Upside Down (2012)
Ugh. Sci-fi romance about two planets with opposite gravity, joined together. One is poor, one is rich. If you're born on one planet, you fall towards it even if you're on the other planet (i.e. you'd fall up). The very idea is as dumb in execution as it is in theory. There's a high rise building that is literally connecting both worlds. How does it not fall apart with the worlds spinning? They aren't spinning? Ok...where does the gravity come from? Just one of the many problems with the main plot device. Also, it's a mushy melodrama with a ludicrous ending.
On the positive side, the visuals are fantastic (despite occasional lens flare), and I really enjoyed the score. And Kristen Dunst is fun to look at.
4/8 pink pollen bees...wait, what? Ugh again.
