Not Zombie dudes, Spectre - sort of a Ghost (Spirit) that is manifested physically but retains some of it's non-physical traits and abilities.
Indeed this new 'featurette' is a departure, though so was Annihilation in terms of a decent movie.
I loved the 1st Movie Adaptation of the game franchise that ranks as my favourite console franchise (equal with Sonic The Hedgehog) and if this new movie pitch re-instates the franchise to where it should be then I'm all for it so long as certain core aspects remain, such as the Sub-Zero/Scorpion rivalry, Shang Tsung/Lui Kang rivalry, other Realms and GORO!.
Indeed the Johnny Cage vs. Baraka fight was freakin' awesome, especially the part where Johnny loses his head! (I friggin' hate Shadow Kicks!)
I hope this is just a taste of what's to come and that lessons learnt from:
- Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
- Street Fighter: The Movie
- DOA (Holly Valance is Hawt!)
Are not repeated!, we need a "Flawless Victory".
