Eclipse, the light, the dark

A very action-packed Twilight saga was the one I saw via its third installment entitled Eclipse. This modern love story of teenager Bella once again challenged with a ravage and danger caused by the 'newly-born' vampires. As this happens, Bella is cornered in an undesired position that will uncomfortably made her choose to either her boyfriend Edward or her best friend Jacob. Another conflict that envelops the whole story was the freaky tension between vampires and werewolves.

The dark. Eclipse delivered action scenes very well. The visuals were very impressive compared to Twilight and New Moon. Although, there are harsh approaches on fight scenes, what you can exactly notice is the details of every battle. Somehow, as what everyone observes also, this movie is quite meatier, edgier and darker. The cast, of course, helped a lot to make it more realistic. All scenes can make you fall from your seat a couple of times. Everything seems strong; from hues, scenes, actors and the delivery. New characters made the story juicier. There are also flashback of where Jasper and Rosalie came from. Dakota Fanning is really a revelation, making the dark vampires even darker. Bryce Dallas Howard did a great job and very fascinating as Victoria.

The light. Eclipse explores the fun and excitement of being in-love. The love triangle among Bella, Edward and Jacob is somehow very realistic. They never failed to tickle the romantic side of the audience especially during the tent scene as both Jacob and Edward had to be in teams to protect Bella. Jacob flaunts his 'hotness' as always. Edward reveals how 'traditional' he is when handling a relationship. Bella captures confusion with different levels of love she feels for both of them.

Eclipse has all to offer; action, suspense, comedy and romance. Just like Twilight and New Moon, a worth-to- watch film deserves a huge commendation.
