Critics Consensus

In spite of its wonderfully unusual premise and talented cast, Upside Down fails to offer much in the way of compelling drama to anchor its admittedly dazzling visuals.

The problem is that the physics here are patently ridiculous, and there is likewise no viable chemistry between stars Jim Sturgess and Kirsten Dunst.

Soon enough the worlds of Up Top and Down Below feel like distractions, CGI Potemkin villages.

A Romeo and Juliet story for the age of CGI overkill, Upside Down zigs where it should zag and dulls where it should dazzle.

One of the most original, creative and technically accomplished films of our time, Upside Down is a pure delight.

Unfortunately, there's absolutely no character development, tossing a poorly realized and mundane love story at us that's furthered only by its nicely varnished visuals.

You've never seen a couple so bathed in light and aglow with love and its accompanying optimism.

This movie is excellent. New. Innovative with a new take on star crossed lovers. I found it interesting and refreshing. The main stars were compelling and completely believable. I don’t care if "the physics is wrong" that’s not the point. This is about right and wrong. It’s about justice and injustice. If there’s is one thing wrong with this story it’s that it wasn’t a trilogy.

The only thing I'm awarding points for is the amount of effort that went into the visuals. I wish the same amount of effort went into the actual story.

Upside Down is magnificently beautiful, the ideas were interesting, but which didn't quite show its true potential. I was fascinated by the visuals even though I thought the storyline was contrived and unoriginal.

It started out *strong* and then Just. Got. Boring. It was hard to really care about any of the characters. Too bad, it was an interesting idea, but writers in Hollywood just couldn't carry it past the first 15 minutes.

This is 12 years old and I’ve only just heard of it and it definitely seems like I wasn’t missing out on anything. What a boring and pointless film. The science is confusing about being upside down and the story is very slow and just irritatingly boring.i love Kirsten dunst so kept the full film on but couldn’t keep concentrated as nothing was happening. I don’t even know what happened in the film,2 people want to be together and end up being together,with very little happening inbetween. Avoid at all costs
