From the Studio
Forever is only the beginning...
Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), plus those they love, must deal with the chain of consequences brought on by a marriage, honeymoon, and the tumultuous birth of a child in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1, including an unforeseen and shocking development for werewolf Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner).
In The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1, the newfound married bliss of Bella and Edward is cut short when a series of betrayals and misfortunes threatens to destroy their world. After their wedding, Bella and Edward travel to Rio de Janeiro for their honeymoon, where they finally give in to their passions. Bella soon discovers she is pregnant, and during a nearly fatal childbirth, Edward finally fulfills her wish to become immortal. But the arrival of their remarkable daughter, Renesmee, sets in motion a perilous chain of events that pits the Cullens and their allies against the Volturi, the fearsome council of vampire leaders, setting the stage for an all-out battle...
With more of the romance, passion, intrigue and action that made The Twilight Saga (Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse), Breaking Dawn - Part 1, based on Stephenie Meyer's bestselling book series, begins the conclusion of the tale of vampire love, boundless friendship, acceptance, and finding your true self. ©Summit Entertainment

Costumer Reviews
This time I waited to see the film before reading the book, as last time I did not enjoy the movie very much having read the book first. This time I did not know what to expect, and was not comparing the film to the book, which made for a riveting movie experience.
The film deals with serious subject matter, and while the love scenes are not explicit, the birth scene could tramatise young girls, so I would not recommend the film for under 12's. I find the film best suited to 15 and up, as with the previous two.
It was sumptuous viewing with gorgeous sets and locations, emotion packed and compelling situations and characters. The symbolism was strongest yet in this film, very psychological, and it had the feel of classic literature about it as well.
Gripes are that I found the vampires not nearly as beautiful as they are described in Stephanie's books, especially the visiting guests, and the white makeup seemed more apparant, even tactlessly tapering off at hairline and necklines. Characters also have new hairstyles, making them not instantly recognizeable. I found myself thinking, "Hold on... who is this?"
It ends at a good place, we are not left with a cliffhanger. I really enjoyed it, and am looking forward to part two!
I would wait until they show it on tv if you are really that curious for the movie. As soon as the film started I regretted it straightaway. Kristen is a horrible actress who's range goes from bosom-heaving-nervous-breaths to blinking a whole lot. The acting was awkward the story line was lame and SERIOUSLY the music was way off.
Normally the music tends to be good in these films, at least... but this time it's timing was as awkward as the acting/scenes.
I am not a big fan. I read all the books and watched the movies because I wanted to enjoy sharing with my girls since they enjoyed them. However as they get older, they see how Bella's character is so damn pathetic, needy, clingy and Edward's character was so chauvanistic and condesending. The last book was more tolerable because Bella was becoming more assertive but the story as a whole left me feeling indifferent.
Don't bother... or if you really have to get the film for your collection, just wait until they throw this one is the 5 dollar bin at Walmart.
