Memorable, crazy movie

Don't Believe the Hype

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Don't confuse this as anything else than it actually is. This is aimed at teenagers. Which means it's simple, as simple as it gets. It is nice to see a genre movie coming out of Germany, even if it is aimed at a younger audience and a female crowd at that (fantasy themed movies/books seem to have a huge female fan base in Germany). It's a nice touch to see strong female characters though (even if you can't relate to all their troubles and stipulations.This movie is a "how it all begins". I haven't read the books this is based on and they probably have a wider reach, more character development and all that, but I can't comment on that. I can only say, that the movie at hand is well made and has some fine moments, even when filled with clichéd action.

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.

When I first saw this movie and wrote my first review I didn't know anything about it being a trilogy. My first thoughts were: I really liked this movie, but I left that too many things were left unsolved. now I know better, I know why. So this is my revised review. I did feel then that it was destined for a second part, now I know that its for two more parts. I like that.The plot was intriguing from the start with so many unknowns involving RUBI; and perhaps it was also counter-producing since there was so much to deal with and at the end was left unresolved. I have not read the book, but now I will do, all three of them.I really thought the way the plot developed about of one girl being prepared while the true one is another as very freshening, and even funny.However, at the end I felt kind of empty for having too many unknowns left. I mean for instance, her ability to see ghosts, something that was not addressed or solved in the movie. Also, there is the part about her friend being spied on and her data on their desk. There is also the most important part, why her cousin and husband stole the first machine. And of course, lets not forget the prophesy. Well, just to name few of the mysteries unsolved.I am not sure if the books ends like that. The last time I felt this was Harry Potter and the Deathly Relics-part 1, but then, I have already read the book and I knew that it was only half the story.I will be waiting for the rest of the trilogy. I sure hope they don't run out of money before finishing it.

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.
