nondescript romance sci-fi

The most novel thing about "Reverse World" is to build an anti-gravity setting that is reversed and retrograde in a parallel world. In addition, the exquisite and elegant visual effects are also impressive. There's nothing else I can do about it, neither the story line nor the characters, I'm so confused, I don't even understand what the theme of this story is.
I thought the movie was a love story set in a sci-fi world, and it turned out that both were indistinguishable.
The traditional blue sky has become a picture of a city that is as bright as a galaxy, and the beauty is beautiful, but the common sense in the subconscious can’t help but be confused when watching the movie: What is the boundary of gravity? Since the protagonist can travel through water, why doesn't "inverse matter" fly back to the sky at any time? For these issues that cannot be explored in depth, the screenwriter briefly described the basic laws of gravity and matter in the two worlds in a one-size-fits-all manner, and then quickly cut into the emotional drama. And once the audience is familiar with the anti-gravity setting, the sci-fi elements disappear.
In the film, the hero and heroine are on opposite sides of the sky for nearly two-thirds of the time. As the processing of film and television language, there is not only a lack of tokens of acacia, and even the initial meeting place has not achieved the proper dramatic function, which makes it impossible for them to express their inner drama when they are in different spaces. Ten years later, the male protagonist became impulsive when he saw the female protagonist on TV, but his emotions in the middle part were completely blank. It's too jumpy. Even if the male protagonist thinks that the female protagonist has passed away, please ask the director to climb the tree for a shot, and go up the mountain to entrust the love of love, so that the audience can continue your affectionate relationship for the past ten years.
I switched from looking up at the first sight to kissing in adulthood for the second time. I had just finished making up the process of their falling in love by myself, when I suddenly encountered two people who were separated by accident after being discovered by the police. After that, the various twists and turns in the relationship between the hero and heroine have similar sudden jumps that make people indigestible. In particular, the shots of the heroine's changing emotions and performance status are too subjective and lack necessary guidance. Seeing people at a loss: Did this girl fall stupid? What are you going to do about it?
The vicious police and mercenary capitalists in this love movie did very limited damage to the emotional drama, and did not play the role of the sublimation theme. The big fat man in the upper world who helps the male protagonist relies on the screenwriter's golden finger. He has jumped from a laid-off worker who has achieved nothing for more than 30 years to a genius scientific entrepreneur, who can manufacture all kinds of equipment that can block water or cover up.
In this way, let alone the fact that the female protagonist is pregnant, I will no longer doubt it, and I will feel at ease when the sky of the upper world is falling. Anyway, it is a landscape film with a wild and wild horse.
It's just that the film technology has come up, and the story is scattered, which is a pity.
