I'll start with the positives. I was impressed with Rob Pattinson's solid performance as Tyler, the rebellious young hero. I didn't see any sign of Edward the vampire in this performance, although the main reason I went to see this movie was because of Rob. I was also impressed by Emilie de Ravin's performance as Ally. The two romantic leads were nicely matched, and they showed a natural chemistry together. I thought the supporting characters were well-acted, too.
Now that I've had a day to think about this movie, and to get past my strong initial reaction to it, I'd have to say that I don't recommend seeing it in the theater. (Sorry, Rob and Twilight fans.) If you'd like to read more of my review, there will be spoilers ahead, but I'll try to keep them to a minimum, which is hard to do, because of the movie's ending.
