More details on IMDB and Wikipedia 

An imaginary movie that is set to fill a gap during a time when history was not recorded. The Great Wall (2016) does not intend to present a possible version of history. Instead, this movie is all about providing a Hollywood style spectacle, showing us a war between a monster army and humanity.

A group of European mercenaries are traveling very far to the east. Their goal is to reach a land known as China in order to acquire the secret weapon of gunpowder. As they arrive near their destination, they are attacked during the night by what might looked like a monster. Two of them survive after cutting the monster's hand, they are Matt Damon and Pedro Pascal.

A good movie that in 2016 was not praised as much it deserved. This is one of the many undervalued movies that I started this blog in order to present them and say "enjoy watching this".
