I liked the short movie very much ! I liked the idea of "dark" and it seemed like a very good idea to bring the fantasy in the every day life like Baracka and reptile being humans. But what i didn't like is some characters not being preserved to their physical aspect. I mean what the hell was Baraka doing with dreads it looked more like Kabal rather then Baraka. Michael Jay White as Jax seems perfect for the role but i wish they don't rush into this movie because it would be a pity to ruin such a great idea as Mortal Kombat.Nowdays movies are based more on the special effects then on the story line and acting performances. Maybe someone will read our reviews and take them to consideration.

An amazing trailer with what us MK fans deserve and it was a tease only! What's it gonna take to finally have an MK movie.....this is brutality !!

At first I thought I was viewing a trailer of a new Mortal Kombat movie. I can't believe the quality of this short film.It's atmosphere is so dark and tense that remind me of a horror movie. I hope they ask this director for the next Mortal Kombat movie. The characters are excellent and they don't have super unnatural powers. They are real twisted people. A thriller background can be feel all around the film and puts Mortal Kombat franchise on another level. This is not for kids but hardcore fans of the first game are now grown up (at least 25 years old) so that's not a problem.

This is the closest to reality that Mortal Kombat can get.

Yes there are realistic elements here, but most negative comments mentioned are purely assumption. There wasn't anything said about no super natural elements being added at all, nor is Shang Tsung said to be some Mob Boss. Ever considered that an Earth Realm cover? Of course you haven't. The additions of realistic elements makes the concept so much more intense, more relatable, and likely the fantasy elements is what contributing to making the former movies so lame.

This is an amazing concept (and considering it's less than 10 minutes, there isn't much too assume here), that makes Mortal Kombat in any film form return to it's gory, intense roots. Whatever they need to do to actually make a crazy, violent MK, is fine by me. I cannot wait for the Web Series to come out, then when that hits it off, somebody get's the balls to actually make a kick ass movie from this (or maybe a Starz or HBO series similar to Sparticus, minus the lame Roman stuff).

OH and by the way for you slow people, I guess you didn't notice that "Scorpion" had no eyes in this? Most likely not.

I think this is what the MK franchise needs to generate some more interest in its direction for live-actions. MK Conquest was good but due to costs it only ran for one season. Interesting cast that's been assembled here (Michael Jai White, Ian Anthony Dale, Matt Mullins, Lateef Crowder), seems more believable than the first. MK Annihilation should just be forgotten about. MK 1 had cheesy SFX as well which didn't really add much to the fantasy aspect of it. And I'm sure the producers of this trailer aren't completely resigned to one direction as far as creative input is concerned. It could turn out that there is some whole underlying "Supernatural Element". What I would like to see and I don't know if anyone else feels the same, but this meets "Big Trouble in Little China". Shang Tsung could be this innocent enough "mob boss" who is actually like Lo Pan, a centuries old sorcerer on a quest to rejuvenate his immortality. This could work, we just have to get on here like we are now, and give these guys more ideas to work with.

When I first saw the thumbnail for this on youtube, I was intrigued. Being a fan of this game series since the original, I was very interested in seeing a new live action take on the characters. Not one second of this video disappointed me. I still watch it today. I was already a fan of Michael Jai White and this short only further cemented that, as well as made me a fan of Ian Anthony Dale, though his character's portrayal is so much better in the web series that followed this. Most of the negative reviews for this will be die-hard zealots no doubt, claiming sacrilege for the handling of the source material. I, however, applaud this short film for what it is: a short MK film for fans made by a fan. If you haven't yet, see it.

The only Mortal Kombat adaptation worthy of the first two arcade games. Long gone are those days where you could play with ultraviolence and dark humor, and pull off some clever social commentary in the process. Now everything needs to be watered down, rendered harmless with a good dose of fantasy, suitable for younger audience. Too bad the very same audiences won't be able to develop critical thinking. Ed Boon considers this a legitimate alternative MK universe but he thinks it somehow crossed the line as far as re-imagining goes, truth is the rest of the franchise is illegitimate. Over the years Scorpion, arguably the most prominent character of the series, went from mysterious hellbent ninja-wraith to meek family man. Isn't that crossing the line? I think the creators of the series themselves forgot about the 90's spirit and what made those arcade games so good, so memorable for us back then. Well, Rebirth managed to bring that spirit back in less than 8 minutes. Perfect cast too, i loved both Sonya Blade and Baraka.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first saw this but I have to say that eight minutes later when I was done, I was really impressed. This small piece gathers everything that should be expected from a game adaptation, even if we're speaking about a more somewhat alternative universe. The effects are quite good and the plot is really interesting. It's to bad we don't actually have a bigger movie after this that would follow the plot on this short one.

This seven minute short film is better than the 2021 mortal kombat garbage movie. This is very different from source material . But in a good way. For short movie its great .

Video game adaptation movies are not always easy but I would definitely say that the writer did a good job in writing the script for this movie and the casting was better than the movies made before this.

This 8 min vid, should be a trailer for an epic Mortal Kombat movie!

This is such a good take on Mortal Kombat and is much darker than the recent MK movie (which i loved)...and reminds me of the Christopher Nolan Batman movies, no comic book looking cinematography.....just something more real/ gritty.

This short NEEDS to become a full movie!

Everyone who said this was retarded need to get their head out of the nerdy fantasy world of their's. This realistic based MK movie looks bad-ass. If you didn't see, Sub Zero's face was flashed for 1 sec during the video. And he looked bad-ass. Not some idiot walking around with dirty ice tanks... And Scorpion as a top assassin is also bad-ass, Legend of Zelda's Link's Hookshot, but with blood. They even gave Scopion his famous white eyes. So yeah, this movie could be really bad-ass, or bad. So everyone will have to wait and see in the future how the movie will come out. For now you don't need to being saying this was retarded you retard! I'm sure if you directed a movie based on a video game it would totally the best movie ever! So why don't you go and do just that?

OK this is my first review first of all i'm a big m.k. fan,have all the games,and when i heard that this is happening i was more than excited.... so this movie looks cool at first when i saw it,but after thinking about it this movie will suck.why you ask 1.this director hasn't any skills in this sort of movies-look him up- 2.this is the real reason why will it suck,hes trying to make this movie to look more realistic and by realistic i mean he will cut the origins of the the characters by trying to make them from ''this''world.as every fan knows there are realms in the game and he wants to skip that and make them from one realm i mean have u heard the reptile ''skin decease'' wtf sub zero cyborg,and i cant wait to hear what will he say about kano,and liu kang if they appear in this movie so think about it and think how this is a bad idea to make it like this i'm sure not so hyped now this is my opinion,and u can agree with it or disagree if u want
