The movie was just like all the previous Step Up movies; some really talented dancers trying to make a living through dancing. You know how it goes with dance movies.
Dancers trying to shine and make dance their career. Hot guy with abs meets hot girl. Sign up for a competition. They win. Happily ever after.
Wanna ask why I still watch dance movies even with the same old storyline? 'Cause their dance moves are always awesome. And then after all that I'll be wondering how is it possible to dance like they did and why can't I be like them. Hahaha.
Halfway through, I realised that it was actually a continuation of the previous Step Up movie. If you actually recognise the characters. :P This is where you actually realise that dance is really not an easy career. You have heard many say that, but an example? This sets the scene 6 months after The Mob went viral on Youtube and won the competition. By then, their popularity had already diminished. Struggling to feed themselves in LA, they went for auditions after auditions. And yeah, they didn't get in any. That's when almost all of the crew decided to give up and head for home. Leaving Sean who still has hope in his dream.
Chased out of his abode after overdue rent, he's homeless. Fortunately, his old friend Moose provided him with a place to stay. Having remembered the advertisement for a dance audition called The Voice, he urged Moose to join him. With Max's wide connections, they managed to put a crew together quickly. Among the crew was Andie. ;) And they named themselves The LMNTRIX.
At first, Sean and Andie seemed to be at loggerheads with each other. But as time passed...
Sean was faced with betrayal as his old crew from The Mob also got in the audition without telling him.
As expected, The LMNTRIX got through the first and second round of auditions, and were only left with the finals where they had to compete against the Grim Knights. However, just before that, they discovered that this whole competition was actually a setup to let the Grim Knights win. In an instant, Sean felt like there was nothing left to fight for while Andie wanted to persevere. In disagreement once again, they fell out, and the crew lost confidence. And then.... For you to find out, for me to know. ;P
Once again, Step Up has amazed me with their dance moves and I must say that the choreographer(s) has always done a great job. Honestly, everytime I watch Step Up is 'cause I know there'd be hot girls and guys, romance and awesome dances waiting to be seen. Every single time I leave the theatre in wonder and amazement. However, the same old storyline doesn't help, but I'd give credit for the betrayal part that resulted in a bit of plot twist.
3.5/5 stars

In all the step up movies that I have watched, they always send the same message: Don't give up on your dreams. So if you have dreams, reach for it! However, reality is cruel so we often have to adjust our dreams to match with the reality. More often than not, our dreams aren't fulfilled. But hey, it's not the end. It's just like me, for example. I really really wanted to become some sort of journalist in future but I couldn't get into the course of my choice. But I'm still fulfilling my dream - by writing on this blog! See what I mean? And that's that! Thanks for reading and visit often!
