My kids saw a trailer for Doctor Strange in which a cape seemed to have a mind of it’s own. They’ve been bugging me to see it ever since. On Sunday, they got their wish with a family movie night. We pajama’d up and cozied ourselves up in front of our projection screen. Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect because I hadn’t seen the trailer myself but I knew we really couldn’t go wrong with a Marvel movie. My kids are all 9 and under but while this movie is rated PG-13, I didn’t think it was inappropriate for them and the whole family enjoyed it.
Starting today, you can bring home this critically acclaimed mind-bending blockbuster on Blu-Ray. World-famous neurosurgeon Dr. Stephen Strange’s life changes forever after a horrific car accident and renders his hands useless. When traditional medicine fails him, he travels to the remote Kamar-Taj in search of a cure, but instead discovers the mystical arts and becomes a powerful sorcerer battling dark forces bent on destroying our reality.
The visual effects in this movie are stunning! Watch this clip to learn a little about the process and what goes into making such a complex movie:
