When traditional medicine fails him, he looks for healing, and hope, in a mysterious enclave. He quickly learns that the enclave is at the front line of a battle against unseen dark forces bent on destroying reality. Before long, Strange is forced to choose between his life of fortune and status or leave it all behind to defend the world as the most powerful sorcerer in existence.<\/p>\n<p>What\u00a0the critics are saying:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Total Film<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0<em>James Mottram<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Cumberbatch fits Doctor Strange like a pair of snap-tight surgical gloves, in yet another MCU triumph. Beautifully designed, brilliantly executed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Daily Beast<\/strong> &#8211;<em>\u00a0Jen Yamato\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Broadening the consciousness of the mind, and by extension the conscientiousness of the soul, is one of the decidedly atypical end goals\u00a0<i>Doctor Strange<\/i>\u00a0has in its sights in spite of the minefield of superhero origin story clich\u00e9s it sweeps across to get there. Stacked with an excellent cast led by Benedict Cumberbatch and the singular Tilda Swinton in a captivating and controversial role, it\u2019s the most dazzling technical achievement of the franchise whose visual delights are worth the ticket price alone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong> &#8211; <em>Todd McCarthy<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yes, this new project shares the same look, feel, and fancy corporate sheen as the rest of Marvel\u2019s rapidly expanding Avengers portfolio, but it also boasts an underlying originality and freshness missing from the increasingly cookie-cutter comic-book realm of late.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Guardian<\/strong> &#8211; <em>Peter Bradshaw<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To his credit, director Scott Derrickson&#8230;navigates through the different zones with a fair degree of actual coherence, and delivers the entire package with evident ease and some flair.<\/p>\n<p><strong>USA Today<\/strong> &#8211; <em>Brian Truitt<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a tremendously engaging and likeable superhero ride, in which the classiest of casts show they know exactly where to take it seriously \u2013 and where to inject the fun.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>TheWrap<\/strong> &#8211; <em>Alonso Duralde<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Derrickson (Sinister) crafts a trippy phantasmagoria for Strange to fly screaming through as he begins his path to sorcerer supreme. The only thing missing is a Doors jam as the sequence unfolds a dizzying blend of psychedelia, geometric oddities and nightmarish dreamscapes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The action climaxes with a truly impressive finale, one that employs time going in multiple directions that\u2019s like nothing I\u2019ve ever seen in a movie before. The effects shots here aren\u2019t just visually impressive; they actually let the narrative go to places it couldn\u2019t without this level of, you\u2019ll pardon the expression, wizardry.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0Variety &#8211; <\/em><\/strong>Peter Debruge<\/p>\n<p>The key is an in-on-the-joke script, which Derrickson co-wrote with Jon Spaihts and C.
