A Summary of New Moon The Movie
New Moon picks up where the Twilight movie left off. It’s Bella’s birthday, and much to her chagrin, both her dad and her absentee mother have gone out and bought gifts that she had told them not to. Not only that, but the whole Cullen clan decide to throw her this elaborate birthday party with much too expensive gifts, and, the best surprise gift of all, almost getting killed. Danger prone Bella cuts her finger on the wrapping paper, causing it to bleed, and igniting the blood lust in Jasper. While his siblings calm Jasper and stop him from killing Bella, Carlisle tends to Bella’s arm, which she cut when she fell.
Fast forward a couple of days and it finds Edward telling Bella that the clan is leaving because it’s much too dangerous for them to be there. Edward walks away, Bella lays down on the ground and basically waits for death to come. Death doesn’t come but Sam, one of the guys from La Push, finds her and brings her home.
After finding out that Edward and the other Cullens are gone for good, Bella falls into a deep depression. She simply exists and her father decides it’s time to send her back to her mother. That snaps her out of it, and after an experience with a biker guy she finds that she can actually see and hear(or so she thinks) Edward when she’s in danger, she decides that she needs to start being adventurous so that she can see the love of her life all the time.
So during the next few months, Bella has a really full schedule. She reignites her relationship with Jacob and stands by his side while he rebuilds a couple of motorcycles that were destined for the junkyard, she learns to ride one of them, and finds out that not only are there vampires in the area but there are also werewolves. In fact, her friend Jacob, who is looking better and better now that Edward isn’t here, is one. She also discovers that there is a vampire who is seriously ticked off and wants her dead because Edward killed mate. Since Edward is stuck on Bella, Victoria figures its only fair that she get to kill Bella. Laurent, who is also a part of Victoria’s clan, almost finishes her off but the werewolves from La Push do him in first.
While the wolves are out tracking down Victoria, Bella decides she wants to see her love again and decides that cliff diving is the way to do it. She takes a flying leap off the cliff, almost drowns but Jacob rescues her, and everything should be fine.
But thanks to another person’s death, a ill timed phone call, and a mixed up message that got to the wrong person, Edward is under the impression that Bella is dead and decides to do the only sensible thing – head for Italy to royally tick off the Volturi, a group of vampires that stick to the old ways and don’t want any human to know they exist.
Alice comes to find Bella, they race to Italy in time to stop Edward from making a serious mistake, and the Volturi let them go on the condition that Bella is made a vampire.
This Twilight movie was much better than the first Twilight movie in my opinion. The CGI effects were great, as was the action and the horror. By now you can probably watch the movie at one of those dollar theaters which is a good deal since movies are so expensive!
