After a life-altering accident, a brilliant but arrogant surgeon discovers a hidden world of magic and sorcery.
Review
Visually striking and full of style, with a strong supporting cast and standout action, though the central character arc feels more obligatory than transformative. The journey gestures toward depth but leans on spectacle, landing in familiar territory rather than fully exploring its best ideas.
This movie is part of our complete MCU retrospective.
