Okay, here goes. Super-ultra spoilers, obviously.
You should really just watch Patema Inverted, tho, if you don't mind good old two-dimensional cackling Disney villains.

Here we gooooo


Patema Inverted takes place in a world where humanity attempted some kind of gravity experiment on a grand scale, which went horribly wrong. Lots of people + matter had gravity "reversed", meaning they'd fall up in the sky and die. Hundreds of years later, the survivors who had gravity reversed live underground, and the normal ones live aboveground as usual in some kind of dystopian society. The girl (Patema) is an "inverted" from underground and meets a boy (forgot the name) from aboveground. Dystopian society ruler gets pissy, blablabla

During the entire movie, it looks like the aboveground dudes have normal gravity, since they have a sky and poo poo, no? Hence, you espect the boy to be the normal one.
BUT it's the other way around: turns out the gravity experiment also hosed up earth's surface really bad, so EVERYONE retreated underground. Those with reversed gravity basically lived in a gargantuan cave with an artificial sky + weather simulation and poo poo, think Truman Show style. The underground folks were once guardians of sorts that monitored the surface, but both factions lost that knowledge almost completely. So the movie poster was actually correct: Patema always had the "correct" gravity, and the dystopian society is actually the inverted one. What a twist! A stupid or great one?

I really don't care
