For nine generations an evil sorcerer has been victorious in hand-to-hand battle against his mortal enemies. If he wins a tenth Mortal Kombat tournament, desolation and evil will reign over the multiverse forever. To save Earth, three warriors must overcome seemingly insurmountable odds, their own inner demons, and superhuman foes.

Cheesy effects, dumb fun, iconic soundtrack, and shang tsung acting like the greatest villain ever created. this movie has so much personality it’s impossible not to enjoy it* the techno themes, the screams, the fight music… everything about it feels legendary*
“GET OVER HERE!”
“YOUR SOUL IS MINE”
“FLAWLESS VICTORY”
“FATALITY”
“those were $500 sunglasses, asshole”
“MORTAL KOMBAAAAT”
“I’m in a hostile environment, I’m totally unprepared, I’m surrounded by people that probably wanna kick my ass… this is like high school.”
Pure 90s chaos, loved it.

It’s bad but it’s very original and fun at least unlike the 2021 one
