WORK – Fight!
The heroes travel to the Outworld to defend the Earth when Scorpion is looking for the old Kamidogu. The Mortal Kombat tournament will determine the fate of all kingdoms.
Even if the short format prevents the (too) numerous intrigues (we are no longer in an introduction), this follow-up Scorpions Revenge is a more overtly disproportionate chapter to the frantic rhythm and countless characters, where fighting (fluid and extremely violent) and fatalities (bloody to wish) do not disappoint. Another good news for franchise fans!
IMAGE – More and more!
Apart from the regular presence of aliasing due to the source (this is a low-budget production), this UHD HDR10 transfer that conquers the dark atmosphere of the franchise comes victorious against its HD counterpart.
The angular lines are better defined (see the backgrounds), the bright colors enjoy better saturation (the primary ones explode on the screen), the bold contrasts present a superior skill (the blacks sink even deeper into the depths of the Kingdom of the Nether), the bright sources, bright for the most part (the special blows), shine as much as the sun behind the Wuxi monastery, and the improvement of the binary flow consolidates everything.
SON – The bones are cracking!
Immersive and supported by many punitive effects, the VO encoded in DTS-HD MA 5.1 is extremely favorable to the violence that is unleashing here.
The mixing is balanced, the separation of the channels is meticulous, the blows carried have a lot of impact, the dynamics do not lack punch, the atmospheres regularly invite to the rear and the LFE channel is not there to rest. In short, the most impressive soundtrack (for the hour) of Warner Bros studio. Animation!
Less muscular and expansive, the VF offered in Dolby Digital 5.1 remains no less intense at its level.
CONCLUSION – Get Over Here!
In line with his predecessor, this animated component adapts the intrigues of video games Mortal Kombat II and Mortal Kombat 3 is even more painful in 4K Ultra HD. We don't change a winning team!
Nyctalope like Riddick and with a very good hearing, I am ready to jump on physical editions and SVOD platforms. But if the quality isn't on the rendezvous, stop at the bite! #WeLovePhysicalMedia
