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?

What are critics saying?
New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
Its compelling conceit is immediately weighed down by leaden execution.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
This head-scratcher boasts visual imagination to spare even as its logistical complexities and heavy-handed symbolism ultimately prove off-putting.
The movie builds to a particularly deflating anticlimax, passing over an inevitably apocalyptic confrontation between spheres with a wink-wink, nudge-nudge bit of dialogue that’s like a rejected punchline from a Douglas Adams novel.
Chicago Tribune by Michael Phillips
Without a strong narrative engine, Upside Down ends up exactly where it shouldn't go: sideways.
Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman
Upside Down is a very fancy piece of junk.
True originality is so rare that it’s a treat to welcome a movie as completely different and provocative as Upside Down. It’s unlike anything you have ever seen.
The A.V. Club by Tasha Robinson
Moment for moment, Upside Down is the most embarrassing, hilarious, obliviously stupid movie since M. Night Shyamalan’s "The Happening," and its constant pursuit of a striking image over any other consideration undermines it at every turn.
