Review of Upside Down

Upside Down (I) (2012)
7/10
Enjoyable fantasy with an interesting storyline
13 March 2013
If you're looking for Sci.Fi., you might not enjoy this. It's a fantasy/love story. It's not too bad either.

Dunst is great and Sturgess also puts in a good performance. I found the performances from the supporting cast really wooden and uninspiring. Even the main supporting actor, Spall, was rehearsed and unconvincing, despite having a good script and role. I think the supporting cast brings the movie down.

This movie tries to please the Sci. Fi. lover and the romance lover at the same time. And though it doesn't do either really well, it still turns out to be an interesting and fun movie with a good storyline and good use of humour. The action scenes were good for the most part, though a bit drawn out in the end. I felt that the movie should have stuck to it's strength in the interaction between the two main characters rather than try to focus on action at some points.
