Matthew Turner from iNews.co.uk says "Like Inception mashed with M.C. Escher: the richly imaginative visual design is endlessly entertaining in its depiction of astral planes, mirror dimensions and multiverses."
"A bizarre and beautiful detour on the Marvel journey, which culminates in a mind-bending, expectation-inverting final act," says James Dyer from Empire magazine.
Entertainment Weekly reporter Chris Nashawaty says: "Doctor Strange is thrilling in the way a lot of other Marvel movies are. But what makes it unique is that it's also heady in a way most Marvel movies don't dare to be. It's eye candy and brain candy."
"To his credit, director Scott Derrickson ... navigates through the different zones with a fair degree of actual coherence, and delivers the entire package with evident ease and some flair," says Todd McCarthy from The Hollywood Reporter.
"Derrickson (Sinister) crafts a trippy phantasmagoria for Strange to fly screaming through as he begins his path to sorcerer supreme. The only thing missing is a Doors jam as the sequence unfolds a dizzying blend of psychedelia, geometric oddities and nightmarish dreamscapes," says USA Today's Brian Truitt.
Doctor Strange hits New Zealand cinemas tomorrow.
