action
At the beginning of the film, the mortal Bella marries the vampire Edward. At the party there is a heated argument between Edward and the werewolf Jacob after he is the last to find out that Bella will still be sleeping with her husband as a human. After the party, Edward and Bella set off on their honeymoon on an island near the coast of Rio de Janeiro . Despite the risk of seriously injuring or even killing Bella, the two sleep together the first night. Shortly thereafter, Bella discovers that she is pregnant. However, despite the early stage, movements of the fetus can already be felt. The two leave immediately and Edward plans to abort the fetus with Carlisle's help. Bella now feels a connection with the baby and turns to Rosalie for help.
Jacob learns from Charlie that Bella has become ill on her honeymoon and therefore cannot return home with Edward yet. From this he concludes that she is now a vampire and drives furiously to the house of the Cullens. There he meets the already heavily pregnant Bella, who was able to prevent the abortion under Rosalie's protection. However, the fetus does not match Bella's human body, so it inflicts serious injuries on her from within. He also prevents Bella from being able to take in food, which is why both of them become noticeably weaker. Even so, Bella refuses to be persuaded by Jacob to end the life-threatening pregnancy. She takes the risk of dying for the life of the baby if Edward doesn't manage to turn her into a vampire in time. When the wolf pack around Sam learns of Bella's situation, they plan to kill the baby and thus Bella too. Jacob opposes this decision and leaves the pack. He warns the Cullens and prevents the planned surprise attack. The siblings Leah and Seth now join Jacob's own pack.
Meanwhile, Bella's condition is rapidly deteriorating. With a thought from Jacob, the Cullens figure out how to help Bella. Since they suspect the fetus is more vampire than human, they give Bella human blood to drink to quench the baby's thirst. The experiment succeeds and Bella recovers. This also makes the fetus stronger. While Carlisle, Emmett, and Esme are on the hunt, Bella's placenta becomes detached and labor is initiated. The remaining Cullens and Jacob have to deliver the baby by caesarean section alone. After Edward succeeds in delivering a healthy girl whom they call Renesmee, he bites Bella, who now threatens to die from her injuries. With the help of his poison and life support measures, Edward can get Bella's heart beating again, causing the transformation to begin. Jacob, who no longer believes in Bella's rescue, tries to kill Renesmee in revenge. Before he can put his plan into action, he is “imprinted” on it. This creates an inseparable emotional connection between him and her that will last a lifetime. Since Sam's pack assumes that Bella has died, it wants to attack the Cullens who remain in the house. However, the fact that Jacob was imprinted on the baby forces them to withdraw. According to the supreme law of the Quileute, whoever is imprinted with a werewolf must not be harmed.
The final scenes of the film show how Bella is healed of her injuries and her body, emaciated by pregnancy, is restored in the course of her transformation by the vampire poison. When her heart stops completely and she no longer breathes, she opens her now red shining eyes as a newborn vampire.
In a post-credit scene , the Volturi learn about Bella's transformation. Aro notes that this does not mean the end of the dispute as it involves much more than just one person. On the contrary, the Cullens have something he wants.

Reviews
"The newest and best of the films about a girl, her vampire and her impossible, ridiculously appealing - yes, I surrendered - love story."
“The“ Twilight Saga ”did not mature together with its heroine. In fact, the latest film is more of a step backwards and provides more filler, less feel and worse CGI effects than "Eclipse" last year. "
"In any case, the last 20 minutes of Breaking Dawn are so harrowing that it is possible to forget that most of the actors are acting like in a soap opera and the dialogue is plagued by hunger."
Financial success
Despite the bad reviews, the film achieved excellent box office results, with a budget of 127.5 million US dollars, the film grossed over 700 million US dollars by early March 2012. On the opening weekend in Germany alone, 1.05 million visitors saw the film, making it the third most successful film release in 2011.
