A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
... View MoreTells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

... View MoreI was really entertained when I watched this in the cinema. The story is nice enough (yes clichés ahead, but it's a picture about dancing, about overcoming odds, you expect it to have a few), with obstacles build in the way, that you will expect and predict, but all told nicely. And it did not originate from the US, which came as a surprise to me (since almost every dance movie minus the Bollywood fare, seems to be made in the US)! I liked the acting (for the movie that it is) and the dance scenes were good enough, to be told in 3-D. Though I have to admit, that there are a few sequences in the new Step up, that easily put anything to shame that is shown here. But in contrast to that, the story here is more solid, more believable (in my eyes). Nice entertainment and unfortunately overseen at the Box office (at least that's what I heard)
... View MoreThis movie is a big waste of time , the story is looks like Step Up , a Street Dance Crew training in ballet school and some ballet dancers join the crew , the only new thing here is Ballet Dance . I have some notes you might find it useful :1- I think Street Dance must be on Hip Hop music but I don't know what the director was thinking by making them dance on this music , awful .2- You can't compare this with Step Up , the dance is not good , and the story is not good as Step Up .3- The Romance in this movie is really disappointing .I think they was trying to create something new , by mixing Ballet Dance with Street Dance , but I think they fail .
... View MoreThis could very well be the easiest review I've had to write. Do you like dancing? More particularly, do you like street dancing? However you answer this will determine if StreetDance 3D is for you. There's not much more to it really.Those who enjoy eclectic, off-the-wall break-dancing will have great fun with the plethora of set pieces on offer here, especially the routines performed by previous Street Dance Championship winners The Surge (clearly a real-life dance group) who were engrossing to say the least. On the flipside, if you replied no to my previous question then perhaps you should steer clear. You won't be able to look past the atrocious acting – everyone from b-girl wannabe Burly to the sincerely out of place Rampling to the total cheeseball Winsor are on extremely poor form – the wafer-thin plot or the laughably rubbish dialogue all for the sake of some killer moves.Strangely enough this is the first British 3D film to be produced. Thankfully it wasn't just tacked on at the end similar to what we saw in Clash of the Titans or The Final Destination, but the movie was actually filmed in digital 3D, thus utilising the feature to decent effect. It's arguable that a flick like this overly benefits from the extra dimension, however the additional depth is definitely noticed in a few of the dance segments.With a thumping soundtrack and a range of enthralling dance sequences, StreetDance 3D could be the perfect no-brainer movie for you.3 out of 5 (1 - Rubbish, 2 - Ordinary, 3 - Good, 4 - Excellent, 5 - Classic)
... View Morefirstly i'd like to say, like most people on here, i am a huge movie fan and have seen a huge amount of films of all different genres. i am a dancer myself and have always loved dance films ever since watching dirty dancing when i was little, i think i have pretty much watched all of them. so when i heard about streetdance, actually a British film i thought, great, after all there is a lot of amazing UK dance talent. i was sadly very disappointed. don't get me wrong the dancing was great, with a lot of reality TV (britains got talent) stars. but this wasn't a TV program it was supposed to be a blockbuster film with a story to connect the dancing scenes. i personally would have liked to have skipped through all the acting. it was that bad. i was actually physically cringing in parts- the ballet dancers were soo clichéd i actually laughed, all the dialogue seemed robotic with them and the lead actress. the most charismatic star would be george sampson, who forgive me i'm wrong, has never acted before!!although the dancing was great, it was no more creative or outstanding than i have seen on TV shows. i have seen better choreography and wow factor in other dance films. serious lack of creativity.most dance films nowadays are pretty similar story-wise but i just felt this could have been so much better, instead of just feeling like an insanely predictable poor (British) man's step up 2. the lead actress just didn't feel edgy or believable, it felt like she was a nice northern girl pretending to be 'street'. they could have gone for a real urban London feel- a crew from a rough part of London maybe trying to escape. maybe drugs/crime being a factor- anything more imaginative than this!! also the ending would never happen so it makes the film seem silly.best parts- soundtrack- great British music.
