The whole movie was incredible right up until that final stretch. It’s not like I have a problem with happy endings in general, but this? This just wasn't how it should have gone down...

I was actually just grabbing coffee with him yesterday talking about this. 😁

In that little Rebirth short, Adkins played Sub-Zero, but whether he'll be in Devastation is anyone's guess since that project keeps getting sabotaged
* They shot the short film over two days on two RED cameras
* Started in early April and it took 2 months to do the post production. Most people donated their time. The short was made for $7,500
* Knew if he was going to get a chance at a genre picture, he’d have to show he could do it on his own. This is his card for a chance AT Making The next Mortal Kombat feature film and IT ’ S his Vision for How He ’ d do IT
* No one at any studio knew he was doing the short
* Oren Uziel wrote the short. He’s currently listed on IMDb to write the next Mortal Kombat movie at Warner Bros.
* Says he wants to make a movie that balances the real world with the mysticism and the special powers. Compares IT to The way Harry Potter exists in Two Worlds. As in there
are two universes that coexist with each other.
* Confirms “fatalities” are definitely in his movie. He wants to put them in the tournament in an “organic way”
* Definitely would use “get over here” (the classic line from the game)
* White plays Jax Briggs in The short and He ’ d definitely be a part of The feature
* Says Scorpion is the bad guy and will stay a bad guy
* They only had 4 hours to shoot the big fight scene

Is Sub Zero even in this? LOL

Taylor Vaughn13 said:This looks like some Dark Knight version of MK to me. Like they’re trying to go for a gritty, realistic vibe if they ever actually make a movie. I wish they’d just make it a single unit.That movie is basically just a tribute to the game I've been obsessed with forever. Honestly, what were they thinking? Total joke. 😁
It doesn't mean it'll be bad, but I’d much rather they stick to the game's actual vibe. It's like how I prefer Burton's Batman movies because they feel more like the comics—even if The Dark Knight is a solid film, honestly...

Maybe the soundtrack just totally won me over since it's absolutely phenomenal...

The Joker is a muscle-bound strongman working for the mobster labraziti. He and his buddy sidekick Franky constantly find themselves in deep water; they usually go head-to-head (heh) with the Nameless zombie Priest and his numerous evil zombie gangs! The whole thing is heavy on the supernatural stuff—ghosts, ghouls, and plenty of pie. It takes place in its own fictional universe, kind of like Hellboy.
Quote : after 10 years in prison , driver (Dwayne Johnson) has one goal: avenging his brother's death from the failed robbery that landed him behind bars. Now that he's out, he's checking names off a lethal to-do list, but he's got company—a veteran cop (Billy Bob Thornton) nearing retirement and a cocky young hitman (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) who thinks he's found his match. It's a high-stakes game of cat and mouse where the hunter becomes the prey, especially as the truth about his brother starts getting messy and the list might not be as complete as he thinks.
amberwalker4 said:So, what's the final word on that movie?
New York City's Detectives Christopher Danson and P. K. Highsmith (Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson) are the toughest, most popular cops in New York City. They don't even need tattoos—other guys get tattoos of them instead. Just a few desks away, you've got Detectives Allen Gamble (Will Ferrell) and Terry Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg). You've seen them in the background of photos of Danson and Highsmith, out of focus and eyes closed. They aren't the heroes; they're just "The Other Guys." But everyone gets a shot at greatness eventually, and before long, Gamble and Hoitz trip into a case that looks minor but turns out to be New York City's biggest crime. It's the big break they've been waiting for, but do these guys actually have what it takes?

See, look, that scene where two characters fall into the belly of the ship and just slaughter about 20 other people? That kind of thing only works in a space action flick. But you're right, the movie jumps from that action vibe into some quasi-philosophical territory, then into surrealism, and so on. And I think that's the biggest issue. They just didn't know which genre they wanted to stay in, I guess.
Personally, my favorite part was when the characters were hooking up at the end while scanning their organs. But, man, it's so incompatible with everything else in the movie that it actually made it worse.
If this had been directed by Cronenberg (or maybe Lynch), and if they had used that final scene to drive the story home, we’d be looking at a masterpiece of the decade.
The way it is now? Just erase & rewind.
quietdriver3 said:I don't know, The Wolf Man felt like a genuine gothic horror and checked all the boxes for that genre, whereas this one seems like it’s trying to be some dystopian chase movie, but it lacks quality action, it doesn't have that dystopian vibe, and there isn't even an interesting futuristic vision... everything is just hinted at, like a pile of half-baked ideas thrown together. It feels messy, kind of rushed, with characters that feel small-minded and a script that just feels uninspired... I mean, what can I even say when the peak of screenwriting brilliance is a line like, "anyone can dance a horizontal mambo" or something like that. Honestly.
Or that metaphor involving Schrödinger's cat, which the writer clearly doesn't get—it was actually kind of awkward to watch. I mean, would it have been that hard to just Google it a little before writing the script? Man, what a mess.

Bad, bad, bad. The movie kicks off feeling like some weird Python's sketch about volunteer liver donors, but then it somehow morphs into something like Brazil. If you just look at it from a distance, you might think it’s actually perfect. But honestly? It totally misses the mark. It’s confusing, pretentious, boring, half-baked, unmotivated, uninspired... did I mention it was boring? And if you believe what people are saying online, the whole thing is basically an open-and-shut case of plagiarism.
Avoid it like the plague—better yet, cordon it off with crime scene tape and wrap it up in a shroud.
