Mortal Kombat: Conquest is the title of an animated film, released in 1995, loosely based on the video game characters from the Mortal Kombat franchise. The animated film uses both traditional 2D cell animation, motion capture and CGI to tell the origins behind several of the major characters.
As a direct-to-video release, with a running time of fifty-four minutes, the film was widely panned by mainstream critics, and fans of the series who saw it as a rushed product largely designed to hype the Mortal Kombat feature film. Today, it is considered something of an embarrassment to the franchise, and can be purchased online for next to nothing.
[edit] Storyline
The film features Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, and Sonya Blade traveling on a mysterious boat to battle in the Mortal Kombat tournament. On the way they meet Lord Raiden who provides them with some hints about how to survive the tournament and defeat Shang Tsung and his army of minions.
Upon arriving at the island where the battle takes places, Lord Raiden retells the origins of both Shang Tsung and Goro, mixed in with fight scenes with the minions.
