The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2
Short description
Bella Swan has completed her transformation into a vampire and is adjusting to her new existence as a wife and mother. When the Volturi learn of her daughter Renesmee, they believe the Cullens have violated an ancient vampire law against turning children, since an immortal child would be unable to keep the secret of the vampires' existence. A false report about the girl's nature reaches the Volturi, who gather their forces and march toward Forks. To defend themselves, the Cullens seek out allied vampire clans from around the world and prepare to face the threat together.
The film is the fifth entry in the Twilight series and the second half of the adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's novel Breaking Dawn. Bill Condon, who also directed the previous instalment, returns as director and shares screenplay credit with Melissa Rosenberg.

On Rotten Tomatoes, critics' average score of 5.3 out of 10 from 198 reviews sits below the audience figures.
What's left behind the scenes
- It was previously stated that Alice cannot see parts of the possible future that involve werewolves. In this film, she sees such a future in detail.
- The film is based on Stephanie Meyer's novel "Breaking Dawn" (2008) from the "Twilight" series.
- Bella's eye color was brown when she arrived for her meeting with Mr. Jenks. But it was light in the car previously. And after the trip to Mr. Jenks, her eye color returns to being light.
- The film was shot concurrently with "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1" (2011). Filming began on November 1, 2010, and wrapped on April 15, 2011. Locations included Baton Rouge (Louisiana) and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), as well as Vancouver (Canada).
- During the filming of both parts of the film, Mackenzie Foy had a swear jar where other actors would put money if they swore in her presence. Bill Condon made the jar for her, and all the collected funds were donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
- When Bella is driving on the highway back from Seattle, the speed limiter shows 80 km/h. In the US, miles per hour are used on speedometers, not kilometers.
- During filming, both an animatronic baby and real three-week-old infants were used. Kristen Stewart preferred working with the real babies because she felt they helped her perform her role better.
