Movie Review of Step Up 3D
Latest volume of a popular series, “Step Up 3D” is more like a concentrated advertising and fine moral than a true cinematic effort. Anyway, the writers have understood this long ago with a focus on dance to the detriment of “history”.
A dance event is prepared with a beautiful pool in return. For the nice Luke (Rick Malambri), this money would be used to pay for the house where the whole band come and train. Especially since he can now count on the contribution of the seductive Natalie (Sharni Vinson) and the young rookie Moose (Adam G. Sevani) to impress the judges. But is that it will be enough to dethrone the legendary opponent who is far from being sympathetic or advocate team spirit?
Every two years since 2006, a new component of “Step Up” filled the screens. Even if the quality did not go the first time the public was there, which seems sufficient to generate suites. The third list is very similar to earlier: the script is empty and absent an excuse to don a variety of dance numbers. These moments are seeking to put full sight and ears with their enviable pace and frenzied editing. Outside, two important details missing. First choreography are hardly developed, limited too often good ideas that do not arise on something tangible. Sound Choice also unsatisfactory because the melodies are difficult to top. Serious problems for a film like that.
Rather than speaking of cinema, the movie is more like a huge arcade. Noise is ubiquitous, as are the luminous flux emerging continuously from the screen, graciousness of the most effective technology in three dimensions. It missed a cross from “Grease” and “Mortal Kombat” plugged into so many volts that emotion and humor have totally vanished, being replaced by an orgy of sweat and smoke. While the spirit of the audience (this type of product caters primarily to young teenagers) bailey crows, brands are advertising all the way, just as brave educational messages about the importance have a family.
Taking up again the reins of the narrative, John M. Chu has staged quite acceptable. Although it does not always know much directing his actors (unless the lack of talented performers is in question), the main players defend vigorously stereotypical beings. In two stories of love sweet and extremely kitsch, Sharni Vinson and Rick Malambri good show, however, is being eclipsed by Adam G. Sevani and Alyson Stoner. These two young people are especially sparks in a number of old (the one just after the ice cream vendor), living with a clever plan charisma sequence. Too bad that all is not like more in this moment of grace.
At the time of singing and dancing back in vogue (“High School Musical” to “Glee”, the examples are numerous), “Step Up 3D” remains fixed in the attachment (the container, colors, etc..) instead to focus on the essentials (the dramatic issues, development of characters).
