Directed by Sam Raimi, this is the 2nd film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's a magical and magical roller coaster ride that barely pauses to breathe between its imaginative set-pieces and well-choreographed action sequences

Director Sam Raimi and screenwriter Michael Waldron don’t waste time with an opening scene that leaves you in the middle of an action scene that makes it more understandable later on.

The film begins with a dream of Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) where he meets America Chavez (Miss America in comics), starring MCU newcomer Xotchitl Gomez with wide-eyed peace. Soon after, she wakes up and attends the wedding of her ex-boyfriend, Dr. Christine Palmer (Rachel McAdams).

The wedding celebration was disrupted when America destroyed a monster city while chasing Chavez. Dr. Strange takes to the streets to save him from an octopus-like animal.

After the destruction of the monster, Chavez tells Strange that he is able to travel in multiverse and cannot control the power he can express. The only way he could do that - if he could hold the book of peace, was to collect the almighty mantra. She further told him that her dream has something to do with multiverse because "dreams are the window to our multiverse variant.

From there, Dr. Strange and Wang (Benedict Wang), now the blacksmith-crown magician supreme, to save him and his followers, they realized that the monster was summoned - not magic, not magic. They embark on a psychedelic journey that reaches the limit of imagination where they meet Scarlet witch Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) as they try to unravel the dark mystery of what is happening to her.

As they move from one universe to another, the plot becomes increasingly complex but not interesting, or surprising until you count the countless cameos that appear on the screen. There are many characters that appear on the screen, yet none of them get a chance to shine. They're all there to make sure the next action sequence follows immediately.

The screenplay has tonal problems because it mixes comedy, action, drama, romance and horror with mixed results. To be fair- there are some scenes that create a laugh, but they are very few and far between, and they are mostly teenagers or idiots. Also, the cameo scenes seem to be trying hard to please the audience even though the central plot and characters are not enough to make them happy.

On the Performance Front, Chiwetel Eziofer, as Cumberbatch, Wang, Elizabeth Olsen, Rachel McAdams, and Baron Mordo, all have great charisma and great acting choreographers who deliver great performances. But the surprise packet is Xochitl Gomez, America as Chavez. She's a breath of fresh air with her impeccably pleasing on-screen presence, pulling your heart out while still carrying some high-level action scenes like her own.

Technically, the film boasts great visual effects, sound design, great scores, and a wide range of costumes, but it's not uncommon for it to be recorded in your mind's eye once you leave the theater.
