Adam (Jim Sturgess) e Eden (Kirsten Dunst) se apaixonam ainda na adolescência. Um amor impossível, separado pela gravidade. Eles vivem em planetas com forças gravitacionais opostas: ele no mundo inferior, pobre; ela no superior, explorador. São brutalmente afastados quando um patrulheiro interplanetário os flagra, provocando um acidente aparentemente fatal para Eden. Dez anos se passam e Adam é apenas mais um cara normal tentando levar a vida, ainda abalado pela perda da amada. Mas eis que Adam vê Eden na televisão e descobre que ela está trabalhando num prédio que conecta os dois planetas. Ele agora fará de tudo para, finalmente, reencontrar o amor de sua vida.

Upside down", é uma fantasia futurista romântica. Dirigido e escrito pelo argentino Juan Solanas, o filme é resultado de uma co-produção globalizada: França, Canadá e Inglattera. Numa época não determinada, existem 2 planetas que co-existem, um sobre o outro. A gravidade é um problema, e os dois mundos são muito parecidos, porém, o de cime aé rico, e o debaixo, pobre. Os moradores sã proibidos de manterem contato, e existe uma companhia, a Transworld, que junta esses 2 universos e ond eos habitantes dos 2 planetas trabalham em conjunto, porém, de cabeça para baixo. Adam, do mundo de baixo, acidentalmente conhece Eden, e após anos de contatos breves, sao separados pelo detsino. Adam jamais esquece Eden e tenta de toda forma conseguir reaver seu grande amor. Dito assim, o filme parece ser bem complexo. Tirando a questão da física, o roteiro é bem simplório: uma história de amor, na tradição de amores impossíveis, como Romeu e Julieta. O elenco principal, formado por Jim Sturges ( Across the Universe), Kirsten Durnst (Melancolia) e Timothy Spall (Harry Potter) conseguem dar credibilidade ao projeto, que carece de um roteiro mais bem trabalhado. O grande problema é o excesso de fantasia: difiicil o espectador embarcar emocionalmente numa história tão mirabolante. Mais: o amor do casal, pelo menos no início, não é mostrado como uma paixão avassaladora. Daí, não se entende tanto esse amor incondicional dos dois personagens. Mas o pior de tudo, para mim, é que, a cada momento, me lembrava de outros filmes: impossível não se remeter a "Gattaca", "Vingador do futuro", "O preço do amanhã". Os temas sao por demais parecidos. Jim Sturgess também lembra demais o seu personagens melancólico e desencantado de "Um dia". E quanto a Kisrten Dursnt, não tem como não se lembrar da cena antológica de "Homem-aranha", quando ela beija o herói de cabeça para baixo. Faltou paixão, faltou um roteiro mais estruturado ( o desfecho é risível..não existe clima, nem conflito. E pior, surge uma informação ridícula

sobre algo que limita a gravidade). O que sobra: talento dos atores, bela fotografia, em tons azuis, e efeitos especiais que ficam entre o sublime e o excesso. Para casais apaixonados talvez o filme funcione. Para os cinéfilos, fica a tristeza de não ter sido um clássico do gênero romântico. Nota: 6

Upside Down (French: Un monde à l'envers) is a 2012 Canadian-French romantic science fiction film written and directed by Juan Diego Solanas, starring Jim Sturgess and Kirsten Duns

The film starts with Adam telling the story of his two-planet home world, unique from other planets or planetary systems as it is the only one that has "dual gravity". This phenomenon of dual gravity allows the two planets to orbit each other in what would otherwise be impossibly close proximity. There are three immutable laws of gravity for this two-planet system:

All matter is pulled by the gravity of the world that it comes from, and not the other.

An object's weight can be offset using matter from the opposite world (inverse matter).

After a few hours of contact, matter in contact with inverse matter burns.

The societies of the two worlds are segregated by law. While the upper world (Up Above) is rich and prosperous, the lower (Down Below) is poor. Up Above buys cheap oil from Down Below and sells electricity back to Down Below at higher prices. A person from Down Below going Up Above (or having contact with anyone from Up Above) is strictly forbidden and can be punishable by incarceration or death. People from Up Above regularly visit Down Below to experience novelties like dancing on ceilings. The only physical connection linking the two worlds is the headquarters of the "TransWorld" company.

Adam lives in an orphanage in Down, having lost his parents in an oil refinery explosion. The only living relative he has is his great-aunt, whom he visits every week. His great-aunt has a secret recipe for flying pancakes using pollen from pink bees which gather pollen from both worlds. The recipe has passed through generations and will be inherited by Adam.

As a child, Adam secretly climbs a mountain that gets very close to Up. There he meets Eden, a girl from Up. Years later in their teens, they are in a relationship. They meet on the mountains and Adam uses a rope to pull Eden towards Down, and they head to the woods for a stroll. They are later discovered, and while Adam frantically releases Eden back to her world, he catches a bullet in his arm and drops her. Helpless, he watches Eden lying motionless on the ground as blood oozes from her head. When he returns home, his aunt Becky is arrested and her home is put to the torch.

Ten years later, Adam is now working on creating an anti-gravity product using his great-aunt's recipe. The recipe allows matter to feel both gravitational fields at once. Adam is developing it as a cosmetic product for face-lifts. Then he sees Eden on TV and learns she is alive and works at TransWorld. He finally works out his formula and gets hired by TransWorld to develop the face-lift cream. Adam's plan is to find Eden in TransWorld. In his office he meets Bob, a TransWorld employee from Up who becomes his friend after he helps him obtain rare stamps from Down. Bob offers to help him contact Eden.

With the help of Bob, Adam meets Eden by putting Up-material in his clothes to disguise himself as a worker from Up, using Bob's name as his own. But Eden doesn't recognize him because of amnesia from the accident as a teen. The Up-material in Adam's clothes starts to burn so he has to return to Down. Later on, Bob is fired but as he leaves, he secretly gives Adam his ID to help him exit the TransWorld building and into Up. Later, by calling Eden through Bob's phone, Adam manages to get a date.

Meanwhile, his cosmetic cream becomes of great importance to the company. While Adam is doing a presentation of the cream, Eden enters the lecture hall and discovers his true identity. After she flees the auditorium Adam runs to find her but Bob's ID, having been terminated, lands him in trouble. He escapes to Bob's house. He shows him that mixing liquids from both gravity fields can make a hybrid solution that resists both gravitational fields and simply floats between the two. Adam then reveals that he didn't give TransWorld the main secret ingredient of his compound, leaving the company unable to manufacture the product without him.

With Bob's help, he goes back to the restaurant where he met with Eden before and finds out she has begun to recover old memories of him. But the police arrive and he has to run. Upon returning to his planet he goes to the mountain top where he met Eden. Eden comes to find him and they meet again as they did long ago. But police are on their trail and, as they fail to escape, Eden is arrested while Adam falls the remaining distance between worlds. But he survives because of a vest containing inverse matter which he still had strapped to his torso. TransWorld agrees to drop the charges against Eden if Adam gives them his formula and never contacts Eden again.

Now Adam has gone back to his old life, believing he will never see Eden again. But Eden, not so easily dissuaded, goes to Bob for help. Bob finds Adam and surprises him by showing he can stay Down without the help of the opposite-matter accoutrements; Bob has been able to use Adam's methods to create a way to negate the effect of gravity. Bob tells him he had purchased the patent of his beauty cream before TransWorld attempted to do so. He finishes by informing him that Adam also has a "date" with someone.

The film ends with Eden revealing she has become pregnant with twins.

Adam and Eden fell in love as teens despite the fact that they live on twinned worlds with gravities that pull in opposite directions. Ten years after a forced separation, Adam sets out on a dangerous quest to reconnect with his love.

Adam ja Eden rakastuivat teens huolimatta collegues He elävät kaksoismalleissa maailmoja gravities que vetää vastakkaisiin suuntiin. Kymmenen vuoden kuluttua pakollinen erottaminen toisistaan​​, Adam esitetään vaaralliselle pyrkimys yhdistyä hänen rakkautensa.
