A great-looking and fun martial arts fantasy, based on the original source material of Mortal Kombat!
I had got wrapped up in other news lately that I forgot the Mortal Kombat (2021) movie came out sometime in April. I was very excited to check it out last night, and I must say, it was awesome. This movie was a real treat for fans like me that appreciate the source material of the Mortal Kombat franchise. I look forward to what is next in store for the newly revived franchise!
The description of Mortal Kombat (2021), as stated on iTunes, is:
"MMA fighter Cole Young, accustomed to taking a beating for money, 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?"
