i've just got back from the screening and the critics must be out of their minds, and completely blind by what can only be explained by me as prejudice. i can't agree less with the rotten current review average - i found the script to be the strongest aspect about this movie, and one of the best i've heard lately in the sci-fi and drama departments. the story is brilliant by any standard, characters are amazingly developed and relatable. about the effectiveness of the drama i was on the edge of my seat more than one time during the screening, and from different states of emotion - fear, happiness, sadness and more. i almost got to tears in more than one scene and again - on different story lines - some that dealt with family, some with self acceptance and some with finding your place in society. the story's message is so sensitive and humane, i really can not see how can anyone alive crush this amazing movie so much. but it's not the first time i completely disagree with the standard viewpoint about cinema. all i can hope is that stephenie meyer and the likes of her will not be put out by the common viewpoint, i believe there will come a time where she will be rewarded for what she is. till then i can only thank her for what she have accomplished here and elsewhere. my honest recommendation.
