ROUND UP
The latest take on the videogame franchise,
MORTAL KOMBAT
(4K/ Blu-ray/DVD/download/ VOD, out now) features Lewis Tan as an MMA fighter training to battle the forces of Outworld. We said: “The editing is so quick that it wastes a lot of the raw talent, and for all the battles here, there is no actual competition… a gigantic tease with little pay-off.” Blu-ray extras include deleted scenes, a Making Of, and pieces on fan-favourite characters, Easter eggs and fight choreography. Shot-oniPhones indie flick THRESHOLD (Blu-ray, out now) follows a brother and sister on a road trip after a cult ritually bind her to a stranger so they experience the same sensations. We said: “Their (largely improvised) bonding sessions eventually become a bore… What passes for a dramatic climax is perfunctory and risible.” The extensive extras include a feature-length Making Of. Finally, the reissues of Reeltime Pictures’ “Myth Makers” Doctor Who interviews continue, with a new range focused on production staff. THE JON PERTWEE YEARS Volume One (DVD, out now) includes vintage chats with producer Barry Letts, script editor Terrance Dicks, writer Don Houghton, and directors Christopher Barry and Paul Bernard. Finally: the latest TV box set deluge includes a complete set of the Seth Rogen/Evan Goldberg-produced time travel comedy FUTURE MAN (DVD), What We Do In The Shadows spinoff WELLINGTON PARANORMAL season one (Blu-ray/DVD) and WYNONNA EARP season four (Blu-ray/DVD).
