Synopsis:
A brilliant but self-absorbed neurosurgeon whose hands are damaged in a car wreck travels to Nepal to study magic and becomes involved in a battle with other-dimensional forces.

Impressions:
I don't tend to watch these Marvel character features in theaters, but I've always found them worth watching and this movie is no exception. There's a good character arc for our protagonist, which I appreciate, and some very inventive things done with the environments as part of the big magic duels. Even the good doctor's cape has a fair bit of personality. I also enjoyed how the final battle played out. There are a few chuckles to be had in the fashion you've come to expect from these MCU films. Any Marvel fan will want to give this a watch at the very least.
