Being that this a short film and normally I don't always go for short films but this one I'll be glad to make an exception.Mortal Kombat: Rebirth is mostly a short film that Director Kevin Tancharoen made to get funding for a reboot Mortal Kombat film but in a different style.Now many fans will be interest to see how they change the stories of these characters that they played as.The film started with Jackson Briggs (Played by Michael Jai White) going into a interview room with a man in the shadows, an assassin named Hanzo Hasashi aka Scorpion (Played by Ian Anthony Dale) as Briggs explain why Hanzo is in custody of the police.Sonya Blade (Played by Jeri Ryan) appears to help Hanzo with a offer he couldn't refuse. Now what makes this film special is the way it is filmed. The film does a great job with using the lighting and settings. It feels like it was inspired by Batman.The story of the film is interesting as if this would be a good interesting reboot of the films like a origin story.There is a tense fight scene between Baraka and Johnny Cage, the timing of the fight is very good.Acting level in this film is very good as well each actor they cast with Jeri Ryan, Ian Anthony Dale and Michael Jai White doing a very well done job as their characters Sonya Blade, Scorpion and Briggs.Overall if you are curious about this film check it out even Mortal Kombat fans will say it is good enough to make a film a full one.I give Mortal Kombat: Rebirth an 8 out of 10GET OVER HERE!

This short is really quite good. The action is really thrilling, the acting is about what I expected and the casting was great, at least for Jax and Scorpion. For those of you that think this short is nothing short of AMAZING, sorry, if you are looking for a cheap action flick that provides action with a severely lacking plot, then there are hundreds of movies like that from modern American cinema. Mortal Kombat has a rich story for most of its characters and to see their stories wasted on another film that goes for action graphics and tries to be more aesthetically pleasing than intellectually stimulating. Also, for those of you that think this short is the worst thing to happen to American cinema...you are most mistaken, that would probably be the remake of Clash of the Titans. Anyways, the dark tone that the short has and the frantic, overwhelming presence of mass murders in a city is something that has made the batman series a huge success. It does lack the supernatural element, which I think is key to the Mortal Kombat universe. If they found a way to keep the supernatural nature of the majority of the "kombatants" intact within the movie, I think it could be a huge success and pleasing to both fans and non-fans. Also, if you notice right at the end Hanzo Hasashi's eyes are...whited? out and he makes the claim that "Hanza Hasashi is dead." This could be hinting at the fact that he is the ninja spectre that we have all come to love. I also think that if non-fans did some research on the characters of MK, they can come to appreciate the supernatural elements, the interplay between Scorpion and Sub-Zero (both), the conflict of Raiden, and all the other rich elements of the MK universe. All in all I think this short lacks in certain key elements that make Mortal Kombat something different than UFC 121, but the direction that it is heading (meaning the dark tone and desperate feel) is right where a Mortal Kombat movie should be.

Everyone who said this was retarded need to get their head out of the nerdy fantasy world of their's. This realistic based MK movie looks bad-ass. If you didn't see, Sub Zero's face was flashed for 1 sec during the video. And he looked bad-ass. Not some idiot walking around with dirty ice tanks... And Scorpion as a top assassin is also bad-ass, Legend of Zelda's Link's Hookshot, but with blood. They even gave Scopion his famous white eyes. So yeah, this movie could be really bad-ass, or bad. So everyone will have to wait and see in the future how the movie will come out. For now you don't need to being saying this was retarded you retard! I'm sure if you directed a movie based on a video game it would totally the best movie ever! So why don't you go and do just that?

This 8 minute short movie is 10 times better than the two stupid originals combined.Mortal Kombat brought into the real world. It worked for Batman and it definitely works here. If you haven't seen it yet go to you tube and watch it now! Michael Jai White is the perfect fit for Jax. The characters are more horrifying than they were in the video game. This is the movie I wish I saw when I was 12. Mortal Kombat was built on blood and gore and that is something that both the original movies lacked. In fact I don't remember seeing any blood in either movie. They should've been rated G.Mortal Kombat Rebirth would be perfect for the die hard fans who grew up playing the video games back in the early 90's.I hope to God that this is made into a full length movie.
