Since the first Mortal Kombat movie in 2021 gave fans an unflinching treatment of the video game we’ve been baying for a sequel. We’re not here for subtlety. By now, fans expect a level of violence in the fight to defend Earthrealm, and the sequel delivers, with graphic violence and gore.
Mortal Kombat II is raw, uncompromising and pushes the levels of combat to the very limit. The story is about the fight for the survival of Earth, and martial arts is the technique to foil the horrors. Oh, we nearly forgot to mention Johnny Cage. Yes, he’s in it, a reluctant hero with swagger and humour that goes incredibly well with the story world.
Crucially, it doesn’t detract from the sequel’s hard-hitting premise. Because this is where the tournament really begins – on 8th May. Book your place now. The win is to be prepared.
It’s going to be a brutal ride. To experience it to the max, see it in IMAX
There’s no danger of being distracted in an IMAX cinema. The battle arenas are vast, and the fights larger than life as every strike that lands is felt. It’s not just what’s going on in front of you, the sound makes the experience even more visceral as the audio heightens the combat, immersing you even deeper into the action. The most amazing backdrops of this fantasy story are stunning to look at too. Such vistas deserve to be seen on as big a scale as possible. And IMAX is the way to see it.
Feel it to believe it in 4DX
At a 4DX screening you don’t just see the fight; you feel it too. If there’s a blast on screen you’ll feel the force of it in your seat. When there’s destruction on screen, it’s intense, right, and you want the magnitude to be felt right to your core. It’s totally thrilling. Same goes for the environment too. Fire, ice and blasts in 4DX have a way of reaching you all the way to your cinema seat.
For all-round spectacle, get your head in the game with SCREENX
You know those awesome bits in the movies when the action peaks and you wish the screen would in that moment somehow get bigger and wider and just swallow you right up? Well with a SCREENX viewing it kinda will. The screen literally grows, along with the impact of the action, through projected extra sides on each side of the main screen. It’s a brilliant and totally effective format for intense action sequences.
For something big and bold, try Superscreen
If you want an extra experience, but don’t want to feel overwhelmed, Superscreen could be the format for you. It’ll give you more of the film than if you were viewing it on a standard screen, but it’s just enough to please the senses, rather than overpowering them. It’s premium, but not too much.
Whichever screen format you pick, the quest remains the same…
To be one of the first in on the action, book your tickets in time for a special preview screening on 7th May. Lord Raiden has issued a call to arms, “our only chance is to face this together”. The battle is about to commence. We’re ready. Are you? How about Johnny Cage? “I’m not some great warrior; I’m not some champion,” Johnny says. That remains to be seen Johnny. We have faith.
If you need to refresh your combat skills in time for the big battle you can watch the first film, Mortal Kombat, at Cineworld on either 1st May or make your own double bill and book to watch the first film on the same day as preview screenings of Mortal Kombat II. To make it truly a battle day to remember, book Mortal Kombat in 4DX or IMAX.
