Monster Hunter - BLU-RAY [Standard]

Extraordinary, powerful, movie. That brings true meaning to action packed, big Willie movies. The visuals are second, to none. I just can’t wait to buy a second copy as a contingency to any situations.

Great dolby atmos effects but movie itself so so..

I'll love this movie it's good to have for a collection?

I feel that this movie is one of the best of releases of 2021 for home video. In most action movies, the focus is on action and not characters. The movie has put an emphasis on the characters and I like that. Milla Jovovich leads her squad on a mission to find another squad of soldiers who have turned up missing. I feel that her character is strong but still feminine and she portrays a good leader for the men in her unit. I also enjoyed the way the movie shows the camaraderie between the member of the unit. The movie doesn't give a whole of background for each member of her squad, but you do feel a bit saddened when a character loses their life. The computer effects are top notch. I was extremely impressed with some of the realism that they presented in the movie. The best part of the movie is the sound. If you don't have DTS:X/Dolby Atmos setup you are missing out. The movie is loud, but it is the little effects that make this movie stand out. There is this scene where Milla Jovovich and another character called the Hunter who rescues her and they are held up in his cave like structure. There are giant spiders trying to get in and the movie lets you see them. The movie then pans to Milla and the hunter inside his cave, but you still hear the spiders trying to get in from the top of his cave. They are picking at the rock and all that sound is coming from your Atmos speakers. It is one of the coolest uses of object based sound placement I have heard. There are other scenes similar to this but this is my favorite. I will say it again, if you don't have an DTS:X/Atmos setup your missing out with the amount of sound movie places in the height speakers. A lot of movies will claim Atmos and have very little use for the height speakers. This movie uses them a lot. I totally enjoyed this movie and have watched it about 10 times and never get tired. I am still listening for things that I might have missed in the movie soundtrack. If you have the appropriate system this is a movie to demo to friends and family. Another huge note: This movie is family friendly. There are some scary scenes but it contains very little profanity and no nudity. I know that is a downer for some people. lol. My setup: 4 compact speakers for Atmos purchased from Monoprice I have them playing at 120 Hz and higher. DefTech Cinema 5.1 with 250watt sub. (Best Buy) Atlantic Technology 250.1 150 watt sub Onkyo TX NR 797 9.2 channel receiver (Best buy) Da Bomb!!!!! Epson 2150 1080p projector (Best Buy) with mCable Cinema (I will not need to purchase a 4K projector) 132 in Projecto Screen (nothing spectacular) I rip the movie without compression to a server with all soundtracks included and use Kodi to organize everything. 24 Terabyte Synology DS920+ NAS (network attached storage which is accessible via Kodi). I can access any of over 600 movies within a second. This system has been many, many years in the making. The only must have upgrade is the subwoofers. I want two THX certified Monoprice 500 Watt subs. The subs will make the system sound extra mean with extra tight base. I live in an apartment, and must manage my sound. I live in an older building so the dampning is better than the newer buildings that they put up in 5 minutes and charge a arm, leg and a private part for rent. I also want to upgrade the screen for better brightness and contrast. I don't classify myself as audiophile but a techie. Happy movie watching!!!

Milla Jovovich continues to impress with the movies she is in. This one is an excellent example of her ability to really sell the movie's concept.
