  America's Best Dance Crew: The Movie. What're you gonna expect? This movie is straight up made from cheese, the camera work was equivalent to TV soap opera camera work (except for the dance scenes), and the acting & dialogue was cringe inducing. But what works with "Step Up 3D" is the homage to all different dancing styles (from hip-hop to musicals) and the excellent choreography in the dancing scenes. This is one of those movies where you wanna fast forward through the movie till you hit a dance scene.

  Oh ma gosh, I should be sainted for sitting through another dance film with no substance, character structure, or for that matter, characters who anyone cares about. The plot could have veered into mass murder, and I wouldn't have batted an eye. Condescending to the audience's intelligence, the plot focuses on a warehouse, owned by...some guy, and inhabited with a flock of dancers. Comparing the three films, this resembles the first, a boring and clichéd dance movie with very little to care about except the frequent scenes of "battles" between crews. Looking over all the flaws of this disaster movie in the wrong genre, I think it was Luke, the owner of the loft, who irritated me the most. His attributes include: filmmaker (with a Flip Video. Ooh, fancy), no back-story that is either believable or worthy of screen time, and a personality that infuriates me. "You have an exam for a class that counts for twenty-five percent of your grade at a private university? Skip it and come dance with us!" What is the moral or message to this overhyped nonsense? Listen to the skeevy guy you meet in the park, then skip school, ignore your friends, and it'll all work out somehow? Nice for the kids to take away with. At least the second film featured some original choreography and sequences unrelated to the usual glosh of this genre. SU3 could not deliver on this, featuring an outdated soundtrack, lazy camerawork, and no chemistry between the romantic leads. Maybe it's better in 3-D, but I'm guessing suck can't be masked by a foot coming out of the screen.

  Amazing film! The dance moves are out of this world and the guy is absolutely gorgeous.

  Cast: Sharni Vinson, Rick Malambri, Adam G. Sevani, Alyson Stoner, Keith Stallworth, Kendra Andrews, Stephen Boss, Martín Lombard, Facundo Lombard, Oren Michaeli, Joe Slaughter Director: Jon Chu Summary: This continuation of the Step Up saga centers on a motley crew of street dancers who take on a talented squad of hip-hoppers with the help of an NYU freshman named Moose (Adam G. Sevani). My Thoughts: "As far as the story-line goes, it was just OK. The acting could have been much better. But there is no denying the amazing talent this group of individuals have. The dancing is the reason for watching these types of films, and this one didn't disappoint. I am in complete aw of their talent. They dance flawlessly, as if it's as easy as breathing. It's great fun and very much entertaining. See this film if your a fan of the first two films or if you love dancing."

  Too bad I missed out to watch this dance flick in 3D anyway I see amazing street dancing is spectacular. Director Jon Chu has assembled some of the best street dancers in the world. Great to see Adam G. Sevani from <i>Step Up 2: The Streets</i> and Alyson Stoner from the original reprise their characters in this third instalment. Sevani as Moose is the best character in this dance flick. He is believable, can act and is the only one with any character development. He also has pretty good charisma that makes him interesting to watch, and is quite funny. Aussie Sharni Vinson who plays stunningly beautiful and ripped nomad street dancer Natalie, is elevation and grace combined. The capoeira practice she performs with Luke (Rick Malambri) is high velocity precision. Chu is also a student of the classic musical. He films an homage to <i>Singing in the Rain</i> in a single take with Moose (Sevani) and his almost girlfriend Camile (Stoner) as they duet down the street - I totally like it!

  Turn out not as good as I predict it before, and luckily I didn't stakes my money to watch it on theaters even many people say 3D version of this movie was really good... I already predicted the story from 'Step Up' franchise could never be better, so I wouldn't hope for a better story.. But actually, this time the story was really not interesting as 2 previous encounter... And I must admit that the first 40 minutes of this movie was really boring, I didn't even believe that this movie was a part of 'Step Up' franchise! The dance wasn't as cool as in the second movie, but they had another great closing with those 'light' dance, that's amazing... Overall, it's not a great movie but it's an entertaining one, especially if you had spare time to kill...

  Saw it again!! Pretty good dance moves I gotta say and the robot guy was amazing jaja couldn't get any better than that, it's clearly the best dance move movie of the 3 step up films but it lacked of a good story, nevertheless I would see it again! A tight-knit group of New York City street dancers, including Luke (Malambri) and Natalie (Vinson), team up with NYU freshman Moose (Sevani), and find themselves pitted against the world's best hip hop dancers in a high-stakes showdown that will change their lives forever.

  <i>Two Worlds. One Dream.</i> Groovy This step up, tells the story of how Moose, from the last movie is caught in between the college life and his dancing passion. He joins a crew who has to win a battle to keep their `home` <b>Repetitive</b> As im guessing you can tell from reading the plot above, nothing has changed, the franchise continues with the samer story level. However this movie is the type of movie you dont search for a story, you go watch it because you want to have fun, and I guess this does guarantee a fun time. Horrible actors, but great dancers, this movie incorporates different dance styles, from poppin to oldschool b-boy moves, and it just makes the movie <b> Visually pleasing </b> Plus this movie has some awesome special effects, its like vitamin to your eyes. The soundtrack is amazing, like always we have some new hip-hop music, like T.I.´s Gotcha Back. But this movie has the real deal, this movie is the first movie to have DUBSTEP in their soundtrack, so two thumbs up for that. Therefore this isnt a bad movie, if your looking to have some fun, watch some awesome dancing, and trust me the <b>dancing is contagious </b>. Go ahead, this movie is fun. <u> Moose: </u> <i> People dance because dance can change things. One move, can bring people together. One move, can make you believe like there's something more. One move, can set a whole generation free </i>

  Predictable from start to finish, the corny and generic plot and script of "Step Up 3-D" would've been perfect for an ABC Family TV movie or an MTV teen series. Most of the cast is either bland or personality-less. The film sometimes abuses its 3-D technology and randomly throws stuff at the viewer, instead of using it to enhance depth, color, and shape; the mind-blowingly cheesy sound effects seem taken straight from a cartoon. It's easy to see why Rick Malambri was chosen as the lead: the man is unnaturally good-looking. Sadly, that's about all Malambri can offer, since his moves are never as dazzling as the ones by his co-stars. All of these flaws quickly disappear during the stunningly well-choreographed, shot and lit dance sequences, which benefit greatly from 3D. Adam G. Sevani makes for a supporting player that's equally parts annoying and charming (and oddly reminsicent of Michael Jackson).

  I know I'll catch a lot of flack for even seeing this, much less giving it a decent rating, but what can I say - this kind of flick is a guilty pleasure for me. The plot and acting? Oh yeah, they aren't good, But this is all about the dance scenes, and they're sleek, cool, and fun. I would say that not only is this the best <i>use</i> of 3-D in a movie since Avatar, but I think it's some of the best 3-D since Avatar, period. Filming in true 3D makes a HUGE difference instead of crappy post-converting of a film shot in 2D. A film like this doesn't take itself too seriously, and uses 3D just for fun, cool scenes, and quite successfully at that. One last note: While the dance battle scenes can be cool, my favorite musical number in this film ("I Won't Dance") was quite reminiscent of old Gene Kelly-type musicals. It was quite cool and it kind of made me wish they would once again make some whole films like that.

  The third installment in the hit "Step Up" trilogy [probably soon to be series] suffers from big things like acting and writing, but, the major priorty this film focuses on is the dancing. Me, not being a fan of dance flicks actually didn't care if I saw this or not, but, I'm kinda glad I did. The dance sequences in this movie are very surprising and they'll definitly catch the eye. They were colorful, flashy, and very creative. What I thought was going to be nothing but the same dance routine over and over turned out to be a energetic, hip dance film that succeds in its goal: surprising the audience. Now, the audience this film attracts probably doesn't care about anything but the dacing, but, me being such a critic all the time wanted more story and better acting. All and all, a succeding dance film that only drowns in everything but.

  Luke: Some people learn to dance... Others are born to. In 2006, we were told that, "every second chance begins with the first step," as Step Up was thrust upon us in theaters. In 2008, the series upped the ante by bringing it 2 the Streets. Now, the series has done the inevitable, stepping up to a whole new dimension; the third dimension...and some how it worked. For whatever faults there are in this film, one cannot argue that the dancing and choreography is fantastic, there is some solid film-making present in capturing said dance scenes, and the (real) 3D is put to great effect. This may not be my type of movie, but I will certainly put credit where credit is due. In the words of Walt Disney Pictures, "A tight-knit group of New York City street dancers, including Luke (Rick Malambri) and Natalie (Sharni Vinson), team up with NYU freshman Moose (Adam G. Sevani), and find themselves pitted against the world's best hip hop dancers in a high-stakes showdown that will change their lives forever." Here are some more plot details, because I know you'd like them: - Moose has to manage both his major in electrical engineering and dance, - Luke needs to earn money, or else the bank will take it away from him and his crew, - bitter rivalries will reach their peaks. All of these things may factor into the film's story, and sure they aren't solid, but much like a silly action film trying to stitch together some plot elements before getting to it's main purpose (Hi Expendables) this film is about getting to the dance sequences. Once it does, this film comes alive. Now somehow, I've managed to see each of these Step Up movies. I hated the first, joked around through the second, and have now seen this one. With each film, the dance scenes have upped their stakes. Credit goes to director Jon Chu, who has directed the second two movies, and brings solid work to what counts here. The dance scenes truly are spectacular. The way he places the camera in scenes and how he frames the different dance sequences is more effective at capturing the action than many modern day action films. There are some wonderfully captured scenes, and in particular, one incredibly long single shot, which is again impressive. As far as the 3D goes, with the exception of How To Train Your Dragon, this may be the best use of the format I've seen this year (Avatar was last year). Filmed in 3D, as opposed to the post-conversion process, the film's a great success when it comes to showing audience what actual 3D can look like. No, it is not necessary for this film; yes it is very much a gimmick, but hey, this film looks great, and seeing these dances in this format was pretty neat. Again, as far as story elements and acting goes, no this movie wont be highlighted for those areas, but the dance battles that are featured work. The 3D looks really good. And the hip-hop/dance soundtrack is very good as well. I may have no desire to see this movie again, and something would certainly be lost in the translation if one were to see this in regular old 2D, but viewing this movie on a big screen and in 3D worked for me. The film was well made where it counted and accomplished what it set out to do. Moose: People dance because dance can change things. One move, can bring people together. One move, can make you believe like there's something more. One move, can set a whole generation free.

  Step Up began poor, with it's ballet roots in the original, The second installment was very impressive on a technical level, and showed some pretty artistic dance moves. Step Up 3D takes dancing to a whole new level, with a story that touches hearts, and a likable cast with twists. Very inventive and emotional, which makes this Step Up the best in the series. The Step Up series will always have flaws, and will never be perfect, but that is what I love about the films, excluding the first. The 3D is very gimicky at parts, but it actually fits into the atmoshpere of the story quite well! The second film was impressive, this one was even better, and I think this should be the conclusion, because it ended so well! As Moose would say: "One Move Can Set A Whole Generation Free"!

  06/08/2010 (CINEMAS 3D) I haven't even seen the first 2 "Step Up" films but I had time and the money the other day and decided to watch something I don't usually go for. I was amazed tremendously with the whole performing arts side of this and the 3D did make a few dancing moments look spectacular. The story however is very standard and very predictable or should I say that it is a story that we have seen and know very well and is probably why I decided to snatch half a star from it. It would of been a whole star but I did like the romantic undertones. I very much enjoyed it and I would pay to see it again. Ultra cool and super awesome and again the performances is just blazing hot. I'm so glad I decided to watch this after all because it was straight up entertaining.

  The story is cliche, predictable, & unoriginal, yes, & the acting wasn't that great (but it wasn't THAT bad), but the choreography, special effects, & soundtrack make this movie worth every minutes & overshadow those flaws. As a fan of films that have hip-hop, & any kind of dancing music in it with some nice dance moves, & a fan of dancing & music (and singing), I'm glad I watched this one, & adored every moment of it. Never watched the first two because they looked boring, despite their amazing soundtracks (which I gladly own). Cast/acting: The cast members aren't actually recognizable, but they aren't forgettable, & you might actually recognize a handful of the faces in this movie. he acting on the other hand, was nothing special, it was bad nor was it great, but there were the moments where the acting seemed a bit...odd. Music/Choreography: The best thing in this movie that overshadows the flaws this movie has, & not one moment of dancing in this film gets boring. The dancing in here is solid, well done, & even makes you want to get up & dance along. I would kill to be HALF as good as the dancers in this movie. And lemme tell you one thing that every dance move in this film is not as easy as it looks, trust me, I've tried, & it takes a lot more practice & focus than you think. As for the soundtrack, man, just man, I adored every minute of each song (except for ¨Club Can't Handle me¨ by Flo Rida feat. David Guetta, I have a loathing towards that song). And despite that song I hated, & some of the songs you MAY NOT like in the film, they match each moment of the film perfectly. I really need to get this soundtrack sometime. Characters: The characters are cliche, & at times uninteresting, but even so, you can still like them, even the ones who are just background characters (I sure know I adored Madd Chadd [no homo]). Chemistry: The chemistry between Luke & Natalie as well as the chemistry between Moose & Camille is undeniably hot. Pretty much it. Plot/Story: The plot is cliche, & the story is a repetitive ¨Boy meets girl who is the sister/relative of the enemy who is trying to take you down¨ theme, & it works at time, but sometimes it gets so annoying that at times you want it to get to the next point. It works better than aother annoying films who use this same cliche, but this one still stands a annoying. So as far as things go, this film works amazingly well for movies of it's kind, & is an amazing experience to go through, with it's amazing dance moves, great special effects, & kickass soundtrack.

  This is more better than the previous step up... In the previous, when they dance in the rain... Its too dark for me too see, even when i increase the brightness of the screen. This one has more lights everywhere, I studied electricity before but I still curious about "small magnet with one LED"? ah cmon... The effect that created from those LED was cool but how is the explanation? hahahaha33.
