Step Up 3D

Rating: 6.8/10

Genre: Dance

Overall value for time and money: 7.0/10

Step up 3...D suffers from 3 main demerits. Weak story and development, weak scripting and weak acting. But its expected. I haven't caught a dance movie which had a better storyline than its dance moves, so I wouldn't mark it down because of it. When watching a dance movie, I expected awesome dance moves which would take my breath away... and it did deliver.

Probably my last 3D movie because the 3D glasses at the local cinemas are deteriorating in quality and hygiene, but Step Up 3D must be watched in its intended form. Don't you catch this movie in 2D because you'll miss out on the intended effects it have in 3D. And though the dance moves got to a plataeu after a while, the last dance scene is sure gonna stick in your mind for a long long time because its like no other you've ever seen.

A group of "homeless" dancers get together and compete in the World Jam, the most recognised dance competition there is, hoping to win the grand prize so that they can pay off the loan where they stay. This movie had lotsa eye-candies, both the main leads as well as the "bad guys" in this movie. It's like a mix of parkour, martial arts and dance... so competitive it reminds me of the intense competition of the rapping world portrayed in the 8 Mile by Eminem.

The lead actress really made the movie worth watching, because of her demure and exceptional dance moves. Main lead Luke didn't act well, and the other lead Moose had the moves but just didn't have the looks. Recommended for dance fanatics and for those who loves a good 3D movie, but not for those who can't swallow movies with weak plots and weak acting.
