The Outworld villains, refusing to accept the outcome of the tenth Mortal Kombat tournament, try their hand at the direct approach--storming Earth instead, amidst the same synthetic fog, computer morphing, and pounding techno score cues as the first film. Waiting to rebuff them are valiant Earth warriors Liu Kang, the burly Jax, and Sonya Blade, as well as a newly humanized Rayden. [More]

Reviews for Mortal Kombat - Annihilation
The most stimulating, satisfying aspect of this action fantasy is the theme music.
A little more work is required, for instance, on four-arm technology.
You know that when an acting joke like Christopher Lambert won't even return for the sequel, some fragile line has been crossed.
It's just an excuse for a series of tedious, repetitious fight scenes that have been staged with no hint whatsoever of originality.
Please, folks, unless you feel like there is nothing left for you in this world and want to end it all, avoid this film at all costs.
Here's the lowdown on the latest chapter in Mortal Kombat: deadly dull.
Pic consists largely of choppily edited fight scenes (usually involving somersaults and back flips) combined with various computer graphic effects.
As far as the plot, the repetitive bombardment of similar scenarios makes the film seem very long and painfully drawn out.
This tedious hodgepodge of martial-arts mayhem, bogus mysticism and computer-generated special effects doesn't even pretend to have a plot.
This is an example of a sequel just as terrible as the first movie: same stuff, different day.
Its dazzling special effects make its combatants flip and fly, spin and soar, all the while punching and kicking each other like jackhammers, only to leave viewers utterly unmoved.
Aided by a one dimensional set that isn't clever enough to be comic-like, this film has a Neanderthal mentality.
