Arrival

The skills of linguistics professor Louise Banks are sought for when mysterious UFOs appear at various locations across the world. She teams up with physicist Donnelly to crack the communication impasse with the aliens and finds herself in a race against time with other world powers getting impatient as to the intention of the alien landings. Though the story gives you a sense of dejavu with the story running in two time dimensions and the space element therein just like Interstellar, the execution by Adams, Renner and Whitaker as well as the subtle message the movie intends to impart makes it a good watch. So go book your tix if you haven't already watched it.

Doctor Strange

If you have read the Marvel comic of the same name, you wouldn’t require an introduction to the very intellectual yet arrogant master surgeon Dr.Stephen Strange, who loses the use of his hands in a car accident. When modern medicine doesn’t heal them he turns to the mystical world and finally ends up becoming a warrior fighting evil forces beyond the realm of physics and time. Benedict Cumberbatch plays the master sorcerer with elan and his poker faced humour only adds to the theatre. Marvel never disappoints, but with this one they took it a level higher with the absolutely mind-blowing visual effects! Whether you are a Cumberbitch or not, this is one movie which you do not want to miss! So go book the tix.
