Doctor Strange: Infinite Possibility
People who claim, each MCU film is exactly the same, they must be blind...
The mind-bending, intergalactic, space time continuum, time freezing atmosphere, trippy-ness of the film making, makes up most of the chunk that makes this film a cut above the rest of all the Marvel films and it's a breath of fresh air that remains through out the film.
A former brilliant yet arrogant neurosurgeon, Dr. Stephen Strange's life changes after a car accident. When traditional medicine fails to cure his hands, he looks for healing. And then a hope comes in his life, which drives him into the world of dark and mystic arts.
The plot offers 'No' tension for audience with yet another 'world ending and life threatening' plot line. The Idea that your world can be distorted and twisted upside down, the Idea that you can manipulate time relativity, the Idea that can threat you with to believe in reality, everything is done here to not only leave an impression, but make it Memorable (strictly Visually) at its core idea.
This is quite appalling, sure it's executed beautifully, but that doesn't mean I'm going to fully appreciate it. Since the film focuses too much on the visuals, the audience is led to really forget about the tension. That might happen because cool and enthralling 'Unorthodox' things are showing up on screen.
We also don't get the boundaries of those Magic powers, that they have. Magic can definitely be a good and special thing to do, but only if it is executed well enough not just in visuals but in substance as well.
It's a trend for Marvel films to have quite lackluster and monochrome villains, this isn't an exception even with Mads Mikkelsen as the actor.
Benedict Cumberbatch is perfect as Dr. Strange. He is absolutely fine in each and every frame.
It has strong (Philosophical) dialogues along with creepy one liners which might entertain you...
Dr. Stephen Strange: [after Mordo hands him a card] What's this? My mantra?
Baron Mordo: It's the wi-fi password. We're not savages.
After saying all that about visuals, there is no need to say, how action sequences are overwhelming and jaw dropping.
Overall, it's enjoyable Unorthodox effort. It's perfectly up to you whether or not you will absolutely adore this film mainly because of it's unconventional visual style and not care about the lack of substance and a run by the numbers safe origin plot.
But nonetheless it's a solid, promising and unique Marvel entry.
Much Excited for second Installment.
