When HBO Max was initially announced, a lot of people shrugged their shoulders. Who needs another streaming service when we have Disney Plus, Amazon Prime and Netflix. And those people were right, until mid-December 2020 when a massive announcement was made regarding the exclusive release of all Warner Bros Studio movies coming directly to HBO Max. It was massive news, news that will change the landscape of cinema forever. Of course, the directors and showbiz people were not happy as they feel this is the death knell to the cinema experience. And they may have a point. Yet for us the entertainment consumer this is fantastic news. So with that out of the way let’s look at the big movie hitters heading to HBO Max’s platform in 2021.
MORTAL KOMBAT
RELEASE DATE: January 15, 2021
Mortal Kombat, which is based on the video game of the same name, marks the third installment in the successful film franchise. The latest Mortal Kombat movie follows Shaolin Monk Liu Kang (Ludi Lin), who is invited to compete in the intergalactic martial arts tournament. A failing boxer uncovers a family secret that leads him to a mystical tournament called Mortal Kombat where he meets a group of warriors who fight to the death in order to save the realms from the evil sorcerer Shang Tsung. Did we need another Mortal Kombat movie, probably not. Are we going to watch the new Mortal Kombat movie? You better believe it.
