This is one of those movies that takes its sweet time with a scene way longer than it should. For example, one scene shows the main character's mother taking him to school for the first time. It shows them parking the car, opening the car door, walking down the street to the school entrance, entering it, going down the hall, only for her to stop and decide he's not going to school after all... and then showing them walking down the hallway again, opening the door again, walking back step by step to the car again. What should have taken maybe 15 seconds (enter the school, change mind, exit it) ended up taking a whopping 2 minutes of screen time! Characters also talk really slowly in general. The movie could have been half its length if it had a sensible editor to cut out the fluff.
Every other element of the story, apart from the anti-gravity gimmick, is also clichéd, boring, and ultimately squanders the potential of its interesting premise.
For much better movies that explore the theme of anti-gravity people, try Upside Down (2011) and Patema Inverted. For a much better movie that explores the theme of a person born with a unique fantastical condition, watch The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Any of these three films is much more worthy of your time than this slog that doesn't respect the audience's time and patience.
