Viewing Notes
The first half of the film left me praying for death so I wouldn’t have to watch the second half, which, curiously partially redeemed itself. Still, the movie was oddly flat and the voice over thing really drove me nuts. The studio was obviously banking on Stephanie Meyer name recognition to draw people in without actually spending a lot on the budget.
