New York’s street dancing underground goes three dimensional in the third Step Up movie.
A tight-knit group of street dancers team up with NYU freshman Moose (Adam Sevani returning from Step Up 2) and find themselves pitted against the world’s best hip hop dancers in a high-stakes showdown.
... but excellent music & dancing. 6yr old son & 40yr old me are still bagsing our favourite dancers
The action shifts from Baltimore to Brooklyn in this middling, latest instalment of the popular dance series.
Step Up 3D is not really my thing, but it was more than I expected, and I suspect it will nicely serve its target market.
Ultimately the 3D element in this Step Up is a little wasted and doesn't really bring much to the genre - but your teens will adore it and may well be inspired by it all.
There's a poorly contrived plot that pits two rival dance gangs against each other as they compete for a $100,000 jackpot and there is little tension or angst as secrets are revealed, loyalties redefined and all the story strands are neatly tied into predictable outcomes. Pipped at the post by Streetdance 3D, this energetic dance film is entertaining enough but doesn't step up to any challenges.
We've been told the NZ release date for this flick is Thursday, 5th Aug 2010.
