Mortal Kombat: Legacy - Ep. 4 - Kitana & Mileena (Part 1)

Episode 4 is a game changer when it comes to storyline and animation for the Legacy series. All the episodes recently dealt within our reality, Earthrealm, but this episode blows the lid off how this series will deal with the sci-fi aspect of these stories and characters. It starts off with Kitana's backstory describing her home realm and how Outland is coming to take and destroy everything. This takes us out of the basic set scene and gives us something that is meant to feel out of this world and they accomplish this with splashes of CG and it's never overdone. There are also animated shorts describing a lot of Kitana and Mileena's childhood and the animation style was brilliant. Those two weren't the only characters to get a spot light as Baraka, Shao Kahn, and Shang Tsung had their small parts to play. This episode definitely makes up for the last which was a bit of a dud. I have 5 dollars that says Part 2 is mostly mud wrestling! Enjoy!!
