I am surprised I didn't hear about the movie before. Well it seems that it flopped. But I loved it.The love story is the usual Romeo and Juliet line. But it is set with a very original idea and has incredibly beautiful visuals which make one enjoy the movie from the beginning until the end. I didn't pay too much attention to the laws of this world which seems was the main thing that made people dislike it because it wasn't too consistent. I just took it as a fantasy world where rules don't matter and enjoyed it all the way.Acting is not the main part of the movie but all actors do a great job. I especially liked Timothy Spall in his supporting role of a guy from the upper world helping the two lovers to connect.Guess it was one of the movies people either love or hate. I happened to love it. IF you are like me you will just sit back and enjoy this fairy tale that takes you on an unusual trip with beautiful pictures.

SF and romance is not a common marriage...... but this movie did a good job at pulling you into the fantasy world of Adam and Eden. A poor boy and rich girl fall in love. But they live in a different world. They even live on a different world..... opposite from each other. They're not suppose to meet. Gravity makes sure it's not easy to see one another. But real love does everything to make it real......

a profound social message. a love story respecting the sacred rules and ordinary expectations. and good actors. all in Sci. Fi. package. result - a nice film about freedom and differences and passion and ways to affirm it and terrible confrontations. nothing new. but seductive. for the performances of Kirsten Dunst and Jim Sturgess. for the art of Timothy Spall. for a script who reminds desires and dreams and old stories. for technology who has the root of fantastic images. for the simple, insignificant details who define each life. for the poetry. and for the imagination. and it is all. enough for see it. twice. or for a wise verdict - it could be better. but it is it.

The movie's basic premise is indeed a very nice new take on the sci-fi genre, although the movie itself is more heavy on the romantic side, and the science-fiction can be deemed too far to be scientific as it may be even called as pseudo-science. Yet it's good that the movie stated it's focus on the starting narration so that the audience don't feel cheated on. Also the movie nicely keeps it's focus on the more romantic side. Then again I feel that the movie wasted too much time in building up the story after Adam sees Eden on TV until the next time they meet. Also the story kind of skipped itself when out of a sudden Eden regains her memory. The acting overall is a little bit above the standard by both Jim Sturgess and Kirsten DUnst. I just wished that the movie used younger and fresher talents instead.
