Before long there’s strife, less friendly vampires come to town and Edward must protect Bella from becoming someone else’s meal. That’s not really the point of this movie though. It’s not an action flick or a vampire horror movie so much as a brooding romance film. When it does attempt action the pic’s limited special effects budget isn’t up to it, and they’re forced to find ways around doing anything too ambitious. The movie’s best scenes instead, seem to happen when Bella and Edward are simply hanging out with his pale, vampiric clan. A vampire baseball game provides something of interest, and getting a feel for how the Cullen’s survive undiscovered yet out in the open is worth your time.
