Review of Upside Down (2012) by Healingtoolbox — 14 Aug 2020
8.5/10 for me. The French Inception. It complements the USA-UK Inception (2010) and the Russian Inception titled 'Coma' or 'Koma' (2019). All three Inception movies have top-drawer VFX. I note user scores for Upside Down are about twice as high as critic scores.
What critics often miss which fans do get is the mood of fantasy, invention and possibility. Upside Down is this mood. This one has much of the magic of the Toby Maguire Spiderman 1 & 2 with fewer plot distractions.
As with most fantasies written for the screen, every writer is challenged to come up with a satisfying third act. It's simply much more difficult to write a compelling fairy tale or fable than non-writers imagine.
