Media Monday: Doctor Strange

Madeline Smyser, Staff Reporter

New Marvel movie, Doctor Strange, marks the beginning of several greatly anticipated films set to premiere at the end of 2016 and into 2017. And it certainly does not disappoint.

Doctor Strange is the latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, following the journey of a new character, Dr. Steven Strange. Strange (played by the wonderful and talented Benedict Cumberbatch) is a highly successful and esteemed neurosurgeon whose life takes a terrible turn for the worst when he loses the use of his hands in a serious car accident. Strange searches desperately for a way to fix them and ends up travelling to Nepal in search of a mysterious place called Kamar-Taj. There he meets some rather odd people who show him that there is more to the world than reality.

As Strange learns more and more about this new universe and its dangers, he must also decide whether or not he will stay and defend Earth from what is quickly coming.

Doctor Strange is a must see for all. With a “mind-bending” plot, magnificent special effects, and non-stop action, you really don’t want to miss this one.
