The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is a 2010 romantic fantasy film directed by Chris Weitz, based on the novel of the same name by Stephenie Meyer. It is the third installment in the Twilight series and continues the story of Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), and Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner).
The film opens with a series of mysterious murders in Seattle, which are linked to Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard), a vampire seeking revenge for the death of her mate, James. Victoria creates an army of newborn vampires, led by Riley Biers (Xavier Samuel), to help her kill Bella. Meanwhile, Bella grapples with her feelings for both Edward and Jacob, as well as her desire to become a vampire.
As tensions rise, Edward proposes to Bella, but she hesitates due to her fears about marriage and the implications of becoming a vampire. Despite this, she agrees to marry him on the condition that he will turn her into a vampire afterward. The Cullen family realizes they must ally with Jacob and his werewolf pack to combat Victoria's impending attack.
Training sessions ensue as the vampires and werewolves prepare for battle against the newborns. The climax features intense confrontations during which Edward ultimately kills Victoria, but not without losses on both sides. The battle culminates in a moment of introspection for Bella as she reflects on her choices.
In the aftermath, Bella makes her decision clear: she chooses Edward and embraces his way of life, including marriage and eventual transformation into a vampire. The film concludes with Bella informing Jacob of her choice, leading to his heartbroken acceptance.
Eclipse received generally positive reviews from audiences but mixed critiques from critics, who noted its focus on love triangles and character development. It grossed over $699 million worldwide, solidifying its place in the Twilight franchise while exploring themes of love, loyalty, and sacrifice.
