VOD: Monster Hunter (dir: Paul W.S. Anderson, 2021)

"This isn't right - none of it."

For Monster Hunter, director Anderson revisits his love of the Alien and Predator franchises, throws in bits of Pitch Black, Tremors and Starship Troopers, and the result is pretty much what you would expect and little else for a video-game adaptation creature-feature that throws a hardened troop of soldiers into another dimension to face off against huge CGI beasties.  Milla Jojovich swaps Resident Evil zombies for the huge unwordly creatures here with her usual energy and commitment, but apart from the spectacular location shooting, the overall outcome here is very much efficient and mildly engaging.
