Upside Down (I) (2012)
5/10
Good Visuals and Premise
19 May 2014
I guess I enjoyed the movie to a better degree than most. However inconsistencies in the story brought me back down to Earth. The writer couldn't get the facts straight. Matter heats and burns when brought to the opposite world unless cooled. This fictional "fact" could have been removed to make the script and story much easier to follow.

For example; stamps taken to the other world didn't start heating up like candles. Meanwhile metal bars used for weight (assuming lead) heated up in their world of origin? Did this really matter in the plot? No, it had no bearing on the plot and is the biggest flaw in the story.

The characters were under developed and "evil" corporation scenario is just too cliché. A better division between the realms would have been a conflict or war than the given rich versus poor. No matter what, you always have the rich and the poor.

The movie could have been better with some plot twists. Overall taking out the visuals, you just end up with a poor boy meets rich girl love story, and that has been told at least a thousand times over.
