Being a fan of Sci-Fi movies, I looked at this one hoping to get a new approach of the "time travel" concept hoping for something new and appealing.It appeared that this is a film for teenagers (I am retired) and is focused on the main character (the blue saphir) and all her problems with her boyfriend and her best friend.Honnesty forces me to say that the realization (places, costumes, characters, and the little funny ghost) is very good but the plot is nowhere and no really clear to me. Not to mention that the film ends like crazy without knowing why it stops right there! I assume it is to introduce the next episode.

"Saphirblau" or "Sapphire Blue" is the sequel to the German movie "Rubinrot" from one year earlier and it also runs for roughly 2 hours. Obviously they seem to like titles that consist of a jewel and a color as the third film will be called "Emerald Green". But the real question should be: Why oh why is there a third movie. I do not have a lot of hope this third installment will turn out better unless they completely get rid off the directors and writers who worked on films 1 and 2. These first two films did not have many good moments. There may be some actors in here whose faces are familiar to German audiences, but more for how prolific they are, not for how good they are, such as a certain Veronica Ferres. Maria Ehrich is bearable, not particularly good, but at least not as disastrous as male lead actor Jannis Niewöhner or the actress who plays the main character's best friend. That one is really bad. The name is Jennifer Lotsi and it's so painful to watch how she tries so hard to give a convincing "best friend" performance, but totally has no talent at all.Then again the script doesn't help her at all as it is very flawed from start to finish. The dialogs don't seem credible at all, but the biggest problem is possibly the action. This film wants to be taken seriously so much as a dramatic fantasy film with the time traveling aspect, but the story is just ridiculous. Plus, the characters' actions do not make sense on many occasions. Then they try to get humor in many times, but this isn't working either. And last, but not least, they have many references that make this film look like a coming-of-age love story movie, which is certainly the worst part. Truly cringeworthy. I would not mind at all if there will be no more books or films about Gwendolyn Shepherd. Oh yeah, don't even get me started on the pretentious English and French names and random French talking on several occasions. The worst scene? Probably when they start singing out of nowhere and this film also attempts to be a musical. Massive failure alert. This was a pretty bad viewing experience. If there is any reason to see it, it's maybe the camp factor. Films like this one are actually fairly dangerous as young audiences, especially girls, are not yet able to see what kind of crap they are being exposed to. So every good parent should make sure their kids stay far far away from garbage films like this one. Highly not recommended.

I loved the books by Kirsten Grier and the first movie, so I looked forward to seeing this part. In summary, where the movie followed the book, all was fine and interesting, but I completely hated all the deviations, such as Gwendolin's performance at the party (she was supposed to sing another song) and the reaction of her public - when she stripped off her clothes and everyone started dancing, it was ridiculous! Also, why on Earth would they make her and Gideon have sex?? Did they think it is obligatory for teens? I'm in my mid-twenties, so it's a bit hard for me to comprehend it. And lastly, Maria's contacts were simply disturbing, they were so much better in the first movie (reminds me of Twilight, where the contacts became worse and worse with each movie). All in all, nice movie for teens, but I expected more. Let's hope that third part will be better.

Part One was already bad, but this one punches every paying viewer in the face. The acting is incredibly bad - you'll finally see that most of the actors learned stage acting, not film acting. The script is stupid, the twist non-sense - it has nearly nothing to do with the original book anymore - and it has no real suspense. The few CGI things in it are bad animated and doesn't fit in the picture.It's just a very awful film, that should not be screened in theatres where people have to pay 8-9 euro for entertainment. After watching this you'll find the following phrase in your head: "Well, Twilight wasn't so bad, I guess...".You think Uwe Boll is a bad filmmaker? Let me introduce you to Felix Fuchssteiner.Do never support such productions.
