Hello Steemian,
I hope you all are doing great and I am doing fine too. Even though my head still hurts from all that drinking on Sunday. But It ain't the hangover, but the side effects of a movie which had me at its crosshair. I am still wondering why was I lying on the floor like a dead mouse when all I had was a beer. My Steemit buddy 
Since I knew its a sequel, I decided to watch the first part. But before that, I wanted to feel the rage and excitement and downloaded the MK game and played it for a couple of hours and now I was primed for the movies. The first one was difficult to watch because they reduced one of my favorite character Raiden (God of thunder) to Movie Raiden (God of Walk-through). But the movie was bad but not that bad. I mean I had seen movies which I rather not mention today. Still, I wouldn't consider this to be the absolute worst, And then I realized that I was supposed to watch the Sequel "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation"
Spoilers: I know many of you hadn't seen the movie yet, And I respect your choice. But if you are planning on watching this abomination. Heed my warning, You may lose your soul. I have nothing more to say.
The movie starts where the Mortal Kombat ended the lead characters walking in the temple of light, where he is joined by strangers. Later you would know that half of the cast has been switched. Yes!!! That is what happened the characters, Sonia was switched, Johnny was Switched and even Raiden was switched from 'I swear I have seen him somewhere' to Harry Morgan, Dexter's Dad. Even though the previous actor hadn't done anything in the movie but I still looked a Little more like Raiden than this new Raiden. Anyway, why should I complain about such a silly thing when I have another hour and a half to crying about things.
Just like the first movie this movie too introduces us the Villian in the beginning, The Shou Kahn is introduced alongside his sidekicks and I have only one thing to say to their introduction, Bad Writing and even worst acting. And not just him, My the entire group of people in it. I would really love to fix the movie If I ever get a chance. I know I may not be a good actor, But It can't be that bad... Right??? Take the example of the queen Sindel. She is the mother of the 10000-year-old katana, (Just roll with it) And katana just encountered her when she appeared alongside the Shou Kahn.
Katana : Mother You are alive
Sindel : Too Bad you (Pause) will die.
And I was like, Too bad you got this line..
Trust me we are just 4 minutes in the movie, in which 1min is for opening credit. It is too early for stupid dialogues and dialogues deliveries.
And the setting itself is bad, It starts immediately after the first part ending. Like these heroes saved the earth from Shang Tsung the Villain from the first part and literally after 30 secs another world ending event was kicked off, I would suck to be a mortal in that world.
So johnny gets killed because of Raidens stupidity. I mean if he could take the all the generals of show kahn just by pointing finger at them, I don't understand why does he gets his ass kicked so many times. But I am happy, Taking johnny out is a good move. I consider that as one less badly written character although poor johnny didn't even get to show his acting skills, But I am ok with that. So the Raiden makes a brilliant plan of recruiting more peoples at least that what the plan is . Because the Lead Liu Kang went on a soul searching mission, where he fights Nightwolf's animality and Jades sexuality (sex appeal) which are supposed to be the some kinda of tests. And Sonia is joined by her partner Jax played by an athlete turned actor who doesn't have a Wiki page.
From this point out It is pure action film if you consider, People jumping and flipping and doing somersaults and handstands as action. I was surprised to see this movie is filled with so many character and yet failed to utilized the characters, I mean scorpion and Subzero were there for few minutes. Ninja Cyborgs were there for few minutes, Sexy looking ninja lady in red ninja shirt and black pants and with beautiful blue eyes was there for a couple of minutes.
Raiden scarified his immortalities and god status to fight alongside humans and they all travel to outworld to confront Shou Kahn and his generals. Where Jax fight a centaur, Katana fights Sindel and Sonia fights the leftover. And that is not my joke, She described one of the general who always stood by Shao kahn as the leftover. The movie didn't care to name that guy. Raiden got his ass handed over to him and dies. Jax, Katana and Sonia wins their fights. Liu Kang and shao kahn engages in a fierce battle where Liu turned into a green colored dragon and ShaoKahn turned into and unfinished animation. (I really don't what it was supposed to be...) and Liu kang kill shao kahn and everybody returns to their home.
And that was the Mortal Kombat Annihilation. I guess it did its best to be in this Bad movie category, This movie is full of fight, I understand that this I based on a fighting game, But Flipping, jumping and backflips are not fight. And under all that bad acting and writing and flips and jump, I think there is a Plot but I know the moment shao kahn and sindel spoke you had given up on the movie.
STUPID MOVIE
For those who are interested in the plot and characters, The Red Ninja was supposed to be ermac, a powerful sidekick and badass and the sexy lady with the blue eye was Dana Hee a taekwando gold medalist at olympics level.. And I think the character was supposed to be maleeena; And the movie sucks, But the soundtrack rocks
And I would like to thank
I am 
This movie made me wish that I had quanchi's power of teleporatation stomp so that I can teach the movie how it is done. :-)
Please note that all the comments were on the performance and not on the actors. I am sure I would love to meet them and real life and would definatly ask 'what were you thinking?'
