    The movie star undercover was already on the 'supernatural' Mortal Kombat. Its not new from this version.

    Plus... if they made the terrible Mortal Kombat Annihalation...

    Trailers are often lies.

Where the dreamer and his dream?

    Irrelevant.

    Entirely relevant. Just because a 5 minute trailer looks good, doesn't mean a 2 hour feature length film on the same subject would work.

    And it doesn`t means it wont either, therefore because the comment doesn`t means one thing or the other, it`s entirely irrelevant.

    It is relevant. It is one of two possible outcomes -> the trailer is an accurate depiction of the forthcoming series OR the trailer is not an accurate depiction of the forthcoming series. Since we've seen the trailer and we know a full series will be made, one of these outcomes will come out. So the comment is relevant.

    So you`re saying that the series might be good or it might be bad? OH MY GOD!, mind = blown.

    It honestly sounds like you`re just being negative because it will most likely feature no true supernatural aspects the series is known for, i`m going to quote something that reflects my feelings perfectly one last time, because we`re just spinning in circles right now.

    You're still missing the point, which is that the trailer is misleading, since the director himself has stated in an interview (read the interview whydoncha?) that there will be stuff that wasn't in the trailer due to budget reasons. That is completely relevant.

    It honestly sounds like you`re just being negative because it will most likely feature no true supernatural aspects the series is known for
    Again, read the interview. They will have supernatural aspects including energy attacks. I'm only being negative to the idea of an MK movie lacking supernatural aspects. The director (and Y it seems) agrees with me.

    There's a new interview with the director, Kevin Tancharoen on GamaSutra. He says the series is going to be nine episodes, running between 7 and 10 minutes each. I'm kind of disappointed that it won't be longer, but hopefully, it's good enough to lead to a film.

    Seemed alright. Some of the action scenes were pretty lame and gave me the impression they could have been a lot better if given the proper budget and production values.

    I remember the actor that plays Kano. He's in Ip Man 2 playing Taylor "The Twister" Milos, the worldchamp boxing. Should make up for some good action.
