She sparks with Sean, the leader of a dance crew whose neighborhood is threatened by Emily's father's development plans. Step Up: Revolution is the 4th installment of the Step Up Series and it's probably a sequel that simply just doesn't suck. It's not something that you haven't seen before such as the love story, the dancing and the betrayal between friends but the dancing this time is so impressive that you easily forget the fact that it's just not an original idea. The actors and the characters are pretty good and they do their job pretty well, the chemistry between the 2 leads is believable and the soundtrack was also pretty good. Overall Step Up 4 succeeds where other films of this particular not so interesting genre have failed with it's really good dance sequences and even the good acting from a pretty unknown cast. (A+)

Dunham16 On the surface this romantic movie seems so formulaic one might pass it over unless a fan of each and every movie of this genre anxious to watch all of them over and over. A rich entrepreneur threatens the livelihoods of many struggling working people in Miami. His daughter has no interest in joining his empire and would rather become a professorial dancer. Her mentor becomes a low end male employee struggling to help his sister and niece make ends meet in Miami who works for her dad. The two leads of course face every obstacle thrown their way in the generic romantic movie and come out on top precisely the way those not fascinated by this genre expect. What makes this movie special is its superb film making. Every shot grabs the audience and keeps their interest. The seemingly trite themes are repackaged as meaningful for our time and the progress of the leads fascinating to watch. In the end one predicts the formula yet thoroughly enjoys every moment of the film.

niron-52125 if you want to see some great dance scenes in a (relatively) high budget movie, then you should stay as far away from this movie as possible, its not a dancing movie, its a chick-flick. Yes there are dancing and the movie portray a wide array of dance styles, BUT!!! because the movie tries to appeal to as many as possible, they put too many distractions into every dance scene, so "common" people won't get bored, like the first dance scene shows almost more big bouncing low-riders than the dancers! And they keep shoving dancers into every dance scene, like there's no tomorrow, that you question all the dancers capabilities. After the movie, the only thing I was interested in was who are the choreographers, because I think their work was the ONLY thing impressive about the movie.Last Thing: The DJ! Who in their right mind would have a tightly choreographed dance routine connected to a very specific mix of songs, and then have a girl DJ'ing while they're performing which possibly could ruin the whole dance! I MEAN COME ON!

Ole Sandbaek Joergensen What is your expectations when seeing a dance movie, I mean many of the reviews are negative because the story is not all that good and maybe it seems a bit to out there to change the mind of others via dance.Well what I like about these movies, this franchise, is that it is all about showing some great dancers doing something extra and showing off cool choreographs and playing great music, it always have a lot of different music, not only dance and hip hop, but also classic and ballet etc. I wish I had some of the talents these actors and dancers have, they make it seem so easy and cool, so this is why you should see these movies, not for the story, not for the typical romantic thing, but for the dancing, the music, the moves and the cool scenes with that.Enjoyable, just see it for the moves and the music.
