WOW. So, I'm not the person running to the theater to see each new Marvel movie, but this was a really good escape. Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Tilda Swinton?? And the special effects...I haven't been that impressed for a long while. Be sure to see it in 3D, if you can.

I think I was most impressed, though, because the film isn't just a bunch of effects and in-your-face action, like a lot of other comic book movies. The visual appeal is definitely a major part, but there is also a story worth listening to. I like Dr. Strange. I like watching him struggle, grapple with reality/unreality, etc. And I'm really into the mystic arts and magic and psychedelic stuff. This one is fun.
