The library has labeled this as drama, not sci fi. But as sci fi goes, though I am not a big fan, this movie is lacking in every way possible - including talent. Nonsensical. Couldn't get past he first half hour.

. Silly and nonsensical premise. The visuals wear off after about 15 minutes and grow increasingly annoying from there. .

Written and directed by Juan Diego Solanas in 2012, this Canadian-French romantic fantasy depicts a love-story in a twin-world with "dual gravity" of otherworldly planetary system of an unknown gallaxy. You definitely need a willing…

Great concept and lovely visuals, but the story suffers from poor implementation.

What an excellent movie! I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you're like me, and into cute love stories, you will enjoy this as much as I did!

Original and entertaining, however you must ignore science!

A very unusual film, and the strangest premise for a sci-fi story, ever. There are a few properties of this bizarre world that just don't add up, but if you let yourself get into the story, they don't matter. This is what sci-fi is…

If you like this concept, go watch the anime "Patema Inverted" It's sooo much better! (Visuals, acting, fully-fleshed out storyline, less plot holes, more believable relationships, etc!)

Interesting movie concept. This film is a love story set in a place where there are two worlds separated by a gravitation divide. Keeping track of which world you are on is the challenge- as things that appear to be upside down could be…

A very interesting premise, good acting, amazing visuals but overall a so so story. Nothing special here or worthwhile. Skip it.

A visually stunning film, but that's about the only redeeming quality of this movie. Mediocre acting and a contrived storyline with many, many plotholes. Had alot of potential but failed in the long-run.

Visually stunning! The atmosphere of this film was Incredible--including the saturated deep blue tones in the lighting!! It was an off-beat plot device having the 'two planets intertwined by laws of gravity,' but somehow I found it to be…

This movie, while looking like it could have been good, a love story, two different worlds, forbidden love, is a dud. When they meet again and she starts to remember him, they instantly start to make out, and then she's all of a sudden…

Strong visual impact, mystified by fable. Quite a good looking film, but it drags in places. There are some deeper messages in the story on a number of levels about society and love, but I can't quite put my finger on them.

It was really good technically ...but it was up-side-down....I don't do "upside - down" well - so it was unsettling.

Above average sci-fi romantic drama. Beautiful backdrops and a well thought out dystopian alternate reality setting are the interest here. The romantic angle is played out Romeo and Juliet-ish. Watchable if you need to see a romantic movie…

There were some interesting visuals- the upside down tango room, for instance- but overall this was not a good movie. I think a big part of the problem was that it was presented as more of a sci-fi movie, but played as fantasy. That…

The setting and plot of Upside Down are very imaginative and romantic. The film is infused with dazzling surreal imagery. However, there is something lacking in the pace, and the character development. Some inconsistencies in the…

Skip It - made no sense at all and for the most part, I found myself looking for the holes in the "science" rather than watching the plot unfold; which in and of itself is better done else where without the distraction.

I I would have to agree with jesking's comment on this movie. Narrative is long and boring at the beginning but an interesting movie.

Dreadful in every way imaginable. The basic premise is absolutely absurd. A forgettable movie (I hope.)

Narration at beginning and end is horrid. Movie is interesting - beautiful to watch. Ends like a Harlequin Romance -- so disappointing! The idea could have gone anywhere. It felt like they were pressured to close the loop too quick. :(
