Critics Consensus

In spite of its wonderfully unusual premise and talented cast, Upside Down fails to offer much in the way of compelling drama to anchor its admittedly dazzling visuals.

This movie is terrible. I had to watch it for a class and it was genuinely painful to sit through and made me never want to watch movies again. Incredibly corny with terrible physics and Incredibly bad acting. I would rate this 0 if I could.

The movie is fantastic; I don't understand the comments about poor storytelling. The story is simple and compelling, about love and loyalty. The super creative environment in which it unfolds explores an age-old theme of star-crossed lovers in a new way. It never hurts to remind us that it is individual people that change the world too because of something they are passionate about.

La 1era película que hace referencia de mundos inversos: patema inverted(animada) siendo apocalíptica, y luego sale ésta película con una historia romántica cierto drama y aventura, pero no deja de luchar por ese amor y de hacerlo posible, deja una enseñanza: en lo que te propongas puedes hacer valer tu esfuerzo. Esta película es una obra de arte por las formas. La poca difusión quizás no llevó a trascender, aún así recomiendo ésta película upside dawn. No hay nada que falte al respeto es integra para todo público.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

The film makes people see that love is the icebreaker of all difficulties. No matter how many difficulties in the world, even insurmountable, as long as there is love in, all this is not a problem. The film moved people to tears. There is a kind of sincerity that transcends science fiction.

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.

Toronto Star

A Romeo and Juliet story for the age of CGI overkill, Upside Down zigs where it should zag and dulls where it should dazzle.

Behind The Lens

One of the most original, creative and technically accomplished films of our time, Upside Down is a pure delight.

Unfortunately, there's absolutely no character development, tossing a poorly realized and mundane love story at us that's furthered only by its nicely varnished visuals.

You've never seen a couple so bathed in light and aglow with love and its accompanying optimism.
