It’s weird that a movie that makes such an effort to take Mortal Kombat lore seriously could mess that aspect up so spectacularly. Tries to be epic but feels low stakes. The fights are better than the previous attempts but the look of it all is hokey in different ways.
Maybe I’d feel different if I saw it in a theater, but the world felt so empty that everything just seemed small and undercooked. This OC doofus was not engaging and all he served to do was pull focus away from the characters that made this franchise popular. Not a fan.
