Tonight Marvel previewed 15 minutes of "Doctor Strange" footage in IMAX 3D.
I am not a fan of 3D movies. I have only seen 3 movies in 3D; 2 of them have been in IMAX.* So I was entering this screening skeptical.
I did not know what the footage was going to be, except that I knew that it would show off the best of IMAX 3D.
I am not a "Doctor Strange" reader, but I had heard a web show host (either Jon Schnepp of "Collider Heroes" or Matt Key of "Marvel Movie News", I don't remember) speculate after the first trailer was released, that there could be a long sequence after The Ancient One knocked Strange into the Astral Plane, he would travel the multiverse before coming back to the Ancient One and begging her to "Teach me!" I speculated that that could be what was shown.
And I was partially right. That was included, but there was a lot more shown. There was so much in the preview that I can't recap it all. Some highlights are: the car crash, multi-dimensional travel, the humor, and the Stan Lee cameo.
The negative: you can tell Tilda Swinton is wearing a bald cap in IMAX 3D.
Overall, I am convinced to see "Doctor Strange" in IMAX 3D. It is definitely worth the $15 ticket price.
*"Star Trek Into Darkness", May 2013, IMAX 3D; "Man of Steel" 3D, June 2013; and a butterfly documentary in IMAX 3D, July 2013.
