Rating: After the "finally married," here we are at the "finally a vampire."
The Twilight saga left us on the edge of our seats regarding the fates of its beautiful and damned protagonists, caught in a heartbreaking triangle, where poor Jacob seems about to pay the price of his fatal infatuation with Bella, who in turn has eyes only for the vampire Edward.
Overlooking the why or how multi-century-old vampires still feel overwhelming passions, the previous chapter progressed by shifting the spotlight to the protagonist Bella, dazed by a terrifying pregnancy of we-don't-know-what-kind of demon on her honeymoon but eager enough to sacrifice herself to bring it to light; revealing it then as a baby girl.
And it is here that the concluding chapter of the saga ("sigh!" or "hallelujah," take your pick) picks up the story from the previous; and it starts with a bang, as we find Bella fully restored thanks to her transition to the world of the dead, freely roaming the forest with Edward to quench her thirst for blood and trying to tame her strength, even risking biting Bambi in the process.
The supernatural movements integrate beautifully with the images and the fine photography, the peculiar faces of the vampires, friends of the couple, and the notes of classical music, in a formally impeccable collage that captures the eye with panoramic views of snowy woodland scenarios and a secluded cottage within them, almost abstract at times, viewed in broad depth of field to then leap to details emphasizing the visual powers Bella has acquired from transforming into a crimson-eyed vampire.
Regarding the story, the two protagonists will face the order of vampires marching to kill them due to their daughter being deemed immortal and dangerous. Definitely not the peak of originality, however, the long-anticipated battle with its very uncertain outcome due to the various beings with different powers at play does not spoil the ending, which remains unpredictable.
