Step Up All In

... has a few moments of genuine awe and wonder, but there's too much plot and relatively lesser dancing this time round, which defeats the very purpose of watching these movies. This franchise is in urgent need of some new moves.

If you have enjoyed watching the Step Up series, Step Up All In will blow you away. Watch the film for its edgy and mind-blowing dance sequences. The film concludes with Sean's voice-over: "Life of a dancer is not easy, but for one moment you feel alive." True indeed. When you dance with your heart, the feeling is profound. Even though it's vodka which is actually doing the magic.

The fresh-faced cast demonstrates a strong screen presence. The soundtrack is peppered with snatches of peppy tunes by Afrojack, Method Man and Celestine. With the exception of the murky and unnecessary use of 3D …All In is a Step Up in the right direction for the youth-oriented series.

It is best if you have already seen one of its four siblings in the past so that you know what you are in for before you go for this one. If not, you have only yourself to blame if you expect any form of story or purpose from it.

Teeny boppers who have watched the previous films will not miss this one but on the whole it -doesn't have a great deal to offer.
