Due to a series of unspeakable circumstances I ended up seeing the new Dr strange movie last night and good lord it was hilariously bad. I haven’t seen the last four marvel movies or any of the shows so I had no fucking clue what was happening.
The acting was embarrassing and it was edited like a clickhole video. Scarlet Witch is evil now and at one point she uses magic to peel a dude apart like a string cheese while he screams in agony. I couldn’t stop laughing and the entire theater was mad at me.
Also I saw it in “4DX” not knowing that meant that the seats would violently shake and vibrate and shoot air cannons at me. There was a button on my arm rest that said “Water Effects” and I turned that shit on IMMEDIATELY. Hell yes. I want the wettest sloppiest experience possible. Why the fuck not.
It sprayed me with water whenever the monster goo or the superhero fluid flew at the camera. I was sat in the second row on the far right so craning my neck to keep the 3d glasses focused made my neck hurt.
My date, who turned out to be SUPER into marvel movies, talked through the entire film. If something sad happened. They would go “oh that’s sad.” If something cool happened, they would go “oh that’s cool.” They asked me to wait for the second end credits scene. It was a 30 second clip of a guy punching himself in the face.
As a moviegoing experience it felt like a fever dream.
