Written and directed by the talented Paul W.S. Anderson (Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, Death Race), and based on the Kaname Fujioka Capcom videogame, Monster Hunter looks to be a movie that begs to be seen in theaters, more specifically IMAX.
The film stars one of Anderson’s favorite actresses to work with, Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil: Afterlife), as well as Tony Jaam, T.I., Meagan Good, and Ron Perlman.
“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.”
