The Monster Hunter movie has already been released in many territories across the globe, in fact it was released in the United States 167 days ago, but as the U.K. had just started a second lockdown a
Resident Evil franchise, which starred his frequent collaborator (and current wife) Milla Jovovich. With
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter closing out the series in 2016, Capcom and Anderson set their sites another popular game franchise,
Monster Hunter.
In the desert, a team has all but disappeared. Another team, led by Artemis (Milla Jovovich), has been sent in to locate and if at all possible extract them. As they travel deeper into the desert, a storm appears and transports them to an alternate universe or dimension where giant kaiju rule the land, feeding on the few remaining humans. One of those remaining humans is known simply as Hunter (Tony Jaa), who speaks an unknown language to Artemis and her team, who are eventually wiped out by the kaiju. Hunter and Artemis strike up a partnership as they make their way across the desert to a more fortified location, where they meet up with The Admiral (Ron Perlman), and try to take on the kaiju themselves.
Hollywood loves making movies based off of popular video games. The first
Mortal Kombat was actually pretty good and did a great job bringing the game to the big screen. Meanwhile films like
The House of the Dead and
Super Mario Bros ended up being pretty terrible. When I heard about
Monster Hunter I hoped it might be good. I was able to get a review copy of this movie and here is what I thought of it.

Monster Hunter here:
Behind our world, there is another: a world of dangerous and powerful monsters that rule their domain with deadly ferocity. When an unexpected sandstorm transports Captain Artemis (Milla Jovovich) and her unit (TI Harris, Meagan Good, Diego Boneta) to a new world, the soldiers are shocked to discover that this hostile and unknown environment is home to enormous and terrifying monsters immune to their firepower.
