Step Up 3D is not going to win any critical awards, for either the story-line or the acting, but it certainly was an entertaining movie and will have its fans amongst those of us who love dance and good music. The fantastic thing about these new breed of musical is that like the other movies in the franchise, Step Up and Step Up 2: The Streets, it opens up opportunities for the kids in dance and for choreographers to really show their stuff.

In Step Up 3D we are brought to New York. This alone would have probably had me walking in the door. I love New York and I love nothing better than going into a movie and recognising where aspects of the movie were shot. It’s the underground street dance scene and, staying true to the formula, there are dance battles, showdowns and romance. The good guys of course end up on top. My favourite character had to have been Moose, as played by Adam Sevani, as a totally adorable hip nerd!

Just like the other dance movie I saw just a couple of months ago (Streetdance 3D) visually the movie is a feast to the eyes and accompanied by bangin’ soundtrack I could watch this movie over and over again without getting bored. As an aside the 3D aspect of the movie wasn’t totally necessary though it did add that bit of flair or spark for the huge dance mashes.

Bring on Step Up 4Ever!!
