Movie review: Step Up All In

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.
