    The Cinematic Schematic host Caleb Masters breaks down bloody brawling video game logic in his review of Mortal Kombat II.

    The COVID-era 2021 film from director Simon McQuoid and writer Jeremy Slater hit the right tone, but it got a little too bogged down in scene-setting mythology to call it a home run.

    Is the second outing a flawless victory or a fatality? Tune in for the verdict.

    The film opens exclusively in theaters everywhere this Friday.


    About Mortal Kombat II

    According to IMDB, the movie is described as:

    The fan favorite champions — now joined by Johnny Cage himself — are pitted against one another in the ultimate battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders.
