The Love Beyond Gravity The film Upside Down, which released in 2012, is a Canadian-French romantic fantasy film. Its director is Juan Solanas. In the film, the main actor is Jim Sturgess who acts as Adam and the main actress is Kirsten Dunst who acts as Eden. Because the movie happens in a fantasy and fictional world, it has different rules. This amazing world is the only know solar system with double gravity. Two twin planets whirling together around one sun, but each with its own and opposite gravity. It is possible to fall up and rise down in this world. There are three basic laws of

Secondly, an object?s weight can be offset using matter from the opposite world-inverse matter. The last one, however, after a few hours of contact, matter in contact with inverse matter burns.
