Doctor Strange

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2016)

Doctor Strange is a very mystical and "strange" movie. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), an arrogant neurosurgeon, gets into a car accident. The accident disables his hands which effects his reputation. When doctors and science fail him he goes to get help from the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton) who practices complex eastern medicine. From there he practices the "magic" and learns that there are other dimensions of existence, and some nonviolent, others waiting to attack. On his journey he gets curious in the library and opens one of the Ancient One's books to find pages missing. Stephen Strange can't resist his curiosity and uses the Eye of Agamotto, a necklace that contains the infinity time stone in it; the wearer is given the ability to manipulate time, to look at the missing pages. Dr. Strange gets interrupted by the libraries protector, Wong (Benedict Wong), who tells him about the pages and the only way to protect the world from the dark dimension is the three sanctum's, New York, London, and Hong Kong. Behind the attacks is Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelsen), a former student of the Ancient One that gave into the darkness. This movie was well-directed by Scott Derrickson and was left open for a sequel. The special effects were realistic, and it felt like you were a part of the movie. Marvel fans have set their standards high and this movie met this fan's expectations. If there will be any sequels in the future, I would go see them.
