ILM have done remarkable work for Doctor strange which can't be seen in any movie last decade, when the world saw glimpses of the chase through New York. The folding Manhattan is known internally as the Mirror Sequence. 

Its most visually compelling film so far, heroes Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) are pursued by Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelsen) and his Zealots through a New York cityscape fragmented in the Mirror Dimension.

Digital Benedict Cumberbatch

It’s also surprising to see just how many times the film relied on a digital stunt double for Cumberbatch. They created an elaborate visual model of the actor that could do literally anything, and yet all the special effects know-how in the world couldn’t give him a convincing American accent. Technology still has a long way to go, it seems.
