It could have been a great movie, if not for plot holes in it the size of the Pacific Ocean.

Underneath it all the story itself was really cliche and there were holes galore. Despite that, I enjoyed it. The premise was neat, the visuals were amazing and the acting was pretty good.

Interesting concept and an emotional story, but lacking in execution and follow-through. Ultimately, all of the characters serve as a device for showcasing a two-worlds setting, and are not developed beyond regular genre tropes. If you are looking for a cute, fantastic, feel-good romance this movie is for you.

Except the fantastic visuals, there is nothing else to say. Meh

I loved this movie. A sci-fi twist to Romeo 'amp; Juliet. One question, though. According to the logic of the movie, the babies at the end should float. Right? I mean, if two "matters" from both worlds collide they can float on both worlds. But when both "matters" are mixed i.e. make a baby, the baby is a mix between both matters and therefore should float. Right? So, at the end of the movie, when both worlds live together in harmony, and more people from both worlds make babies, then slowly everyone should be able to float and live on both worlds. Right?

Stunning visuals, intriguing premise, nonsensical execution. Upside Down looks gorgeous, but it relies on too much exposition to explain itself, and even then it doesn'#39;t seem to be internally consistent with the rules of its universe.

BEAUTIFULLY shot 'amp; art directed.

futuristic Romeo and Juliet, worth watchin'#39;

the reason why u shouldn't smoke ur own shit before writing a script.. terrible movie.

I wanted to enjoy this, it's visually pretty and I had no issue at all believing the two worlds, but I had a very hard time watching without constantly thinking "why isn't this or that burning?". And what's annoying, is that this part about matter from different worlds burning on prolonged contact doesn't add literally anything(people use it for heating and he gets a burn once) and could have been completely removed to fix almost all the plot holes. [spoiler] Of course, he wouldn't have to miraculously survive 400 meter fall into water [/spoiler] ...a scene utterly ruined by Mythbusters anyways 😁 However, if you're the person whose common sense won't be screaming pretty much immediately, you might also be the person to enjoy this type of story.

The premise is cool, but there'#39;s just a huge problem. The two worlds are shown to be less than a mile apart, and yet the sun and moon get between them and don'#39;t destroy everything? The sun is shown in the background and yet they have full sunlight, that just wouldn'#39;t work. But there are shots where the moon is literally between the two worlds. The physics are straight up broken. The Japanese film _Patema Inverted_ works with some of the same ideas, but it more or less makes sense, at least by the end. This was first; _Patema_ came out a year later. If you like the concept, it'#39;s worth watching (it'#39;s available in English, spoken language. At least that'#39;s the way I watched it).

I'#39;m surprised no one has mentioned the Japanese animated movie **'#39;Patema Inverted'#39;**, released in 2013, being as it has the same premise as this movie does - although I'#39;ve no idea if the connection is more than mere coincidence. Still, it'#39;s worth saying that the animated version was truly wonderful, 'amp; well worth the watch IMHO. Check it out here: https://trakt.tv/movies/patema-inverted-2013

liked the sci-fi - phisics part, but am I the only who got headache? My brain is'#39;nt ready for this :s

Spoilers

The movie is pretty to watch and having Peter Pettigrew in it as the computer scientist guy was fun but the story didn'#39;t hold up to the special effects.

I enjoyed this one. As with most science fiction, I didn’t overthink it. Some people tend to do this and to me it can ruin the experience. It is science FICTION after all…
