Doctor Strange - An Out-Of-This-World Experience

Rating: 9/10 (6 November 2016)

First off, Doctor Strange, I believe, is not a regular movie that can be watched in 2D. It must be seen in 3D, preferably in IMAX format. The content and theme of the movie is nothing without its extravagant visual effect that are to be experienced in big screen equipped with 3D/IMAX only.
I would not say such brilliant vfx are done in a Hollywood movie for the first time as Avatar and Avengers movies have already done so. However, the theme itself is like an introduction to movie-goers and it needs such kind of effects to make it understandable to the audiences.
Coming to the main theme of the movie (no spoilers ahead), it's not that nobody is aware of the astronomical theories and philosophies, but it's dramatized visually on screen for the very first time through a fictional character called Doctor Strange via Marvel comics written by Stan Lee (I like his his Cameo describing a mind-bending graphic scene as hilarious) years ago.
Astrophysics is filled with all kinds of marvelous content and theories. If anyone watched these documentaries in Discovery Channel/Netflix would get a good introduction on it. If needed to get realistic (not Sci-Fi) knowledge into this field one can dig-deep into this field by reading the books like A brief history of time by Prof.Hawking.
The famous of all is the Multi-verse theory which explains that parallel to our infinitely expanding universe (consisting of billions of galaxies and nebulae) there are infinitely many other universes. Of course, they are not visible to us as they exist in different dimensions. In all these multiple universes, there are beings exactly like us which do other things which are not done by us in this universe but are left out in the process of choice-making. That's just a theory :)
The main protagonist Dr.Strange (as he calls himself but others weirdly call him Mr.Strange, Dr.Mister), a neurosurgeon, meets with a ghastly road accident and left bed-ridden for several weeks before heading to Nepal for seeking real cure only to find more that what he expected. Apparently, a secret society formed by multi-race individuals in Nepal who call themselves mystical protectors (as opposed to Avengers who protect earth from physical threats) guarding the three nodes (Geometrically formed in a triangular manner in London, New York, and Hong Kong) shielding earth from mystical threats coming from deep- universe in the form of cosmic radiation (appearing in human form) etc. They apparently have metaphysical abilities to maneuver time in terms of freezing, going back-and-forth in it, and bending space-time (as Einstein proposed in his famous general theory of relativity that the all astronomical bodies in universe bend spacetime fabric causing a curvature or dent in it which is nothing but gravity that Newton earlier defined it simply as a force between two bodies of mass) jumping to anywhere in the universe instantaneously (unlike Superman flying), and astro-projecting themselves. Ultimately, how Dr.Strange takes on the evil forces to save our world forms the crux of the story.
Philosophically speaking, there was so much scope to it but apparently is lacking in the story-line. It's said that if the trainee in question surrenders himself completely, then he could project his astro-self into different dimensions and can have infinite perception (that a normal being cannot perceive with his five senses) not to mention the instantaneous spacetime-travel by free-will. This would support the myth of reincarnation that any living being continually lives on even after death but in other dimensions of this multiverse.
Mostly, some mythical and relativity theories with some fiction added to it are dramatized in this fantastic movie.
It's a must-watch for all ages. I am looking forward to its sequels including Avengers -Infinity War in which Dr.Strange will be pitted against Iron Man.
All in all it's a mind-bending experience and the best Marvel movie yet. I would rate it 9.5 out of 10.
