Paul W.S. Anderson’s Monster Hunter follows the tomboyish Captain Natalie Artemis who, along with her team of wise-cracking UN soldiers, is whisked away to high adventure in The New World, where they encounter monsters, magic, epic battles, and perhaps even romance? Severed from their everyday life, Artemis’ troubles compound exponentially when she is rescued and befriended by a handsome man known only as “The Hunter.” Now, inexorably bound together, these two unlikely allies must navigate a world both wondrous and hostile. It's not going to be easy, as the ominous First Civilization has sent their most powerful minions to stop the intrepid pair before they can fulfill their destinies.
