About this movie

In Mortal Kombat, MMA fighter Cole Young is unaware of his heritage—or why Outworld’s Emperor Shang Tsung has sent his best warrior, Sub-Zero, an otherworldly Cryomancer, to hunt Cole down. Fearing for his family’s safety, Cole goes in search of Sonya Blade at the direction of Jax, a Special Forces Major who bears the same strange dragon marking Cole was born with. Soon, he finds himself at the temple of Lord Raiden, an Elder God and the protector of Earthrealm, who grants sanctuary to those who bear the mark. Here, Cole trains with experienced warriors Liu Kang, Kung Lao and rogue mercenary Kano, as he prepares to stand with Earth’s greatest champions against the enemies of Outworld in a high stakes battle for the universe. But will Cole be pushed hard enough to unlock his arcana—the immense power from within his soul—in time to save not only his family, but to stop Outworld once and for all?

Ratings and reviews

After seeing the reviews I did not have high expectations. I watched with my wife and we loved the movie for what it is, a movie based on a fighting game. The plot is quite predictable but passable for genre. Characters are likable they develop during the plot and occasional jokes and references to games are great. Fighting scenes are well done and look amazing and there is also reasonable amount of gore as is traditional in Mortal Kombat-games. The conflict between to named characters, Scorpion and Sub-Zero is resolved in touching manner and left us wanting to know more about the history between them.

Very poor and bad made, shame :/
