MOVIE REVIEW: Step Up Revolution

The fourth installment of the popular movie franchise takes us to South Beach Miami, Florida where a dance crew named The Mob conducts flash mobs around the city to win in a viral video competition. It's leader Sean (Ryan Guzman), who also works as a waiter at a posh restaurant of a hotel, falls in love in Emily (Kathryn McCormick), an aspiring dance and also the daughter of the owner (Peter Gallagher) of the complex whose ambitious real estate development threatens the neighborhood where Sean and the rest of the dance crew lives.
After Step Up 3D two years ago, this film also maximized the use of 3D technology in the film and it works well in the dance scenes. However, the story leaves more questions and even simple minds can figure that out. Most of the actors in the film are dancers in real life and their acting abilities are commendable. Bottom line though, this is just a 97 minute long music video that is better seen on MTV and/or VH-1.
If you have some time to spare, Step Up Revolution is harmless fun but it's not worth to pay the extra 3D unless you are truly a fan of the series.
