Step Up Revolution

Step Up Revolution has again found some of the most kinetic talents in the country.

A troupe of guerrilla performers led by hunky Ryan Guzman stage synchronized routines on Miami's escalators and restaurant tables.

Considering the clichd storyline and lackluster acting, maybe it's South Beach that deserves top billing on the "Revolution" poster.

OK, OK. They're good dancers, and well-choreographed. You can see the movie for that and be charitable about the moronic plot.

Step Up Revolution is a bad movie with a few good moments, usually when the cast sets aside delusions of acting prowess and does what comes naturally to them.

Abercrombie & Fitch model Guzman looks every bit the metrosexual romantic lead, but also makes a credible partner for So You Think You Can Dance star McCormick. Fortunately, neither is called upon to stretch too far in the acting department and both are able to get by with good looks and flashy moves.

In short, it's nothing you haven't seen countless times before and, while it's not offensively bad, it also adds zero to the same old routine. Meh.

I've now watched all four Step Up films and despite them all being quite good this one would have to be my least favourite. It now focuses on flash mobs which became popular with the rise of YouTube but gone are the likable characters we were introduced to in the earlier films. Dancing is still good, as always, but it needed a little more to be up there with the quality of the first three films. Visually the film looked great, in particular the last scene which was very well done.

Let me say if you go into the theater looking for excellent story telling and plot lines then avoid it, but if you just want to see a fun movie and amazing dance sequences then watch it. 1. Acting: Eh it's not bad I mean it is believable, but come on, Its not Inception. 2. Plot: It kept me interested with the girl and the father. then the guy and his brother. Its pretty good. 3. Music: They finally found dubstep. 4. Dance: As always the dancing is spectacular the best thing about these films. 5. 3D: I will say like the previous film the 3D does work however it just seems like the 3D only comes in for the dances and the opening and ending scenes. Watch if you want to be entertained but if your looking for something more I guess skip it. But if your a fan of dance this is your movie. Excpecially the opening and ending dance scenes.

It's not about a complicated and thrilling plot, or a cast of incredible actors that make you believe every part of this is real. No, Step Up Revolution is simply about intricate and intoxicatingly-good choreographed routines involving "mobs" of people. Taking on the phenomenon that became the flash mob over the past few years, Step Up is simply offering up a tribute to the times. Film critics: you're going to nit-pick this film to death. But if you are easy-going and know what to expect, the movie is definitely watchable. I did feel that they borrowed the plot direction from Step Up 3 and only tweak it slightly at times, but overall it's entertaining. If the franchise were to find some real substance in the story and write the dialogue a little better, it would be quite an experience. As is, though, Revolution is just passable. That okay for me, since I came to see some dancing. In Step Up Revolution, there are some of the most diverse and cool routines of the franchise. So if you've already seen the first three, why not see a fourth?

The stagnant machinery of a hollow spectacle: A 1.0-star "visceral trauma" of rhythmic artificiality.2012 (1.0)I watched "Step Up Revolution" in the theater in 2012, and it remains a "pathetic" 1.0-star trauma that failed to provide any visceral "revelation" of true artistic soul. While the film attempted a "vivid" and high-tension fusion of flash mobs and social protest, the narrative rhythm was so 100% mechanical and predictable that it **** the fourth wall only with its blatant commercialism. Unlike the "sensational" and "raw" energy of my 5.0-star pillars like "Hairspray," this theatrical experience felt "stagnant" and soulless, offering a rhythmic void where "chewy" emotional depth should have been. The "vivid" choreography, though technically proficient, felt like a "pathetic" distraction from a script that was "raw" in all the wrong ways—lacking logic, high-tension stakes, or a rebellious soul that truly resonated. The 95% preservation of my memory is dominated by a sense of "silent frustration" as the plot followed a "stagnant" trajectory of clichés, leaving me in a state of exhaustion rather than "hororong." Unlike the high-tension precision of "Fermat’s Room" or the "vivid" brilliance of "The Science of Sleep," this movie was a "vivid" exercise in style over substance, leaving a permanent, bitter scar of wasted time on my 2012 archive. It stands as a 1.0-star record—a "pathetic" encounter with a "stagnant" vision of revolution that lacked the "raw" bite and "sensational" rhythm necessary to be anything more than a hollow, plastic artifact.

not a very great movie , wasn't great as i thought i would be . The last dance was GREAT , Without the main girl dancer and guy dancer. Wouldn't recomend ! (:
