Peel back the layers of reality and behold a stunning realm hidden beneath. One of magic and wonder. Of sorcery and enchantment. Of ancient spells, secret doors and remarkable heroes who protect us from evil. Because this is also a world of dark mysticism, malevolent forces and unspeakable horrors. And within the shadows around us, a supernatural war is waged. But the balance is shifting. Darkness is winning. Yet there is hope...Join us as Dr. Stephen Strange embarks on a wondrous journey to the heights of a Tibetan mountain, where he seeks healing at the feet of the mysterious Ancient One. But before his wounds can mend, Strange must first let go of his painful past and awaken a gift granted to very few. The gift of magic. Empowered as the new Sorcerer Supreme, Dr. Strange now tests his limits, rising up against monsters that push at the gates, facing the most terrifying entity humankind has ever known.
"...the best of the Marvel direct to DVD offerings...a healthy dose of horror and gothic fantasy...great voice acting..." Cinema Crazed
"...a fun ride of a movie with a great dark edge similar to Batman: Mask of the Phantasm." Sean Elliott, If Magazine
Editor's Note
Though he may not be as famous as Spider-Man or the X-Men, Marvel Comics hero Doctor Strange is a force to be reckoned with. Armed with his supernatural powers, Dr. Stephen Strange fights evil in this animated action film. Strange makes the perilous trip to a mountaintop in Tibet, and he is healed by the strength of the Ancient One. But the Ancient does more than just heal his scars; he endows Strange with the gift of sorcery. His powers come at just the perfect time as enemies surround him, and only magic can defeat them.

I've never been much of a fan of the Stan Lee/Steve Ditko-created comic book character, Doctor Strange, which is why I'm surprised to say that Marvel's fourth animated direct-to-video feature proves to be their best so far...Doctor Strange is primarily a jumping-on point for those unfamiliar with the character, and its success will probably dictate whether or not there is a market for Marvel's long-running character to make the jump to a live-action feature. Given the recent successes of magical fantasy stories, as well as comic book adaptations, at the box office of late, it's not hard to see why a popular (although never really dominant) comic book character like Doctor Strange would get a push before more traditional superhero characters. Witnessing the competence shown in this film, it would be nice to see more adventures for the Sorcerer Supreme, whether in a direct-to-video sequel or animated series, as it is merely just an origin story that only dabbles in presenting a great many adventures to follow...Given that I had no love for Dr. Strange before this release and ended up impressed, I suspect that it will meet similarly well with fans and non-fans alike. - Vince Leo
