The year was 1995 – the world of videogame nerds was overtaken by the cinema masterpiece that was Mortal Kombat. ..ok, fine, it wasn’t a masterpiece, but it was kinda badass.
The year was 1997 – the world of videogame nerds realized something had gone horribly wrong and the movie studio was trying to cash-in on the IP and gave us Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.
So now, what happens when the Somethings go back in time, choose their Kombatent and rise through the ranks to fight against the villanous Shao Khan.. who is apparently not the Emporer of the Outworld trying to take over the Overworld… he is, apparently, a whiny Italian man whose father really pulls the strings. Maybe. We don’t know.
Test your might – and your stomach this week on 1-Star Movie: Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.
Okay here we g–MORTAL KOMBAT, duhn duhn duhn du duhn!
