Doctor Strange
{4.5/5} “That sounds like a cult.”
Doctor Strange, released in 2016
Dr. Stephen Strange is a brilliant doctor but he’s also a pain to be around. When he’s in a terrible car accident, his hands don’t work the way they used to and he can’t be a doctor any more. He’s looking for an experimental treatment, and he follows a lead to Tibet. He finds the Ancient One, who tells him about the multiverse and the threat it faces.
I often find origin stories a bit boring but this one is definitely not. It will keep your attention the whole way through.
There are some very funny parts. There are some great visuals, and it would have been nice to see it on the big screen.
Stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Tilda Swinton. Directed by Scott Derrickson (Sinister). The delightful music is by Michael Giacchino.
