Step Up 3D Reminds Me of Business School. I saw Step Up 3D a couple of weeks ago. As expected, the plot was simplistic and the acting was not very good. Also as expected, there was some awesome dancing, and I really enjoyed the now requisite "dancing while wet" sequence (thank you for starting the tradition, You Got Served!).
Overall, I think the dancing was pretty cool and helped to offset the really boring parts, i.e. the rest of the movie. Another bonus is that B-Boy Cloud is in it, even though I think he should have been featured more because I *heart* him! It's okay, I can always youtube the Shakira video he's in if I need my sexy B-Boy Cloud fix. He does this crazy flip in the music video, and he's just so...oops, I got sidetracked.
Back to Step Up. My main gripe with the film is actually the movie's main gimmick, the 3D part. The whole 3D thing was really distracting and sometimes made it difficult to see the dancing clearly. Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate 3D; there was just too much of it! It was like watching a b-school PowerPoint presentation made by someone enthusiastic who has JUST discovered animation and transition effects. Argh!
Note to b-school students: Just because you can make a chart spiral into your slide with an accompanying sound effect does not mean you should.
My verdict: If you are going to watch it (and if you like dancing, you should), then I wholeheartedly recommend watching it the good old-fashioned way, glorious 2D.
