''Eclipse'' Blu-ray Review by Blu-Ray.com
The film adaptations of the Twilight literary saga penned by Stephenie Meyer, while not too well-received by the members of this forum, have been a huge hit both in theaters and home video. Next up is The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which comes out on a a special-edition Blu-ray flipper combo on December 4, and Blu-ray.com has the Twilight Saga: Eclipse Blu-ray review.
Staff reviewer Martin Liebman considers that under the "hype and hoopla" of the saga lies an interesting premise in the relationship between the vampire Edward and the human Bella. However, the movie is "far too bloated," and inspired moments are drowned out by "laborious stretches that reduce the movie from 'good' to merely 'passable."
The audio/video presentation is top-notch. The picture is film-like, and makes the film "almost worth watching for the transfer alone." Likewise, the movie's lossless DTS track "is perfectly balanced and always satisfying."
In the extras department, the major features are two commentaries (with the one featuring author Stephenie Meyer getting the upper hand), and an hour-and-a-half making-of documentary.
In his conclusion, Marty considers that Twilight is "a good series and a (so far) decent collection of movies that get a bad rap because of mass overexposure and limitless hype." As to Eclipse, he ventures that "many might be surprised" that it is actually a fair movie "that's more than two hours of a shirtless Taylor Lautner and a hunky Robert Pattinson gazing out towards a googly-eyed audience." Overall, it is a quality release, recommended to fans, "as if there were all that many fence-sitters to begin with.
