Summary Review:
Step Up 3 is all about the incredible dancing and the new 3D effects.

Synopsis:
Moose (Adam Sevani) is just starting college at NYU and has promised his parents to give up his dancing so as to focus on his Engineering degree.

But when he gets challenged, Moose can’t help but let loose and he soon joins The Pirates, a crew of street dancers from all walks of life.

Step Up 3 starts with a series of inspiring clips from dancers speaking about how they got into dancing and what it means to them. Although the deepness soon gets lost as the movie becomes one breathtaking dance sequence after another, the intro successfully sets the tone of passion, which helps to explain the characters attitudes when the script and storyline fall short.

The music is excellent and there is a fresh creativity in the dancing.

If you decide to watch Step Up 3, you must see it in 3D. I watched it in 2D, but you can see the movie was made for 3D – some of the dance moves seem almost too fast for the 2D and the transitions are slightly blurry in places where the 3D is missing. There are also one or two scenes that you can just see were made to look awesome in 3D.

Step Up 3 is for the dance fans. If you go in expecting a moving story and witty dialogue, you’ll be disappointed by the repetitive plot, but if you want to see likable dance characters passionate about their art having a blast, Step Up 3 will be a great night out for you.
