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 ;)

Yes there are realistic elements here, but most negative comments mentioned are purely assumption. There wasn't anything said about no super natural elements being added at all, nor is Shang Tsung said to be some Mob Boss. Ever considered that an Earth Realm cover? Of course you haven't. The additions of realistic elements makes the concept so much more intense, more relatable, and likely the fantasy elements is what contributing to making the former movies so lame.This is an amazing concept (and considering it's less than 10 minutes, there isn't much too assume here), that makes Mortal Kombat in any film form return to it's gory, intense roots. Whatever they need to do to actually make a crazy, violent MK, is fine by me. I cannot wait for the Web Series to come out, then when that hits it off, somebody get's the balls to actually make a kick ass movie from this (or maybe a Starz or HBO series similar to Sparticus, minus the lame Roman stuff).OH and by the way for you slow people, I guess you didn't notice that "Scorpion" had no eyes in this? Most likely not.

OK this is my first review first of all i'm a big m.k. fan,have all the games,and when i heard that this is happening i was more than excited.... so this movie looks cool at first when i saw it,but after thinking about it this movie will suck.why you ask 1.this director hasn't any skills in this sort of movies-look him up- 2.this is the real reason why will it suck,hes trying to make this movie to look more realistic and by realistic i mean he will cut the origins of the the characters by trying to make them from ''this''world.as every fan knows there are realms in the game and he wants to skip that and make them from one realm i mean have u heard the reptile ''skin decease'' wtf sub zero cyborg,and i cant wait to hear what will he say about kano,and liu kang if they appear in this movie so think about it and think how this is a bad idea to make it like this i'm sure not so hyped now this is my opinion,and u can agree with it or disagree if u want

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 !
