Nerdy Pleasure Factor: 🎲 Worth the Roll

Synopsis

Outworld has defeated Earthrealm in nine tournaments. The Outworlder Sorcerer Shang Tsung sends his warriors to preemptively eliminate Earthrealm's champions before the next tournament.

Nerdy Take

I've rewatched this movie because of the release of Mortal Kombat II. I really didn't remember much about the movie so it was great watching it again. The actors do well to portray their characters. They also look the part so props to costumes and makeup. It was cool to see moves from the games. And with the Mortal Kombat theme music you can't help but feel the nostalgia. I have the desire to fire up the PlayStation 4 and play Mortal Kombat II.
