Milla Jovovich and Tony Jaa in Monster Hunter (2020)
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. In their desperate battle for survival, the unit encounters the mysterious Hunter (Tony Jaa), whose unique skills allow him to stay one step ahead of the powerful creatures. As Artemis and Hunter slowly build trust, she discovers that he is part of a team led by the Admiral (Ron Perlman). Facing a danger so great it could threaten to destroy their world, the brave warriors combine their unique abilities to band together for the ultimate showdown.

    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Director Paul W.S. Anderson and the crew traveled to remote locations in South Africa and Namibia to capture the film's expansive vistas.
    • Goofs
      During the Rangers' initial contact with the solitary sand monster, one soldier is repeatedly firing a belt-fed automatic weapon at the creature, however while you see multiple muzzle flashes, the ammunition belt is stationary and not feeding through the weapon.
    • Quotes

      Marshall: This shit is officially above my pay grade.

    • Crazy credits
      There is a scene after the first set of credits involving a monster being fought and someone observing the fight from above.
    • Alternate versions
      Not long after its theatrical release in China, the film was pulled from cinemas and subsequently banned, because a joke in the film was deemed insulting ("What are my knees? What kind of knees are these? Chi-knees"). This joke has since been removed from all versions of the movie.

    The director of a million scene cuts
    Watching this movie it was obvious from the start its a poor game to movie adaption, but it's at least entertaining, until there is a fighting scene. Within a very few seconds of the first fighting scene I knew this movie had the same director as the last resident evil movie, just because it's so many cuts, there are not even a second long continuous sequence in a fighting scene, annoying as hell to watch and I can't for my life fighter out how anyone can sponsor this director for an action movie, it's always the same...
