Movie Review: Upside Down

While the premise of Upside Down was actually quite refreshing and absolutely fascinating, the film somehow failed to deliver a certain degree of tension and dramatic suspense mostly on the unexpectedly weak writing. Everything felt too convenient and easy that the story became strangely predictable towards the second half of the film. Visually though, it was fantastic. The cinematography was superb and the imagery was quite astonishing. It can be disorienting at times, but I guess it's part of the film's charm. Oh, and Jim Sturgess was quite a charmer despite the lack of chemistry with Kristen Dunst. 6.5
