Doctor Strange (2016)

Doctor Strange (2016) — After a near-fatal car crash destroys his surgical career, brilliant but arrogant neurosurgeon Stephen Strange sets out to heal his hands and finds instead a secret world of mysticism. Recruited to Kamar‑Taj in Kathmandu, he trains under the Ancient One and fellow sorcerer Mordo, learns to manipulate alternate dimensions and the astral plane, and must face a vengeful former student, Kaecilius, whose alliance with a dark cosmic force threatens the three Sanctums that protect Earth. Watching Doctor Strange you’ll get a mix of blockbuster action and fantasy: fast-paced fights and martial-arts‑tinged choreography, kaleidoscopic, mind-bending visual effects that fold and refract reality, and a character arc that moves from ego and despair to humility and purpose. The film balances spectacle with moments of humor and emotional grounding, while positioning Strange as a new mystical protector within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Expect a visually inventive, energetic origin story that expands Marvel’s scope into magic and alternate dimensions.
