damien-0-211533 I may be 17 but I am a big fan of mortal kombat, loved the games and then liked the films, however I must say that you guys need to stop looking at this film as a remake, look at it as a brand new film. The concept is great, having the same old storyline would just be too boring and predictable whereas by bringing in a whole new concept for the film they are able to play with the storyline a lot more. And about the whole fantasy element, I would like to see a slight fantasy element but not as much as in the previous films or the games as that is too much fantasy, but the trailer doesn't mention any fantasy but then again it doesn't mention lack of a fantasy element, you really cant be sure unless someone actually does make a full film out of it. They chose a great actor for the role of jax as he is so bad ass. And as for the other characters I think I would enjoy watching the film and trying to figure out who is who before you are told, it would be interesting to see how the characters came to be. So again look at this as a brand new film, a "rebirth" of the film ;)

mikeyvwj Everyone who said this was retarded need to get their head out of the nerdy fantasy world of their's. This realistic based MK movie looks bad-ass. If you didn't see, Sub Zero's face was flashed for 1 sec during the video. And he looked bad-ass. Not some idiot walking around with dirty ice tanks... And Scorpion as a top assassin is also bad-ass, Legend of Zelda's Link's Hookshot, but with blood. They even gave Scopion his famous white eyes. So yeah, this movie could be really bad-ass, or bad. So everyone will have to wait and see in the future how the movie will come out. For now you don't need to being saying this was retarded you retard! I'm sure if you directed a movie based on a video game it would totally the best movie ever! So why don't you go and do just that?

embry24 I like the fact that it is "dark" and has some reality feel to it BUT this is Mortal Kombat!!!! What the heck was Boon Tobias thinking about? I know he is shitting his pants right now! Reptile,Scorpion and Baraka as humans?! I almost cried when I saw that video. It is far from being MK and they have just destroyed the History of it. I will NOT see this movie when it comes out, just too disappointed!!Wow...Terrible Terrible Terrible. I wish that they would stop putting out video games or cartoons into movies, unless your going to keep it original and put a lot, a lot of effort into it so loyalist would be satisfied!!! DragonBall was terrible, the first Mk was OK, the second was garbage, street fighter was OK but nobody seems to know how to mix reality with fantasy! They could of kept the concept of "Dark" and reality, such as Jax being a PC and Sonya a cop but trying to humanize the other characters is a sin. They should of let the production team of whoever makes the Marvel movies make MK or let Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarrantino put there Sin City spin on it; That would of been awesome!

zantertaylor This is the style of Saw meeting the action of any good martial Arts film, no cheesy one liners gr8 cast for a short.R-rated how the Mortal kombat's should have been from the start.Characters based on madness and high power influence not supernatural and other dimensions crap, in a modern day city that is over run by crime and most likely corruption.Even though only being a short i can picture in my mind so much more from this film. Any film company to see this short, and not turn it into a feature length movie which would almost certainly make it's money back and more, are stupid in my eye's. A good video game turn movie is hard to come by now a days this movie could bring life to an old franchise and breathe new life into old characters and bring new hope for all the fans who want to see a decent MK movie.Here's hoping for a new MORTAL KOMBAT tournament FIGHT ! FATALITY !
