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.

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.

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.
