Mortal Kombat (UK)

A fun filled mystical martial arts action adventure. Johnny Cage, Lui Kang and Sonya Blade are all persuaded/tricked into competing in mortal kombat which is a battle for the world. Through the voyage johnny, lui and sonya become great buddies and there are a few laughs and stuff. The action is really good. Plot is predictable but in martial arts/action movie, I dont think that it is that important. The fights were well done and so were the settings.

For a dvd, the picture is really quite poor. I was dissapointed with this. There are signs of grain and scenes lacking sharpness aplenty. The soundtrack however is great. I love the mortal kombat theme and on the dvd it sounds brilliant.
I was ever so dissapointed by the lack of extras. There is virtually nothing there.

Overall I think sometimes people are over critical of action movies.What this film lets down in plot, it makes up in action and this film had some gorgeous action and brilliant effects. A good movie with good re-watchability rating. The dvd is not that good although the film kicks ass so its sort of a mixed thing here. If you like the movie then get the dvd else give it a miss. (I gave the content a 7 but really its about 6.5)
