![]() ![]() It's feels like someone took the "footage" and cut it haphazardly in a weekend. I was genuinely surprised to see that the animation studio is American, probably they used some game engine to make it. You know, 3D animated with that fake hair and primary colors and an unnatural movement. At the very least it's a lot more faithful than the 2020 live action movie.Īnother animated video game adaptation, it is a lazy film that is barely an hour long and looks Chinese. ![]() Overall it's worth checking out if you're a fan of the games, just don't expect it to be anything amazing. Ironically it feels more like a cutscene from one of the games rather than animated movie quality, perhaps this was the intention but it doesn't work very well. Though it's impressive to look at and matches the art style of the games, the character's movements feel very stiff and their voices often don't sync up very well with what's on screen. I feel it would have been better to see Aiden grow and improve as a hunter over several episodes, eventually leading up to an elder dragon. We don't really spend enough time with the characters to get to know them very well and having an elder dragon (essentially the most powerful monsters that exist) be Aiden's first big monster is a strange choice. Personally I feel this story would work better as a series rather than a standalone movie. ![]() From then on the two share a sort of student and mentor relationship. The villagers don't believe Julius as he's an outsider so he takes Aiden with him to see the elder dragon for himself. ![]() The movie follows a young aspiring Hunter named Aiden who is trying to prove himself as a monster hunter when a more experienced hunter named Julius arrives at his village to warn them of an elder dragon on it's way to destroy them. Where the movie falls short however is in it's story and animation. Overall it is a faithful adaptation, all the iconic monsters are there and it looks and feels like it's part of the Monster Hunter universe. As a fan of the series I was interested in watching it to see how closely it follows the games. This movie is an adaptation of the Monster Hunter video game series. ![]()
