   The teen vampire series finally hits its stride with an entertaining
mix of romance and action fantasy.
   It took three films, but “The Twilight Saga” finally nails just
the right tone in “Eclipse,” a film that neatly balances the
teenage operatic passions from Stephenie Meyer’s novels with the
movies’ supernatural trappings.
   Where the first film leaned heavily on camp and the second faltered
through caution and slickness, “Eclipse” moves confidently into the
heart of the matter — a love triangle that causes a young woman to
realize choices lead to consequences that cannot be reversed.
   With the momentum of a movie series that sees installments arriving
like clockwork every year, “Eclipse” looks primed to be the most
successful film yet in Summit Entertainment’s franchise. The action
is pretty much relegated to the climax, but it’s nifty enough that
young men may get into the series too even if “Eclipse” isn’t
their first choice on a Friday night.
   The film starts a little slowly with its classic reintroduction of
its main characters, her0ine Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), more
determined than ever to go vampire for her undead boyfriend; the
gloomy dreamboat Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), an ancient being
who still hasn’t graduated high school; and Jacob Black (Taylor
Lautner), a perennially bare-chested Native American who shape-shifts
into a wolf at a moment’s notice.
   Even here the film doesn’t mind kidding itself. Edward takes one
look at Jacob and complains to Bella, “Doesn’t he own a shirt?”
The script by Melissa Rosenberg offers a few more opportunities like
this that wink at its own silliness.
   Things pick up rapidly once intros are done, with the ramifications
of the girl/vampire/werewolf triangle becoming increasingly intense
for all parties while an outside threat looms over them all.
   A crime wave has hit Seattle, a few leagues from the bucolic
Washington town that shelters so many supernatural creatures
apparently without any townspeople catching on. A series of vicious
killings and disappearances tip off the Cullen clan that a vampire is
creating an army of newborns — newly turned vampires whose ravenous
thirst makes them stronger and more deadly than “old” vampires.
   This army recruiter is red-headed Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard,
the epitome of sensual, feline cunning), who, in seeking revenge
against the Cullens and Edward in particular, means to destroy Bella.
Which causes Edward and Jacob to contemplate the unthinkable, a
temporary alliance to protect the girl they both love.
   It’s like the uneasy partnership between lawman Wyatt Earp and


outlaw Doc Holliday against the Clanton clan at the O.K. Corral in
“My Darling Clementine.” Well, why not a Western? “The Twilight
Saga” already mixes together high school melodrama, outsider fiction
and teen romance into a mishmash of sci-fi and horror genres.
   Since Rosenberg’s writing has never been the problem in the series, much of the credit for the success of “Eclipse” probably belongs
to the series’ third director, David Slade (“Hard Candy,” “30
Days of Night”). He quickly establishes a rapid yet unhurried
pace, a willingness to let tongue perch in cheek and an unapologetic
indulgence in this basic fantasy of every teenage girl — that two
high school hunks are in love with her and willing to die for her,
except, of course, that one is already undead.
   The three leads shine under his direction. Stewart anchors
everything with a finely tuned if not slightly underplayed
performance that catches her character in moments of doubt about the
course and the man she has chosen. Pattinson makes you forget the
white makeup and weird eye contact lenses to concentrate on a person
torn over his love for a woman and the sacrifice he knows she will
have to make to stay with him.
   But it’s Lautner who nearly steals the movie with his ripped
muscle and steely acting. He definitely has the “it” factor
Hollywood always looks for.
   The high school scenes and those between Bella and her police chief
dad (Billy Burke) are quick and light and doubly effective for not
dawdling. The series’ more peripheral characters are coming into
better focus as well. The film delivers backstories for both Jasper
(Jackson Rathbone) and Rosalie (Nikki Reed) of the Cullen family as
well as the origins of Jacob’s family, the wolf pack, without any of
these flashbacks seeming like intrusions.
   Speaking of the wolf pack, the CG wolves, huge creatures whose
ferocity fails to mask their tenderness, are very cool, and the fight
at the climax among wolves, vampires and one poor human is no
letdown. It delivers the goods without overstaying its welcome, which
is more than can be said about most CG movie fights.
   Production values are aces with DP Javier Aguirresarobe and
production designer Paul Denham Austerberry very much taking
advantage of the dark, woodsy and utterly beguiling beauty of British
Columbia.
