5.0 out of 5 stars you know what you're in for (hint: it's not the acting), December 10, 2010

This review is from: Step Up 3 (DVD)

If I were rating Step Up 3D simply based on the acting or writing - you know, the usual movie criteria - then I'd have to give two stars out of five, at most. Heck, to this day I have trouble remembering the two lead characters' names because they were so bland and had zero personality. The only person I *do* remember clearly is Moose, played by Adam Sevani.

However, no one watches this sort of movie for the stellar acting or plot. There was one reason, and one reason only, why I watched Step Up 3D - the dancing! And in that respect, the movie more than delivered. The dancing is absolutely fantastic. It's the sort of movie that makes you want to get up and dance yourself, or attempt to, anyway. And for a dance movie, I don't think there's any higher praise.

Another surprising highlight of this film was the 3d! It might sound laughable, but I think Step Up showcases some of the best use of 3D since Avatar. No, really. I think the difference between Step Up 3D and all of those other post-Avatar movies is that most of the latter were filmed in 2d and later converted to 3d film, whereas Step Up 3D was conceived in 3d and filmed with 3d cameras from the start. With other movies that have been converted to 3d, the 3d seems like nothing more than a dumb gimmick meant to drive up box office receipts. Step Up 3D on the other hand fully utilizes 3d technology in order to make the dancing really 'pop.' Unfortunately, since 3d-capable TVs are still a relative rarity, most people who watch the movie at home won't be able to see Step Up in 3d format.

In short: The acting? Meh. The characterization? Non-existent. The storyline? Trite. The 3D? Surprisingly great! The dancing? OMG COMPLETELY AWESOME I NEED TO SIGN UP FOR A DANCE CLASS RIGHT NOW!! (<-- You get the idea.)

This review is from: Step Up 3 (Three-Disc Combo: Blu-ray 3D/Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy) (Blu-ray)

I bought this for the 3D. It's one of the best, if not the best 3D blu-ray that I've seen. It's right up there with "Open Season", which is a bit different because it's animated. It's definitely the best non-animated 3D blu-ray that I've seen. The acting and plot are almost non existent. The dancing is phenomenal though. I'm not even a big fan of dance, and just bought this to watch a non-animation 3D blu-ray besides some stupid documentary. The dancing is extremely entertaining though. You can tell the film was shot with 3D in mind.

The setting is also perfect to showcase 3D. Since the film is based in New York the outside scenes offer incredible depth. Also, the brightness doesn't at all look too low as it does on many 3D blu-rays. I watched for a reduction in brightness the whole time and really didn't notice it at all. Ghosting also never seemed to appear. Both the outdoor and indoor scenes have a great level of brightness. The outdoor scene of Alyson Stoner and "Moose" dancing is an incredible showcase of 3D and the brightness and color palette are incredible. This 3D blu-ray is a must have in your collection. There are no special features in 3D, which was a little disappointing. The 3D quality of the film and the dancing made up for it though.

4.0 out of 5 stars I only care about the steps, February 7, 2012

This review is from: Step Up 3 (DVD)

I didn't like Step up 1 that much but I incredibly enjoyed watching Step Up 2, so that's why I had to see Step Up 3.

Yes, Step Up 3 is not for everyone, because it only caters to dance enthusiasts, like myself. It really doesn't bother me if the story is inadequate or the actors were lame, as long as the dance moves are off the hook!

Sharni Vinson is definitely a great choice for this movie, what an incredible dancer. I expected more from Alyson Stoner, though.
