This movie is based on the first book of the Gems trilogy by Kerstin Gier. I watched it with the unofficial English subtitles (which weren't very good) but I look forward to watching it again when it is dubbed!
It is a thrilling movie, and, even though the fight scenes may not be as impressive as block buster movies, it captures the audience and takes us on a journey through time trying to distinguish who should be trusted. Her time travel companion is Gideon, who is resentful of her at first, because he has spent most of his life training, with Charlotte, for the mission they are about to embark on. But, it turns out that, contrary to all expectations, Gwendolyn is the one who has the gene - a gene that allows her to time travel. Her cousin, Charlotte, supposedly has a gene that makes her special and the family fawn over her. The story is about Gwendolyn who is in her own words "the black sheep" or runt of the family. I really enjoyed this movie! It is the start to the Ruby Red trilogy (books by Kerstin Gier) and it succeeds in wetting one's appetite for the next one - Sapphire Blue. the way the actors speak, act and behave combined with those poor techniques makes me so angry. it may be caused by the story itself, but the task of techniques and effects in movie-making should be used to smoothen failures and to put highlights on strong elements. main character tough but clumsy and by accident spills drinks over lover-boy. main character mistaken for waitress at snobby party. bad acting, as sadly common for German acting. i am German, but i can not stand the way German movies try to copy American stylistic elements and fail miserably or use worn out ones. after 2 shots it was clear: German production. 6 minutes into the movie and i kinda get annoyed. what i want to talk about is the acting, camera, effects etc. I want to skip rating the story because one may like it or not.
