The first few movies based on video games didn’t exactly give a great reputation to the genre. However the fourth video game movie to ever be made was Mortal Kombat, and it didn’t do too poorly at the box office– meaning that the FIFTH video game movie ever made was a sequel! It… it wasn’t great.
Mortal Kombat Annihilation raises a ton of questions. Like why did a bunch of the original actors quit? Why were the events of the first movie undone in just a few seconds?
