wows us when it hits theaters on Aug. 1.
