Its a great-sounding mix thats a definite compliment to the visuals.Id ask a question like who knew, but Im willing to bet that there were some folks who did know what they were embarking upon and, nearly a decade later, weve got a slew of MCU films.The earlier installments were ones wed all seen and heard of before.We all knew names like The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man and Captain America.
But as we delve further and further into the Marvel Universe, the heroes are getting a bit more diverse. Not too many know of Dr. Stephen Strange, but this film does a great job of introducing him and making him what will be a big player in future films. Only two MCU films were released in 2016, Captain America: Civil War and this, so fasten your seatbelts because were taking a tripto another dimension. Hes got the arrogance and skills to back it up as well. Think Dr. Gregory House, but without the beard (or cane). Things are going fine for Dr. Strange until an automobile accident badly damages his hands. Strange exhausts his financial resources trying to find a way to regain their use, but to no avail. He eventually travels to Kathmandu for a more holistic approach to this problem and its there that he meets the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton) and her assistant Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor).

No, hell pop up again in Thor: Ragnarok and when you consider that Thor too is from another plane of existence, these two might just hit it off. Doctor Strange 4K Blu Ray Movie So IfWere in for a new crop of superheroes with Black Panther, The Inhumans and another Guardians of the Galaxy movie so if youre a fan of the MCU then the next few years will be heaven for you.

If you take a few scenes from Christopher Nolans Inception (or maybe even Interstellar ) and make couple it with an M.C. Escher drawing, you might get a feel for how some of these scenes look. ![]() The addition of HDR and a slight uptick in detail only sweeten the deal. There are those that really arent too fond of DisneyMarvels Atmos soundtracks, but Im no audiophile. It sounds good to me and even has a bit more depth than the previously-released DTS HD track. Then again I guess if youre bending reality, it can sound any way the director pleases, right Seriously though, this is one dynamic mix that isnt afraid to use each and every speaker in your setup. The front stage is frantic with action, but the surrounds get a workout and really add that sense of depth and dimension (sorry, couldnt resist) to many scenes. The LFE thump in as well, offering some much needed bass to some of the third acts antics.
