To be honest, I wasn't expecting this movie to be a hit or anything like the book for that matter. But to my surprise, i found the movie quiet entertaining and exciting, both at the same time. Of course I read the book first so obviously I knew the plot story very well, so I didn't really expect to see anything new, as most of the movies which are adapted from books usually don't change anything about it thinking they will hurt the fans' feelings. But sometimes following everything as the book says, gets a little boring, don't you think? I mean really, when it comes to a movie which has been adapted from a book, it usually sucks. Either they don't follow the story well or they follow the story too much. But Rubinrot was simply amazing, if you ask me. They followed the main story but also changed bits and parts of the theme which adds a new, rather exciting, turn for the next movie of course. Also the way they captured Gideon and Gwendolyn's relationship is actually better than the book version if you ask me. Even though I watched the English dubbed version of the movie, I enjoyed it all the way. Looking forward to watch the next movie in the line which has been released this year. But the problem is, as i don't know the German language , I'll have to wait for the English dubbed version to come out.

All I can say is WOW! Okay so unless I'm in a reading mood I usually can't watch subtitled one's even though I love them!. A year ago when I start to read in puts me to sleep within 10 minutes. Also I'm one of those when I watch a movie I like to do several things at once, like work, cook and etc.. So this movie took me over 3 hrs to finish because I had to pause to wake myself up or get stuff. Needless to say, I LOVED IT!!! I always surf this one site for new movies I haven't seen since netflix is behind the times, then I IMDb to see what it's about. This movie was so adventurous, with a little teen love that's innocent and clean and perfect series of books for my girls to read. I love the story line and love how the odd girl out is the special one, some say it may be cliché, but then again aren't most movies that we love labeled that. It's cute and sweet and a little mystery behind it, but more so an adventure in and of time itself, with lingering romance and stories that enter twine. You can check t out on Viooz where it has a lot of good movies.

I read the books in German and I kinda liked them - even as they might be a kind of "teenage girl books". As in "BOOKS" - there are three. So of course this movie does not complete the plot. The movie entertained me, but there where some things I did not "like"... the house they live in is as big as having room for a ball room... can't see any in the book, but that might have just been a problem to find such a locationthe way Charlotte is talking (german version)... she is WAY too arrogant (even tho she is described arrogant in the book, she doesn't seem to be that snobby).the actress of Gwendolyn's aunt Maddy is just horrid... she acts way too... acted - that might be, because she is played by a way too young looking person dressed up as old lady (even tho K.Thalbach is 59)can not recall her best friend Leslie being black but I might have overread that and I actually do not care... Gwenny herself is an average girl according to the book... no vamp - the movie made her look like a beautiful rebelLady Arisa on the other hand appears way to "soft" - according to the book she is very stricther first time jump did not attract that much attention in the book... Storyline text: Gideon is not Charlottes boyfriend, he is just a friend and fellow timetravelerAnd I could go on and on and on... The movie is quite entertaining, IF you did not read the books at all. If you did, it is far away from what Gier wrote. Conclusion: The casting is bad, the actors are mediocre and the movie full of mistakes. The books are great and the movie could be too, but sadly isn't. tldr: Read the books, avoid the movie.

Even though the story line in the movie does not really follow the one in the book, it is still quite nice. Most of the characters match the description in the book. Hope they will make the second and the third parts in the future. I am actually very surprised that it is not as well known as twilight, hunger games and host because it could be easily compared with the movies listed. You definitely have to watch it and read the books. The story is very unique and interesting. I loved it! After watching this movie, I read all of the three books Ruby Red, Emerald Green and Blue Safire. After starting reading it, you wont be able to stop.
