Bella Swan (Stewart) doesn't expect much when she moves to the small town of Forks, Washington, until she meets the mysterious and handsome Edward Cullen (Pattinson) - a boy who's hiding a dark secret he's a vampire. As their worlds and hearts collide, Edward must battle the bloodlust raging inside him as well as a coterie of undead that would make Bella their prey. Based on the #1 New York Times best-selling sensation by Stephenie Meyer, Twilight adds a dangerous twist to the classic story of star-crossed lovers.

It's a nice twist on vampires. We get to see their inner struugle with the 'disease' while entangled in a love story. While I am not a big love story fan, as they have to be really good for me to be a fan, I did enjoy watching this BD movie.
While some special effects were executed flawlesly, other seemed more contrived. They were 'over exaggerated' to the point that they were fake in appearance in the movie. The cable work was primarily the culprit.
Overall a good movie that I would sell my friends on. I just hope the others will be better in post-production.
What's great about it: It's a good fantasy lovestory between a teen and a vampire.
What's not so great: Some of the special effects weren't so special.
