Upside down- A movie like no other

How far would you go to find love? Across oceans, over mountains yes, but to a different planet? Well, it seems as though Adam has defied the laws of Physics and found his soul mate after all. This story is about a two-planet world which has dual gravity. Dual gravity is a phenomenon where two planets can orbit each other in what would otherwise be impossible. The societies of the two worlds are always separated. The upper world (up above) is home to the rich, while the lower world (down below) is home to the poor. A person from Up Above going Down Below or vice versa is strictly forbidden and is a punishable offense.

Adam was an orphan in Down Below. His only living relative was his great aunt. He used to climb a mountain that led him to the fields where he found the Pink Bees. This mountain is the closest point between the two planets. During these trips, one day he sees a girl, Eden, from Up Above and befriends her. As time moves on, the two fall in love with each other and one fateful day they are separated.
Ten year later, Adam goes to Up Above to work for the biggest company, TransWorld. This is when he gets to know that Eden is still alive and tries to find her. He impersonates himself as an employee from Up Above to meet Eden hoping she'd remember him but sadly she doesn't. During one of his product demonstrations, Eden sees him and is utterly shocked that he lied to her. Heartbroken, Eden goes home and tries to remember Adam and finally gets a few hints here and there. They get back together and things go pretty well. Until the police forces from Up Above get to know a person from Down Below is residing in their world, Adam becomes a fugitive and is sent back to his planet believing that he'd never see Eden again. But will the force of love over come the force of gravity and defy the laws of Physics?

Upside down is a beautiful mashup of romance and science fiction. It creates a very mysterious atmosphere and the story is truly unique. It's one of those movies that stay with you forever.

  1. You must watch Gravity with Sandra Bullock. Wonderful film. Nice review again. Watch that present-past transition.
