If Inception, Star Trek, and Dragonball had a child, this is probably what it would look like

Rating: 7/10 (4 November 2016)

If it weren't already a comic, I would be scratching my head as to where this was coming from.
There are familiar elements in every Marvel film, and this one checks them off one by one. Doctor Steven Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) is a Sherlock meets Tony Stark arrogant genius neurosurgeon who is forced to seek out alternative treatment for his damaged hands after starring in this year's feature-film distracted-driving PSA.
He meets the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton), who while teaching Strange how to tap into the energies of the multiverse is facing a crisis brought on by her former pupil Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelsen) attempting to bring about Earth's demise.
It is by no means a secret that this film, like all Marvel solo films, ends with the hero facing the villain in a big showdown. The real surprise, though, is that the very nature of Strange's powers means that you don't really know what he's going to pull out of the hat next to solve a given problem.
This makes it an enjoyable narrative to follow, even if the witty anecdotes sometimes go too far and break you out of the moment, where you realize there was just five witty comments in a row, and this is supposed to be a drama (ish).
With all that being said, see this film. Just don't come drunk. Or high. The visual effects will be trippy enough.
