Sapphire Blue (2014)

To me, this movie is perfection.

the audience applauded

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

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.

If you have seen the first one (or read the books, haven't done the latter myself), you are already hooked. Still there is a "review" of sorts, with our main female protagonist "remembering" what happened up to the point we catch up to her. Obviously relationships have evolved and things go to the next level (also literally). The physics of time travel are sketchy and there are many secrets (especially for those who haven't read the book I reckon), but this is aimed at a younger audience and the viewer should know that.It's made clear after all from the beginning (in case you hadn't seen the first one "Rubinrot"). There are things that teenage girls have to deal with and those issues collide with the whole "saving the world or whatever" plot that is going on. You might not be intrigued by all that, but the audience this is aimed at, should be delighted.

The film has the perfect ingredients for a nice young adult movie: magic, fantasy, well renowned German cast, excellent soundtrack, good storyline and romance. We have seen it with other trilogies, it is not always easy to write the middle part in a trilogy but in my opinion it was successful, the film had a good pace and fans of the books will be delighted to see the story come alive on the big screen. The differences to the book are small and do not affect the story.It is above all a movie for teenagers with a small budget but the producers have outdone themselves in my opinion and the movie is well worth watching.

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.
