QUICK TAKE:
Action: An Army Ranger joins forces with a primitive hunter in an alternate world to battle the enormous monsters that live there.
PLOT:

Captain Artemis (MILLA JOVOVICH) is an Army ranger who's leading a squadron -- consisting of Lincoln (TIP "T.I." HARRIS), Marshall (DIEGO BONETA), Dash (MEAGAN GOOD), and Steeler (JOSH HELMAN) -- in search of another Army squadron that mysteriously vanished without a trace. They soon learn why as they're quickly overcome by an immense storm that sends them through some sort of dimensional portal to a desert world. There, they find the remains of the missing squadron, but also a gargantuan monster that's seemingly immune to their firepower and quickly makes waste of them.

Able to escape from a nest teeming with huge spider-like monsters, Artemis ends up the lone survivor and eventually finds a graveyard of wrecked schooners from long ago. There, she runs into a primitive man, the Hunter (TONY JAA), who initially views her as an enemy and vice-versa. But they quickly realize -- despite not speaking the other's tongue -- they must team up to survive the monster attacks, eventually running into The Admiral (RON PERLMAN) who knows the lay of the land, much like the Hunter.

Facing an even more deadly monster, they do what they can to fend off that fire-breathing dragon, all while Artemis hopes to get back to the portal to return to her world.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
