Mortal Kombat [Blu-ray] [1995]

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.

This movie will never be included on the American Film Institutes' Best 100 movies. That being said, it may be the best movie based on a video game where players can rip the heads off their opponents and have the spines dangling from the severed head. Sadly for Mortal Kombat video game enthusiasts that kind of graphic violence is not seen on this onscreen adaption. But fans of the video game will still enjoy the fairly faithful film.

Mortal Kombat is exactly what the title says. You fight to save your life. The story line is great and keeps you entertained. I watched it as a kid and my nephew now watches it along with playing the video game. Filled with drama and action, it’s a must see for those who enjoy fighting movies.

I have learned that this movie was made based on a video game. The movie itself is poorly done. It looks like nobody thought well ahead. It is still worthy to watch the movie, just because of one actress, Talisa Soto, who played princess Kitana. What a gorgeous women!

A big-budget film based off a videogame, no wonder it's a piece of junk. First they did it with 'Super Mario Bros.,' then 'Double Dragon,' then 'Streetfighter,' and finally 'Mortal Kombat.' So, what did these films have in common? Not one of them was worth the filmstock they were shot on. However, for as bad as the film was, both the widescreen and full-screen presentations on this disc are pretty good.

Classic martial arts film based on the hit video game. Martial arts flicks weren't really being made in the U.S. at the time, so it was a bit of fresh air. It's campy and fun and doesn't take itself too seriously. And Christopher Lambert playing an asian thunder god........ What can you say to that?

Granted I have not seen this movie in years, but I remember enjoying it very much when it came out in theaters. Whether it stands the test of time (which I do not have high hopes) is another story.

Certainly 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.
