Mortal Kombat
It’s Hanzo Hasashi vs Bi-Han, Earthrealm vs Outworld, good vs evil as these popular video game characters return for another battle to the death tournament. Chosen One champions from earth must train & prepare to defend their world from outside invaders. This martial arts fantasy film is action packed with thrilling hand to hand fight scenes & stunning special effects. I haven’t played nor seen any of the video games or the previous films, but I️ sense Mortal Kombat fans will rekindle their connection to these characters & their one liners. Hopefully, fans will see their favorites display their special powers. Like the video games, this film is action driven so the storyline is fairly basic. The setup for a possible rematch between these heroes & villains & a future hint of a familiar character are laid out.
Alien gives it 3½ “arcana” stars out of 4.
