For a web-series it has REALLY nice special effects, looks like a regular show you'd see on t.v

WB producing it only makes me feel even more confident in the show.

This show could possibly lead to a great resurrection for the MK brand back onto the big screen!

I enjoy Tamoh (spelling?) as Curtis Stryker. I hope to see more from him as well in this series. I'd love a feature film with some quality to it. The lore and characters of Mortal Kombat has become more then just the video game series I played back when Genesis was the king of systems. Its nice how they're tying the creation of Cyrax and Sektor in with Kano, and how it relates to him getting his eye through the cybernetics stuff. Definitely good ideas, but there is some really weak acting with some of the actors. I love how the strike team went in in full gear, except Jax and Stryker haha

You beat me to the punch! Good Job! I was trying to figure out how to do it right, as this was only my second time ever trying to post.(the first time, they removed it due to "lack of content") Good show. Looks promising.

I thought it was a good setup for things to come. The only thing I didnt care for was the actor who played Kano

Good beginning.
The story is a great add for the MK games: the Black Dragon working for the Lin Kuei, why Kano will be the nemesis of Sonya, Stryker working with Jax..

Kano using some lines of his movie counterpart.

Can't wait to see Sonya fighting against Black Dragon in episode 2!

Yea that was another problem I had too, Sonya looks TOO old but ill get over it

Hey, I know it's not for a 10 points, but I really liked it and I support this kind of endeavours. You can really tell this IS MADE FOR THE FANS.

Yeah, that was awesome. Better than ANY video game movie adaptation from the past 15 years if not more, bar none.

Not bad for what it is. What was with the extreme slow-mo on Sonya at the end there? Pretty weird.

Hey Star Trek nerds the girl who plays Sonya is also the girl that was 7 0f 9 in Star Trek Voyager! little trivia there

@Starlight
You took the words right outta my mouth. This is great given the resources and money involved. They stayed true to Mortal Kombat and hopefully got the ball rolling for a badass film. Really like the tie-ins and tone great job!!

Sonya, Sarah Connor? anyone?

Well, that was actually pretty good. I agree that the actress playing sonya looks old as [frick] though.

Michael Jai White definitely doesn't always get his dues because of the movie Spawn. This is a awesome start to the web series.

Yeah, I think Jeri Ryan is a bit too old for the role. This was really good, I can't wait for the next episode... What was the point of the slow-mo when she escaped? I know it's used to give it a more dramatic effect, but it seemed like an anti-climactic end. They should've ended on the Jax/Kano fight...
sweetre15
sweetre15 - 4/12/2011, 11:50 AM
@Jazzman: So, were you surprised by how good Darren was as Kano?

I was impressed considering that he was kinda wooden in IP Man 2. I guess Kano was the role for him lol.

Not bad, good enough to check it out again next week for sure! Some of the acting was a bit campy but at the budget of a web series some of these guys are probably working for free. Scorpion and Sub-Zero should kill it when their ep. airs.
jazzman
jazzman - 4/12/2011, 12:00 PM
@Sweetre15

he was born to be Kano i have not seen IP Man 2 a friend at work told me i need to check it out.

but i do find some of the lines in the movie a bit off. also did u notice they still used Deacon City Police in the episode you see the sign at 02:00 lol.

also i like how use the factory for building the tech weapons and the robots

@jazzman: Yeah I noticed that but thanks to the semi-futuristic setting where cops seem to be more like the SF this surprisingly didn't affect much storywise with the Sonya Kano rivalry.

This was pretty good, can't wait to see more.

Unlike some people here, I am starting to like the MILF Sonya more than even the one from the first film, LOL.

MILF FTW!!!!!
