Upside Down

Kirsten Dunst

I see so many movies that it's exciting to come across a film based on an entirely original idea. Like this one...with its two worlds with opposing gravity so that to each the other is always upside down. And since they almost touch this creates some startling visual effects. It was preposterous but set us up for something totally new.

Unfortunately, perhaps to compensate for this originality the plot and storyline are hopelessly cliched...to the point where I just couldn't stand it anymore. They played it as a love story...a groaner, like so many others. The players tried but it was no go.

Too bad...they could have done something really fresh here.
