Monster Hunter (2020) is a sci-fi action film directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, based on the popular Capcom video game series of the same name. The movie stars Milla Jovovich as Captain Artemis, a military officer who, along with her team, gets transported to a parallel world filled with gigantic, deadly monsters. In this new world, she teams up with a skilled hunter (played by Tony Jaa) to survive and find a way back home.

The movie is known for its high-octane action scenes, special effects showcasing massive monsters, and intense battle sequences. While the visual effects and action received some praise, Monster Hunter was met with mixed reviews due to its thin plot and deviation from the original game’s narrative. Despite this, it was noted for its entertainment value, particularly for fans of the franchise.

The film’s monsters, including iconic creatures like Rathalos and Diablos from the games, play a central role in the film’s spectacle. Although the movie was a box office success in some markets, it was also impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic during its release.
