(sci-fi film review)

“It is impossible to defeat your demons.
All you can do is not make yourself a slave to them.”

‘Doctor Strange’ is a thrilling adventure movie that brings a new level of magic and action stunts to Marvel cinema. Director Scott Derrickson has successfully combined high-quality animation, impressive visuals and a fascinating story to create an incredible movie that will remain in your memory for a long time.

The film’s protagonist, Dr. Steven Strange – played by the unsurpassed Benedict Cumberbatch – is a charismatic neurosurgeon who faces a terrible car accident that severely damages his main tool, his hands. In his quest for recovery, he turns to a mysterious Eastern priest and is given the opportunity to study oriental magic. His journey leads him to the Stone School, where he encounters powerful evil and learns to control forces he never imagined.

One of the main advantages of the movie is its breathtaking visual effects. It simply stuns with their beauty and originality. From psychedelic travels through different realities to battles between good and evil, every scene is memorable for its brightness and epicness.

In addition to the visuals, Dr. Strange also amazes with its story. The story unfolds gradually, revealing the mysteries and intrigues surrounding Dr. Strange and his journey into the world of magic. The film offers us a splendid story of the hero’s development, who changes his path from an ambitious neurosurgeon to a magician and protector.

It’s also hard to ignore the well-chosen cast. Benedict Cumberbatch plays his role with great talent and perfectly conveys his evolution. His charisma and inner strength are eye-catching and make him a character that is easy to sympathize with and feel for. Tilda Swanson, Rachel McAdams, Chiwetel Ejiofor and others also play their roles to perfection, completing the colorful ensemble.

Despite its fantastical nature, Dr. Strange is imbued with deep philosophical and moral themes. It raises questions about the nature of time, reality, self-improvement, and the power of good versus evil. These themes give the movie more depth and make it more than just an entertaining blockbuster.

In summary, Dr. Strange is a magnificent sci-fi movie that combines impressive effects, strong acting, and a fascinating plot. This is a movie that is worth watching not only for fans of the comic book genre, but also for those who are interested in good and unusual stories about the struggle between light and darkness.

My rating is 9.5/10.
