Continuity mistake: When Thanos brings Vision back to life using the Time Stone, Thanos is standing a couple steps away from him after bringing him back. Wanda then tries to stop him, and it cuts to a wide shot where he suddenly is a couple of steps closer with his hand suddenly around Vision's neck. Thanos then pushes her with his other hand and in the next shot, Thanos is then reaching to put his hand around Vision's neck even though he was just shown with his hand around Vision's neck already.

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Ending / spoiler
Thanos pulls the final infinity stone from Vision's head, seemingly killing him. He completes the gauntlet - Thor throws his new axe Stormbreaker at Thanos' chest, seriously wounding him but not enough to stop him snapping his fingers. Half the universe is wiped from existence, with various Avengers fading to nothing, including Black Panther, Bucky, Drax, Groot, Mantis, Scarlet Witch, Spider-Man, Peter Quill, and Dr. Strange. Before he fades, Strange is asked by Tony Stark why he'd give away the time stone, and he says "it was the only way", presumably referring to the one in many millions of outcomes he'd foreseen where they eventually win, regardless of current losses. Thanos teleports to a peaceful planet and seems happy with a job well done.

Answer: "Doctor Strange" demonstrates that the Infinity Stones are useful in the most dire of situations, when Strange used the Time Stone to prevent Dormammu from taking over the Earth. It's also possible that some of the stones are indestructible.
