Marvel's Doctor Strange Comes to Digital HD February 14th and Blu-ray/DVD on February 28th

Today, Marvel Studios announced the home release of "Doctor Strange," declaring that the film will first come to Digital HD on February 14th, followed by the Blu-ray/DVD release on February 28th.

The film received a fair amount of positive reviews, but there were many that noted that its strongest element was its special effects, while the story itself was not particularly strong or memorable. Its other other main plus was its outstanding cast, featuring Oscar nominee Benedict Cumberbatch as the Sorcerer Supreme, Oscar winner Tilda Swinton, Oscar nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Mads Mikkelsen (who unfortunately played a quickly forgettable, stand-in villain). While the film didn't particularly stand up to the high expectations of the MCU, at the very least, it set up the character well, leaving us to anticipate his involvement in more films down the road.

The following special features have been announced for the Blu-ray release (the DVD will not include any extras):

• Featurettes

• A Strange Transformation – Open your eye to a new dimension of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and see how the filmmakers brought one of comic books’ greatest characters to life.
