True Cinematic Perfection

Rating: 10/10 (10 December 2012)

Before I begin, I would like to say that I would have given this movie 20 stars out of 10, but alas, the site does not allow for such an extension of gratitude.
There have been many great (in the eyes of others, at least) trilogies and sagas of movies that have come and gone throughout history. Star Wars, Harry Potter, The Godfather, James Bond, Lord of the Rings, and many more. This movie brings an epic closure to arguably the greatest saga of them all, the Twilight saga. No other set of cinematic pictures comes even a shred of a molecule close to rivaling the sheer emotion, drama, suspense, action and, dare I say it, perfection, that Twilight has brought to many fans worldwide. What began as an interesting and unique alternative interpretation of vampires and werewolves (the sparkling of the vampires is the most imaginative character trait I have EVER seen) has ended in a message of love, unity and closeness, no matter how thick the lines of division are between one another. It truly shows that no matter how different we are, we can coexist, and we should. The love shared between Edward and Bella knows no boundaries, and when you have something like that, nothing can break it. There is even a friendship blooming between Edward and Jacob, once bitter enemies. It shows that we don't always have to hold such disdain amongst one another.
The acting in this movie was superb, and executed perfectly, better than anything I have ever witnessed in any other movie in history. The dialogue must have been fashioned by the hands of literary Gods, because it was that compelling. Robert Pattinson does an amazing job at portraying a soul who can't help but love, even if the stereotypes and traditions pushed unto his kind do not allow for it. Taylor Lautner has done an extraordinary job showing us all that no matter what hardships you face, such as when Bella chose to be with Edward instead of him, it is not the end of the world, and something better can come from it. And, of course, the MVP of the movie, Kristen Stewart. Screw Meryl Streep, forget Katharine Hepburn, Kristen Stewart puts all female actresses before her to utter shame! It's almost as if when I am watching her portray Bella, I can FEEL her. It's like I've known her all of my life! She was truly meant to play this role, and she does a simply impeccable job bringing the emotion of Bella's character to the big screen.
The CGI in this movie was top notch! I didn't even know until after the movie ended that the scenes with Renesmee as a baby were computer generated! She looked so REAL and believable! Not creepy in the slightest. I wanted to reach out and hug her! This is just a reminder of how truly developed our technology has become, and how photo-realistic and lifelike computer generated imagery is.
The story was Shakespearean, never a dull moment. The best scene was at the end. One of the best action/fight scenes I have ever seen in a movie, with an intriguing twist at the end which I feel is the best possible direction the directors could take it. It truly conveys a message of peace, and that fighting doesn't solve anything! All in all, this movie was a more-than-fitting end to the best movie saga of all time. I can only hope that they decide to extend it further in the future! Tales of the Twilight Saga will be passed down through generations, much like the works of "art" before them.
