I got a Sin City/Scott Pilgrim vibe from the animation/live-action stuff. But I do think they switched back and forth too many times. I would have preferred if they had done the first half in animation and then transfer over to live-action for the last part.

It was also a bit odd that the entire episode was done with VO narration, unlike the previous 3 eps. I mean, who is telling this story and who are they telling it to? I guess if it was Raiden telling the story to Liu Kang or the other heroes, I could see. But it sounded like either Sindel or Kitana herself was doing the VO.
