Upside Down
2012 · 1h 44m · Romance, Science Fiction, Drama, Fantasy
The premise is genuinely inventive and the visuals are undeniably pretty, but the critics aren't wrong—this one gets bogged down in its own mythology when it should just let the romance soar. Skip it unless you're a die-hard Jim Carrey fan with nothing else to watch.
Plot
In an alternate universe where twinned worlds have opposite gravities, a young man battles interplanetary prejudice and the laws of physics in his quest to reunite with the long-lost girl of his dreams in this visually stunning romantic adventure that poses the question: what if love was stronger than gravity?
