'Doctor Strange' - Chase Through the Mirror Dimension

As far as the stakes go–Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) running from a dull villain (Mads Mikkelsen) and his acolytes–are fairly low, but visually this is one of the most impressive things Marvel has ever done. While the visuals rely heavily on kaleidoscopic imagery mixed with some of Christopher Nolan‘s Inception, it’s hard not to get sucked into the vibrancy on display. This is the kind of reality bending that few other movies can offer, and it’s the kind of set piece that feels unique to a Doctor Strange movie. It’s thrilling while it’s going on, and it’s a shame that the rest of the movie isn’t up to par.
