Great documentary

It's an awesome documentary that covers the history of Mortal Kombat and Midway Games during the 1990s. I really enjoyed learning more about the characters and the creation of things like fatalities. I also really enjoyed that they covered the Mortal Kombat 1995 movie and showed footage and behind the scenes footage of the movie. The footage shown includes the characters like Robin Shou as Liu Kang, Talisa Soto as Kitana, and Linden Ashby as Johnny Cage. Overall it's an amazing documentary to watch, especially if you love Mortal Kombat. On top of that, if you enjoy NBA Jam or other games it's still a very interesting film.

I thought it was good

I might be a little biased as I am a really big fan of the Mortal Kombat Franchise. Overall I really enjoyed this documentary. It went over a lot about the franchise and the overall atmosphere of the gaming industry in the 90s. I enjoyed learning about Ed Boon and John Tobias a little more and the addition of Fatalities and origins of the characters. They go over multiple characters in depth like Johnny Cage, Scorpion and Kitana. I do wish they covered some of the villains such as Shang Tsung and Shao Kahn, but overall it was a great watch as a fan. I'd easily recommend it to anyone who loves arcade games or Mortal Kombat itself.

Great film if you love the franchise and characters like Johnny and Kitana

If you want to learn more about the actual history of Mortal Kombat this is a great film to check out. It goes over that history and the foundation of all the games while simultaneously explaining the origins of finishing moves, characters and so on. For characters, it breaks down how they were inspired and also shows gameplay throughout. Characters focused on include Scorpion, Johnny, Sonya, Sub Zero, Liu Kang and Kitana. Kitana even does her banality finishing move during part of the film. Overall it's entertaining enough, but very interesting to watch. I strongly suggest checking it out if you are interested in it.
