And we’re
not even talking about either action or horror here, huh?; but a dance-themed
drama instead.
Look, Step
Up All In was the fifth Step Up movie ever filmed since its formal inception in
2007, with the previous instalment came just a little bit less two years ago.
And I remember watching that flick over HBO with that flashy mob.
Now, let’s
move fast forward to present. The Miami-based mob split up from its leader
after a series of disappointment from their auditions in Los Angeles. Now, that
guy has to rebuilt his dream to succeed even further, until he spotted a dance
contest in Las Vegas.
Did he
succeed even further considering that somewhere in the movie he faced his old
crew? That is something I can never tell you (please, watch the goddamn movie
and don’t rely on any potential spoilers from us and even from the legitimate
critics).
Everything
showcased in the fifth Step Up seemed to be more realistic since break-ups are
always part of our life cycle. And there were times that you have to deal with
your old buddies as now-competitors.
However, at
the end of the day, it is the personal relationships with your peers and even
foes which will matter the most. Yes, dancing is life, and so was winning,
competing and losing. And sometimes, if you want to win the game, aside from
putting your all heart and mind on it, you’ve got to have fun.
Aside from
some sick moves, revolving soundtracks, it was the drama which had emphasis the
most. Good thing though the main story wasn’t romanticized by its side
love-story (something that is really, not appalling at all for me).
But come
on, most of the dance story flicks used to showcase those types. But it’s all
good anyway. Much better than the ones we used to see in the silver screen.

The movie was good; dance routines were okay but the plot is soooooooooo boring like it's previous sequels. :)
