Not just one of the worst sequels/video game movies, but one of the worst period. I can't think of a single good thing about it. They couldn't even shoot a decent fight scene and the special effects look like something out of a PS1 game. Not to mention everything else from acting to writing is just abysmal. The first Mortal Kombat movie wasn't great, but you could tell they were at least trying somewhat. This felt like there was no effort put into at all.
shareI could think of far worse movies. I'd say its one of the worst movies of the 90s but its fun to laugh at it.
shareAnyone else watching MK Anihilation after seeing the new movie?
sharei prefer this one to that new garbage
Annihilation didn’t bother with a plot. There was just enough there to lead from one fight scene to the next. The CGI in the final boss fight was pretty bad. The fights look fake in the usual Hollywood way (qucik edits to mask the fact that the actors can’t really fight or aren’t really hurting each other; compare this to a 80’s era Hong Kong martial arts flick, where there is NO doubt about the skills and physical contact).
I saw this at a Dollar second-run theater back in the day, when such things still existed. It was a bad film…and I still enjoyed it!
I found a used VhS tape that someone just gave away. I still have it. Yes, the movie isn’t great, but ithe pacing is good, there isn’t really a slow moment in it, and there are plenty of fights. It’s nice to see practical fights for the most part, instead of CGI pixels spinning and fighting each other.
What's crazy is this one had a bigger budget than the first movie.
