Synopsis
Three reluctant fighters are drafted for an intergalactic martial-arts tournament that will determine the fate of the human race in this special-effects-driven adventure. Inspired by the popular and notoriously bloody video game, Mortal Kombat provides a semblance of a plot as an excuse for rampant mayhem, with the evil alien forces challenging humanity to a kung fu battle to decide the Earth's fate. Following the failure of several previous human defenders, mankind's last chance lies with egotistical action film star Johnny Cage (Linden Ashby), tough but beautiful special agent Sonya Blade (Bridgette Wilson), and vengeance-minded hero Liu Kang (Robin Shou). Under the guidance of inspirational sorcerer Lord Rayden (Christopher Lambert), this unlikely trio faces off against a series of terrifying alien adversaries. As in the video game, the martial arts battles are the true point, with standard fighting combining with magical touches supplied by computer-generated effects. The dramatic content often resembles a Saturday morning cartoon, but Jonathan Scott Carlson's appropriately dank production design and the visually spectacular battle sequences made the film a hit amongst younger fantasy-action fans, spawning a sequel and a TV show. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Pretty good!
It's campy, but that's why you buy it.
April 2, 2012Bought it mainly because I liked it as a kid. It's fun to watch and remember how bad it is, yet still pretty cool.

Really bad awesomeness
May 11, 2011Certainly a niche type thing. Only established fans are going to get anything out of it, but if you are one of the initiated, you should get this. Overall quality is not really that good, but that's part of the charm. It's really bad, in a really awesome kind of way.

I remember first seeing this as a kid and thought it was so cool! While yea this didnt have much of a story, its based off a video game that well doesnt have much of a story to begin with. Its a pretty cool movie however watching it now the special effects arent that good but not bad for 1995. Its cool that they are finally releasing this on blu ray on the same date the game and web mini series is being released. Its like MK day or something! Just watching it brings back memories of my childhood. I cant wait for this to come out. Itll be something to add to my blu ray collection. If any of you liked the MK games pick this up for sure.
