Benedict Cumberbatch is Dr. Stephen Strange in this blockbuster Disney Marvel movie, a former surgeon who moves to a life of sorcery when his career falls apart. From the director of Sinister, co-starring Tilda Swinton (Moonrise Kingdom), Mads Mikkelsen (The Hunt), Rachel McAdams (About Time), and Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave).
While it might not be Marvel’s most ambitious or successful work, they’ve nevertheless shown us a previously-unseen side of their cinematic universe and done so in frequently jaw-dropping fashion, elevating Doctor Strange beyond the film’s other, generally three-star, attributes.

Wasn't a complete Marvel home run for me, but no question this is a big screen outing well worth the ticket price...

A bizarre and beautiful detour on the Marvel journey, which culminates in a mind-bending, expectation-inverting final act. Not to be watched under the influence.
