Gwendolyn Shepherd is actually a very normal 16-year-old teen. What's annoying is that her family definitely has a tad too many secrets. They all have to do with the time-travel gene that is passed down in the family. Everyone is certain that Gwen's cousin Charlotte has the gene, and so everything is all Charlotte, all the time. Until the day Gwen, out of the clear blue sky, suddenly finds herself in London at the end of the 19th century. She knows right away that she, and not Charlotte, was born to be a time traveler - even if she could certainly do without it. Just as she could do without Charlotte's arrogant boyfriend Gideon de Villiers, with whom she now has to forge an alliance in order to clear up the biggest secret of her family history. One thing is clear: she will do everything possible to solve the ancient mysteries. What isn't clear is that one should not fall in love between the times. For that really makes things complicated!

Rubinrot (2013) Reviews
Ruby Red is a very unique movie, if you are a fan of twilight, hunger games and host
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.
meh
i want to skip rating the story because one may like it or not. what i want to talk about is the acting, camera, effects etc. i didn't know anything about the movie. just saw an ad and went to watch it. 6 minutes into the movie and i kinda get annoyed. after 2 shots it was clear: German production. and i can't stand German productions. 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. 6 minutes into the movie. bad acting, as sadly common for German acting. slow-motion-lover-boy appearance. main character mistaken for waitress at snobby party. main character tough but clumsy and by accident spills drinks over lover-boy. stereotypes all the way. 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. it totally failed in doing so. the way the actors speak, act and behave combined with those poor techniques makes me so angry. and i am only 6 minutes into the movie.
Great first part to the trilogy
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 story is about Gwendolyn who is in her own words "the black sheep" or runt of the family. Her cousin, Charlotte, supposedly has a gene that makes her special and the family fawn over her. 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 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. 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. 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 started with promise...
...but this movie was a bit senseless with a jumbled plot (if you want to call it a plot) that wore very thin towards the end. Intriguing beginning to a story that ends up dropping off in an abrupt non-ending. Perhaps it was meant to have a sequel but I can't imagine anyone wanting to invest any more money in this poorly scripted, dully acted confusion of ideas. The costumes were nice, special FX decent but the cliché teenage angst was a turn off and pretty silly. There were just too many things going on that were never explained completely or resolved. Certain scenes seemed to be set up for what could have been interesting outcomes but then just evaporated without further explanation. The characters were all pretty dull and 2 dimensional. I doubt that even A- list actors could have added any life to them. I'm glad I didn't actually pay to see this movie but if you are really bored some evening it might keep you amused.
the attack of the time-traveling young adults
Rubinrot is a decent movie. in these times when there is a huge focus on young adults in books and movies, it is easy to label it as 'yet another young adult story' and ignore it, but lets not forget that 'YA' is just another label for 'teen', and there have been teen-oriented movies as long as there has been cinema, so its not so bad to spend some time on one more. so we have quite a mess with mysticism, super powers, conspiracy on one hand, and of course a cast-off schoolgirl, with her own teen problems on the other. a handsome young adult male is also in the mix, of course. and so is a change of hearts, friendship and deceit, and, yes - romance. the movie is quite watchable if you ignore the simplicity of the story. some more jokes would've been nice. acting is quite bad, but luckily - not horrible. overall, recommended for teens - i wonder if another YA trilogy is on its way, not of much scale and ambition, but why not jump for some time-travel fun...
