Movie review: Step Up All In
Step Up All In is an instalment in a flourishing franchise that puts creative dancing on the world map and, judging by the success of its predecessors, this new fifth offering should hit its target market once more.

Filmed in Las Vegas, with its bright lights, its gaming and its multitude of shows, Step Up All In fits like a glove, oozing an energy and style that is hard to contain. And it’s all executed in 3D.
Directed with flair by Trish Sie, this version features all-stars from the previous instalments, who come together to battle it out for a victory that could define their careers. The winning crews are featured on TV reality show The Vortex, hosted by a glam, talkative, in-your-face diva named Alexxa Brava (Izabella Miko).

The public have a vote and the four top outfits compete for a three-year contract at Caesar’s Palace, which is every dancer’s dream gig.
The story is paper thin, but the elements of romance, tenacity and broken dreams, spun around the various hot-looking characters, are enough to keep interest at a reasonably high level.

Step Up All In is mindless entertainment, but it fills a positive niche in a market overrun with violence and crudity.
