Film Review – Upside Down

“Upside Down” is a stunning visual experience spoiled by a trainwreck of
a screenplay. It’s an awful film that’s easy to watch, utilizing
intense CGI artistry to manipulate frame activity in a way that’s rarely
been seen before, out to manufacture a bizarre alternate universe of
swirling gravity defiance and megacity juxtaposition. Dramatically, the
feature goes nowhere fast, wasting the potential of the premise on
tiring clichés and absurdly earnest characterizations. Perhaps
writer/director Juan Solanas understood he had a clunker of a script,
watching him gradually downplay the story in favor of elaborate visual
effects. “Upside Down” is certainly something to see, but difficult to
sit through. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
