After wasting a couple of hours watching various animated versions of Jim Carrey, the team decided we couldn't just let the day slip away, and decided to catch the late night show of Twilight.
And the decision was so worth it!
Twilight, the movie adaptation of the famous novel and TV series by the same name, is a love story between a beautiful teenage girl (Kristen Stewart) and a vampire, a lover who also fights hard against his desire to drink her blood.
But there's nothing gross, nothing scary about their relationship. The emotions, the heart break, the dilemmas, are beautifully brought out as the movie progresses... The passion and the yearning is wonderfully captured through small but very significant moments. A very strong and effective script lends a lot of depth to the story and the drama.
Some of the visuals are absolutely stunning... the near miss with death and the scene in which he picks her and runs up the mountain slope come in absolutely at the top. The kitchen scene when she visits the vampire's family is superbly done. Overall, the cinematography is top notch, the "atmosphere" and locales just perfect to set the mood.
Kristen is pure eye candy, beautiful, innocent and sexy, and totally dominates the screen... The charaterization of the other key characters is also spot on, the make up of the vampires repulsive, yet unnervingly attractive, at the same time.
Overall, a superb movie, worth a couple of repeats! Don't miss it!
