Excellent but underrated film

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Best movie ever!

Step Up 3D is a movie starring Sharni Vinson, Rick Malambri, and Adam Sevani. A tight-knit group of New York City street dancers find themselves pitted against the world's best hip hop dancers in a high-stakes showdown. Step Up 3D is where the series changed forever and to be honest it became much much better and don't get me wrong both Step Up (2006) and Step Up 2: The Streets (2008) were pretty damn great but Step Up 3D (2010) is the best of the trilogy, it has better dancing, better romance it's basically a better sequel as a whole also really like that kid Moose he has some damn awesome dance moves and if you saw Step Up 4 you're damn sure he is pretty awesome. Step Up 3 is a Blast!

What do you expect in a dance movie, especially one based on street dance? Let me guess, cool songs, great bass, amazing moves, and fashionable clothing?. Well this movie has it ALL. But that's where the problem lies. Thats pretty much everything that's there in the movie. I was looking for something fun to watch and thats how I ended up wacthing STEP UP 3D. (actually it is in 3D but i saw it in 2D :( ). This is usually the part where I explain the plot in about 2-3 lines but er...im afraid i might leak out the whole thing in 3 lines. No I am not exaggerating, the plot is really simple and straightforward. Fine, I'll give it a shot. The movie is about a dance crew in New York, "Pirates", participating in the "World Jam" dance competition. If you've had even the least bit of experience of a hip hop movie, you already know the ending. Like always there's a rival crew and the leaders of both the crews have some personal feud going on...(yawn)...but thats not it. What really helps carry on the tradition of the Step Up series is some really ridiculous acting and dialogs. How did I find the movie? Well, not really bad if you look from my point of view. (WHAT!!!!??). Ya seriously, I had fun. The point is you have to treat hip hop movies in a different way. Since its a dance movie, the weightage surely shifts towards well, the DANCE!, the moves and the songs. This is where Step Up has always done great. Trust me, the dancing, is awesome!. Some of the moves are simply incredible. I loved the robot dance and the one with the lights and everything. Sharni Vinson (the main girl) is so much better with her moves than clumsy Andy (Step Up 2). Remember the skinny kid with curly hair? Moose? Yeah, we see Adam Sevani dancing again as Moose in the movie. He is, as always mind blowing. He is shown as an engineering major studying in NYU. The moves are so groovy and funky that its really going to give you the urge to start dancing right away. In fact I've been listen to hip-hop, RnB, and trance since morning. The dance steps also might give some cool ideas to real life dancers. Even my college dance crew copied many moves from the movie. There is plenty of locking and popping. Okay that's as far as dancing is concerned. The tracks are even cooler. There are some really dope ones like Beggin, My Own Step, Club Can't Handle Me, Take Your Shirt Off, Jump Jump, Squeeze it and other T-Pain'ish stuff in both the movie and the OST. The bass feels awesome. The music on the whole kicks some serious ass (read "butt" if not cool). But besides all that there's also emphasis on the clothing. The shoes that are shown in the movie are really hot stuff. I loved the limited edition Gunmetal NIKE. So, in the end all i can add is if you are the kind of person who like me, loves dance, hip hop, music with funky bass, and likes to be fashionable then this movie is definitely a must watch. For the ones completely opposite, not advisable AT ALL. For the rest, its upto you, but i recommend watching it when in mood for light entertainment. Also watch it in surround sound like i did, to enjoy more.

First off, I never would have seen this movie if I wasn't required to at work. It was shown as a teen movie program at the library I work at. I had a really enjoyable time watching it though. Sure, the script was written by a 12 year old (or at least played like it did), you could see the "twist" coming from a mile a way, and the acting was on par with those of a porno, but it was still a very enjoyable movie. The dance scenes were incredible. I couldn't imagine being able to move my body the way they could but really wished I could have. The main characters Luke and Moose aren't completely awful at acting. Natalie was fine too to be honest. I don't see any Oscars in their future, but with dance moves like theirs, who needs it? I'm not a dancer myself and I haven't seen the other two Step Up movies, but if it's anything like this one, I may need to netflix them. I left wanting to dance and that's probably the best you can hope for with a dance movie.

This movie is totally dedicated to all dance lovers.Dancing is an art broadly classified as classical,western,Hip Hop,Rock n Roll,Jazz,Tap,Ballet,Modern,Swing,Contra,Belly,Flamenco,Latin and folk dancing.why should we label the word street dancing as if street dancing is something inferior.There can be only good or bad dancing.As for as this movie , every care has been taken by the Director, frame by frame and made justice for good dancing .I never believed that a Chinese Director would do a film on dance subject since they are very good in making Chinese traditional classical dancing ,kungFu based and historical movies.Though i am not familiar with the names of the actors ,I want to mention that each one has contributed for the success of the movie.Excellent choreography,camera,direction,music and lighting .Best movie don't miss it.
