Review of Upside Down

Upside Down (I) (2012)
1/10
If you're going to come up with stupid laws, obey them
29 September 2013
Warning: Spoilers
This is a truly terrible movie.

Eye candy is not saving grace of a movie, it is icing, but only when there is a cake.

Within the first 5 minute of the movie, you are treated to a terrible voice over explaining the THREE laws of the universe.

Then, it is immediately violated with no consequence.

The man eats a fruit from the other world, which will remain in his system for hours... which means it'll burst into flames and kill him.

I could accept their kissing for a little bit, but the hours they're implied to be together, Kirstin would burst into flames for being against the rock and in contact with inverse matter.

The trailer seemed like this would be an interesting prospect, but the movie failed in every aspect.

Why don't they just do away with the pretense and admit it is another lazy "star crossed lovers" tale?

There is no conflict as there is no consequence to them touching.

People will say you are being too critical, but there is no excuse for laziness of this level. Even a soap opera wouldn't stoop this low.
