O lutador de MMA Cole Young já está habituado a ganhar dinheiro à custa de umas valentes pancadas, mas desconhece quem realmente é. Tal como não sabe o que levou o imperador do Outworld, Shang Tsung, a enviar o seu melhor guerreiro, um criomante de outra dimensão conhecido como Sub-Zero, para o caçar. Receando o que possa acontecer à família, ele segue as indicações de Jax, um Major das Forças Especiais com as mesmas marcas em forma de dragão com que ele nasceu, e parte em busca de Sonya Blade. Rapidamente encontra o templo do Lorde Raiden, um Deus Ancestral e protetor da Terra que abriga quem possuir a marca. Cole irá treinar junto dos veteranos Liu Kang e Kung Lao, assim como do mercenário Kano, para se juntar aos campeões da Terra na épica batalha pelo destino do universo contra as forças do Outworld. Será que Cole conseguirá revelar os incríveis poderes arcanos da sua alma a tempo de salvar a sua família e derrotar o Outworld?

Classificações e críticas

Positives - Great action and fight scenes - Brutal and gory like a Mortal Kombat movie should be Negatives - Having been a fan of Mortal Kombat since I was a kid, I felt like the writers did not know which direction to go - They kept bring up the tournament, but there was no tournament. - Goro looked great, but had no real part except to die. - Like every other movie that has a "Chosen One" they use a birth mark The original movie from the 90s was far better. Merge the two would be 5 🌟!!!

I despise when studios make a franchise movie to milk the built-in fan base, but they're ashamed of the characters, so they make their own characters, usually for "representation" reasons. Since this franchise had tons of Asians already, I'm not sure why WB hated them. But clearly, they did. So you get Joe Asian-American. With a dumbass super power. I watched this on HBO Max and still wanted my money back.

Being a fan of the 95' original I had high expectations. The movie starts with the origin of my two favorite characters from the franchise only to barely see them throughout the movie. If they focus the story entirely on Scorpion and Sub-Zero instead of this new character, the movie would have been amazing. This movie was entertaining to watch once but to purchase for $25 it's a no for me. Hopefully if they make a sequel they will fix the problems.
