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.

Absent any emotional grounding, the film is a gorgeous, sterile construction, like a dream city unoccupied by humans.

Simply put, this is one of the craziest films to come along in a while and I can confidently say that anyone who sees it will either hail it is some kind of crackpot masterpiece or dismiss it as one of the silliest damn things they've ever seen.

It doesn't really develop its story, or its themes. It doesn't truly draw out its characters. It evokes no serious emotions. It has - in the end - no gravity.

Audience Reviews for Upside Down

Dec 02, 2015Pretty interesting. I love the mind-bending fantasy aspects of this film. They're so cool. The story is cool too, but the acting is where this is kind of meh. Jim Sturgess is not particularly good, and Kirsten Dunst is pretty shitty, as always. Could've been way better with a different cast.Stephen S Super Reviewer

Oct 08, 2015Upside Down is, more-or-less, a teenage magical romance-adventure. Many of the negative reviews are correct but downrate the film too harshly. The premise and world are interesting and visually the film is pretty decent. I can imagine myself being impressed in my middle school/high school years. Upside Down I rate a cut below a film like Tron Legacy (similar genre/audience but done better) but not worse than your average Hollywood movie.Robert B Super Reviewer

Aug 24, 2015Very pretty, but sorely lacking in substance and logic.Marcus W Super Reviewer

Dec 19, 2014It has dazzling visuals (despite the director's obsession with lens flares and a CGI that looks a bit artificial) and an idea that is pretty original and intriguing, but it suffers from some glaring lack of internal plausibility and a naive ending that is too silly in its romantic optimism.Carlos M Super Reviewer
