Upside Down is, more-or-less, a teenage magical romance-adventure. Many of the negative reviews out there are correct on some points, but downrate the film too harshly. The premise and world are interesting and visually the film is pretty decent. I can imagine myself being impressed in my middle school/high school years. Upside Down I rate a cut below a film like Tron Legacy (similar genre/audience, but done better), but not worse than your average Hollywood movie.

3.0 / 5.0
