Skip it tonight unless you're a die-hard fighting game fan or nostalgia junkie. The 1995 Mortal Kombat is campy fun with a killer soundtrack, but the plot is thin, the acting is wooden, and it hasn't aged particularly well—you're basically watching tournament fight scenes strung together by exposition.

Plot

For nine generations an evil sorcerer has been victorious in hand-to-hand battle against his mortal enemies. If he wins a tenth Mortal Kombat tournament, desolation and evil will reign over the multiverse forever. To save Earth, three warriors must overcome seemingly insurmountable odds, their own inner demons, and superhuman foes.
