Pointless setup featuring 3-second fast forwards to boredom into
…Johnny Cage…
combination ‘Saw’/mostly ‘Mortal Kombat’ ripoff, which is just as pointless.
…Raiden…
And it’s not any good. Well, if you like one-on-one fight choreography, it’s tolerable.
…Liu Kang…
About halfway through it switches from filming in a vacant room to filming in a
…Sonya…
vacant warehouse for the second level. Haikiba!
…Sindel…
Thank goodness it’s the first 2013 streaming movie choice I came across or I might NEVER have watched it.
…Scorpion…
With all that being said, I can’t bring myself to truly hate it. Maybe because it’s so un-ambitious that it can’t really fail (??!!). Sort of like watching a human video game, except video games are much more fun when you’re PLAYING, not WATCHING.
…Sub-Zero…eh, I prefer ‘Killer Instinct’…Cinder…
It adds a retroactive plot and a Dr. Evil/Bond-ish villain at the end, if you care.
