Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997)

How bad is it? It's a sequel to a movie about a video game and isn't even true to either of those.
Should you see it? No.

Uwe Boll has made a name for himself for directing flashy but terrible films based on video games, but this is worse than any of his (in my humble opinion). It's merely continuous fight set pieces with guys doing flips and somersaults with CGI effects layered over them. There is no plot. There is no characterization. There is no connection to the game Mortal Kombat, except for some names. I chuckled exactly once, as a bad guy is turned into a box - I didn't see that coming.
