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.

Anton Bitel

Sight & Sound

The problem is that the physics here are patently ridiculous, and there is likewise no viable chemistry between stars Jim Sturgess and Kirsten Dunst.

Globe and Mail

Soon enough the worlds of Up Top and Down Below feel like distractions, CGI Potemkin villages.

Rated: 2/4

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

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.

Upside Down is magnificently beautiful, the ideas were interesting, but which didn't quite show its true potential. I was fascinated by the visuals even though I thought the storyline was contrived and unoriginal.

Don't bother with the ne'er do well comments, this is a real gem, a heart-warming love story!

It started out *strong* and then Just. Got. Boring. It was hard to really care about any of the characters. Too bad, it was an interesting idea, but writers in Hollywood just couldn't carry it past the first 15 minutes.

This is 12 years old and I’ve only just heard of it and it definitely seems like I wasn’t missing out on anything. What a boring and pointless film. The science is confusing about being upside down and the story is very slow and just irritatingly boring.i love Kirsten dunst so kept the full film on but couldn’t keep concentrated as nothing was happening. I don’t even know what happened in the film,2 people want to be together and end up being together,with very little happening inbetween. Avoid at all costs

Filme: Mundos Opostos Assistido: 24-12-24 Elenco: @officialjimsturgess @kirstendunst Timothy Spall, James Kidnie, Blu Mankuma Modelo: #ficção #fantasia #romance Duração: 2h Ano: 2012 Minha opinião: um romance gostoso de assistir onde temos a Kirsten de Homem-Aranha. Meio ao estilo de “A Gentes do Destino”. Onde tras um perpectiva diferente parecida também com “Elysium” com Matt Damon ou “O Preço do Amanhã” onde existem as castas. Ou o estilo fora da caixa como em “A Origem” DiCaprio ou “A Torre”. O filme segue este estilo de mescla de mundos. Mas o foco principal aqui é o casal; Eden (Kirsten) e Adam (Sturgess) que moram em mundo opostos, mas que o destino os uniu. E esse amor sera que superará até a aminésia sofrida por Eden? E entre perseguições, mas onde temos amigos que constroem e ajudam para esta estória de amor ter um final feliz. Bob (Spall), e Albert (MAnkuma) um de cada mundo ajudando Adam. Um filme que tem uma boa fotografia que retrata cada mundo de forma distinta. Um bom CGI, e enredo. O casal também busca a química para que sitamos a mesma emoção, mas faltou um pouco de Kirsten. E no final do filme sentimos que correm para que tudo termine bem. Talvez se explorassem mais 5 a 10 min e trabalhar mais o romance, fecharia com chave de ouro. Roteiro e enredo são bons, mas poderia ter sido melhor, pois a construção foi boa, porem no final correram. Vale apena assistir? sim Nota: 7
