Marvel's Doctor Strange


Last night, I took my family and a neighbor friend of my kids to the movies. We watched Marvel’s Dr. Strange. Somehow, it was fitting. The movie was pretty sick. It has an A-list cast, outstanding actors the bunch of them- McAdams, Cumberbatch, Ejiofor, Bratt. The dialogue was smart seeming to be at times part Star Trek, part The Matrix, part Star Wars. The action sequels were out of this world. No doubt somewhere next to “Hangar 52” they have another undisclosed location where they host the servers to run the computer graphics needed to make this movie. The visual EFX were on display in all their second-to-none Hollywood splendor. It doesn’t matter if you’re not a superhero or comic book fan, you should simply experience the awe inspiring visuals of this movie.

Are you feeling a tad weak on your comic prowess? Have you lost or, worst yet, never had your super hero credentials? Do yourself a favor and go see this movie. You’ll charge your account so full it’ll start collecting in 2051. No seriously, folks, this movie has some serious, mind boggling visual sorcery.

And yes, the movie is about sorcery. No joke here. Of course, it’s about the perennial struggle of good versus evil, light versus darkness of comic lore. All brought to you through some sophisticated eastern mystical witchcraft. It’s pretty involved folks and children (or adults for that matter) should not even pretend to try the stuff portrayed in the movie at home. Astral voyages, out of body transcendentalism, some new concept, for me at least, having to do with the “multiverse” (experiencing several parallel universes at once or something like that). It will all sound or look a bit innocent because it’s a comic superhero movie after all. Well, you’ve been warned. It is not. But it’s a pretty sick movie nonetheless. You will enjoy it and will come back to see the sequel. As for me, I will wait.
