This movie makes literally no sense. It directly contradicts IMPORTANT story points from the first movie and there’s an entire scene devoted to explaining how much the lore is absolute gobbledygook. And I watched the version that was supposedly SALVAGED after years of work because the original cut was an even bigger mess!
All that said? I enjoyed it WAY more than the first one! Don’t get me wrong, the first one is three stars because it’s a functioning movie, but this one is three stars because it’s so much fun in spite of not functioning at all. Lambert is full 95 Mortal Kombat mode. The fights are crazier, the effects are the good kind of bad, and the “story” is nonsense. Apparently the original cut didn’t have the opening text that explains everything and it involved an alien planet? Why??
This movie takes place in 2024! This year! If I had known that, I would have watched it New Years Day! The Quickening!
