Mortal Kombat: Annihilation | 1997 | PG-13 | - 1.7.1
It's good versus evil for no less than the fate of the world.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - Some innocent sexual innuendo, and some skimpish female costumes.
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - Wall-to-wall violence and mayhem but, in the spirit of the film's video-game roots, there is no blood or gore. However, the level of physical violence is extreme, and several characters die or are badly hurt. Lots of assorted sharp weaponry is used. A character is shot with a laser blast and disintegrates into a skeleton. A man is hit with a laser blast and dies. A woman is crushed underneath a falling cage. A woman kills a man by breaking his neck with her ankles. A man is knocked about with a giant mallet. A woman is attacked by a monster and devoured. Two characters fall into a pit of fire.
LANGUAGE 1 - A few mild obscenities.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Violence, martial-arts, supernatural beings.
MESSAGE - Have faith in yourself and good will triumph over evil. Physical violence does solve problems.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
