Step Up All In

Skilfull dancers from Step Up movies past join together to compete in the Vortex dance tournament.

I've only seen two of the previous Step Up films coming in to Step Up 5: All In. Because of that, I think I may have missed the excitement of the character reveals during this film as it was quite clear there were performers or actors who had appeared in previous installments who had returned but I didn't know who who they were... Anyway, the story here is very similar to Step Up movies past. There's a love interest, a dance group, everybody has a falling out, then they come together to save the day. Same ol', same ol'. The story is hardly anything to write home about, but, the visual presentation is incredible! The colour, the special effects and the 3D was awe inducing at times. The dance choreography was impressive, I don't know another word to use. I'm not into dance, never had an interest in it but the dancing in this film combined martial arts, steampunk and body contortion which I was strangly drawn in to. The music I also found more engaging in this film compared to films past as it combined a variety of music from 80's to rap to salsa as opposed to just one genre. Compared to Step Up 4, this movie is equally enjoyable but I did find the dance routines in Step Up 4 had a much larger scale to them, more use of colours and lighting and was designed for 3D in mind so visually it has the advantage over Step Up 5. However, I enjoyed the styles of music and certain dance routines more in Step Up 5 plus the acting was noticably better I thought with a much more attractive and talented lead actress in Briana Evigan. She can move!

Final Verdict: I don't want to admit it but I actually enjoyed this movie.. I'm not into dance, I'm not big on musicals and yet I was glued to the screen... when they were dancing anyway. It's very much a genre movie and won't be for everybody. Impressive choreography and stunning visuals made up for a boring cliched story and the 3D effects were pretty good to.

I was having a good time watching this,just like the feeling i had watching the previous one. Despite the lack of storytelling -which i didn't really expect about it- the dancing scenes were all amazing and satisfying for all step up fans.If they add water and electric element to their dance moves on the previous movies,now they bring fire,sand,and wind -yes,lots of wind-.The thing i like the most is that the crews are back,your favourite characters like moose,jenny kido,and andie.Thats what keeps me excited watching this movie,and as a step up fan,im really satisfied.The final dance was breathtaking and excellent.i couldn't stop listening to the soundtracks now.If you like to dance and a feel-good movie,watch this one.

I will admit I was nervous, being a Step Up fan, that this was going to suck! Fortunately, it doesn't at all. It's fun,the music is great, and the end is maybe the best dance sequence of any of the films! I brought a couple of people with me to the movie that were not STEP UP fans and they sincerely thought it was good. O.K., the acting is poor, but you expect that ( to a certain extent) in films like this. But who cares? It adds to the campy love of the films. It's a fun movie and I love the fact they brought back many of the characters form the earlier films. If this doesn't succeed financially, it will be a shame. It's better than a lot of movies out there!

First of all, I am a huge fan of Step Up movies..because i'm a dancer myself and come on guys who doesn't want see a dance movie..but I will review this movie fairly not only as a fan. Moving on to..

The Upsides -

Good cinematography, sensible humor😀...few flaws in characters(of course they r dancers not actors) but still a good job ..Costumes and all Stages looked pretty cool...budget well spent..!!

Dancers, as they have been in prequels.."Awesome" ..but the dance scenes not so great(bit disappointed)..

The Downsides -

Storyline as it have been since step up 1..same and empty, also Music and soundtracks were a real let down compared to the prequels. Poor camera work during dance scenes(really annoying)..seemed a mess when all characters performed at a time on a small stage. The movie is not as good as step up 2,3 and 4(which is disappointing)..but it will make you jump out of your seat & start dancing...

Finally, Step Up:All In____"You're Not Gonna Remember it in T-Minus One-Day🕦.......🕟Yup Already Forgot"..!!

Don't be fooled. This is not an actual movie. It is a dancing show! The plot is minimal and cheesy. Young people who want to have a chance to fame while doing what they love most. Dancing. Any other plot elements like a couple of small dramas are short-lived and superficial.

Soooo, it all about modern dance. Pop music, hip-hop, breakdance.

In that department the "movie" is OK. If you aren't too much into it, you may find your self bored near the end since the later moves are not better than those at the beginning of th movie.

This is the 5th part of a series of films, but it doesn't matter if you missed the previous ones.

Overall a dance spectacle more than a movie with lots of modern music and some fancy acrobatic moves.
