Ruby Red book to movie adaptation

“Rubinrot” is the title of the movie adaptation from the book Ruby Red, which was released in 2013.  The movie has been translated to different languages including English as well as Spanish. The sequel was released in 2014, and the last in the series is expected to be released in 2016.

As the book the movie follows Gwendolyn Shepperd, a regular 16-year-old girl who is tired of her family secrets. She will discover them all the moment she discover she carries a rare gene which allows her to travel back in time. Everyone was expecting her cousin to inherit the gene; however, she was the lucky one. She will have to face the order of the count of St. Germain, who have the mission to complete the chronograph, an instrument which allow the travelers to choose the date to which they will travel.

The movie was actually an entertaining and fun movie, which I enjoyed a lot. It really transmitted the mysterious feeling of the books, giving it a fun tone, which I enjoyed. I think one of the strongest points of the movie is actually the setting as well as the costumes, especially the ones used in the scenes supposed to be in the past. In addition to that the main characters did recall the ones from the books. However, talking about the books, there were several differences between the book and the movie, starting with the fact that in the books the main character Gwendolyn knows about the time traveling, she is not aware she is the one carrying the gene but she knows Charlotte has it. In addition to that in the books Gideon wasn’t that close to Charlotte, when in the movie it appeared as they were a couple.

Therefore, apart from those points all based on the fact that it is supposed to be a movie adaptation, the movie is worth watching. It is interesting, and really entertaining.
