“MMA fighter Cole Young seeks out Earth's greatest champions in order to stand against the enemies of Outworld in a high stakes battle for the universe.”
The Mortal Kombat trailer we have all been waiting for is finally here, and it looks INTENSE!! I was born in 1984 (yes, I know I’m old), so to say that Mortal Kombat was a big part of my childhood would be an understatement. My friends and I would spend hours mastering the finishing moves, and when the cut scene for a move was triggered, we just watched in pure awe. It was a truly magical time.
The dream was always to have the movie version of the game and in 1995, that is exactly what we got. And to be honest, I really liked it. I mean the soundtrack got me all kinds of fired up, and still does to this day. But it was far from perfect. I mean first of all, it was rated PG-13 (yawnnnnnnnn). So for years now we have been itching for a R-rated movie that could truly embody what Mortal Kombat is, and well, that day is nearly here.
This new Mortal Kombat looks incredible, and has me feeling next-level nostalgic. I will be sitting in the movie theater day 1 for this, and it cannot come soon enough.
Mortal Kombat is set to hit theaters, IMAX, and HBO Max April 23rd. Watch the UNRATED trailer below.
