Step Up: All In

Step Up 5_360P

cool

step up is the most beautiful movies about dance is passion.

I guess I shouldn't be too harsh about this movie as I wasn't expecting anything worthy of an Oscar however, I feel that they have exhausted this type of plot. The storyline was soooooo predictable and got to the point where serious moments were actually funny because it was so corny and cheesy, I'm sure this is not what the movie makers were going for. Normally after these types of films I leave the cinema wanting to be a dancer all of a sudden haha but not with this, I just felt like I watched a spoof about a dance movie! The lead guy is nice eye candy which kept me in my seat but apart from that nothing else stood out. I'm surprised that it's rated so high on here, 3 out of 10 is more than enough! Sorry guys but time to hang up those dancing shoes!

The latest in the series sees pretty much a similar story. A group starts together, the morale quickly falls where all but the leader quit. He then has to form another group in order to take part in a potentially life changing competition. From a certain angle it shows the struggle creatives face to make a living out of their passion which is not easy. During such struggles, many cannot cope thus feeling they have to follow reality and succumb to the pressures whilst others are prepared to go all the way no matter what the consequences are. The leader of this dance group finds encouragement from a Russian immigrant in the US who also faced struggles before succeeding. On that add a sense of the youthful spirit of determinism there is a positive vibe embedded throughout. Despite its good aspects, it is rather corny and thus falls sort of making any greater impact.

How did a movie which received generally mediocre reviews on release spawn an entire franchise? That's a weighty question about the foibles and excesses of Hollywood that you can ponder while watching Step Up All In, the fifth Step Up movie about a boy and a girl finding love amidst the dance-breaks. As you might expect, it's as formulaic as they come, with some decently-choreographed dance sequences that break up the monotony of the film's so-called 'plot'. Sean (Ryan Guzman) just wants to make a living as a dancer, but he and his crew - the Mob - keep coming up empty at auditions. When everyone else in the Mob finally decides to pack up and head back to Miami, Sean stays in LA and resolves to enter The Vortex - a spectacular dance competition that will guarantee its winners a three-year show in Las Vegas. Sean sets out to find a new group of dancers, including opinionated Andie (Briana Evigan), even as his buddy Moose (Adam Sevani) wavers between his steady job as an engineer and his own desire to cut loose on the dance-floor. But, once LMNTRIX is formed and makes it into the finals of The Vortex, Sean's single-minded devotion to winning starts to create tensions within the new group. Along the way, there's shady Vortex host Alexxa Brava (Izabella Miko) and nominal villain Jasper (Stephen Jones), a conspiracy to rig the competition, and a budding romance - obviously - between Sean and the sensitive Andie, who doesn't want to win so much as just enjoy her time with her new dance crew. But it's all largely window dressing, packed around a hugely predictable plot. Group members pull out for personal reasons and return triumphantly at the last minute, characters learn lessons about finding your own kind of victory in a difficult world, people dance to fall in love and forget their problems. The cast is mostly dutiful, yet lacks the spark and charm that so evidently set Channing Tatum on his route to stardom after the original Step Up. Guzman is handsome but, in playing his pivotal role, doesn't manage to muster up much in the way of emotion. Evigan is more effective as Andie, hinting a little at the tragedies and pain that go into dancing everyday for a living, while Sevani provides good comic support as Moose. At least the dancing is fun to watch. Every so often, characters stop to cut a rug, and some of it is genuinely quite thrilling. The final performance by LMNTRIX (and others) is a spectacular choreography blow- out that gleefully encompasses everything from sand and fire to acrobatics, even as it wraps everything up in a pretty, predictable bow. If you're looking for revolutionary, thought-provoking cinema, Step Up All In is very much not the movie for you. This is fluff of the first order - and not even of the first grade - that might occasionally entertain the unconverted and will certainly thrill long-time fans, but is unlikely to do a great deal more than that.

I went to go watch this movie with my daughter. I was not too sure this movie was going to live up to the other two films. But I was wrongly mistaken. This movie has a little bit of everything betrayal, love and of course lots of dancing. The beginning seems to be a little confusing or slow. But with patience eventually the movie comes together and it makes better sense. Due to how the ending was completed. I wonder if there is going to be another movie to continue the storyline.If so it will be quite entertaining and I wonder if it will be stationed in the final area they were at (location). I wonder if anyone is going to get married. I want to know if any babies, children or a pregnancy is going to be added to the storyline. I would also like to see the (Beyoncé) Twin dancers added. Lastly, the ending is great. So go watch the movie and be the judge yourself.

Away from Miami into another dance competition that is. This is a direct sequel to the last Step up, which hadn't happened yet. The character Moose seems to be in all of them (and he is except for the first one, even if you could swear he was in every single one of them, like I did and thought), but other than that, there didn't seem to be a string/continuity apart from a story that seemed to be the same over and over again ... something a reviewer has stated here ... forgetting that Step Up Revolution tried to break the formula. If that was successful or not we do get most of the same players (good guys) from the previous one, still looking for a job (and love apparently). And that's where this gets back to the classic story. With one minor "dent" if you want to call it that, which gets fixed by the end of it. There are some slick moves and I'm pretty sure some of the things will look great in 3D (only watched it in 2D though). Don't watch it for originality, only if you like the "genre"

Step up All In is yet another failed attempt at making a feature film simply by showcasing dancing talent. Well-choreographed movement was also lacking throughout, although it endeavoured to entertain in the last 15 minutes, and succeeded. The progression of the "story" was constantly skipping over entire moments, with as little as one sentence or a voice-over to catch the audience up to speed. Unfortunately the acting was laughable, and not during intentionally comedic dialogue. There were some good sporadic dance sequences intertwined between weak performances from all involved. The only breath of fresh air was "Moose" (Adam Sevani) and his beautiful parents, which added the humility needed to make any of these plot progressions believable. For fans of this franchise it may have managed to reach expectations, although even they may tire of this regurgitated story and predictability. In this over saturated dance-battle-extravaganza market –– it's time to step down. */5 ***/10 By Rocio Belinda Mendez

everything apart from the dance at moose's work place and the one at the very end this film is just so so bad. the terrible directing and messed up editing just make it feel like key parts have been left out for no apparent reason, and as for the blatant theft of scenes from countless other films like eminem on the bus in 8 mile, with the hoody on an music playing as it drives along montage style, and many others that i just cba to mention, just makes watching this un-original an clichéd film unbearable. the one an only reason i watched it to the end was to see what sexy costume briana evigan was gona be wearing in the her next scene, other than that its total pap
