Warning: Spoilers
The first film was really only good for the dancing, the second film was an improvement, but still all about the dancing, and this third film had the added 3D element, but is still all about the dancing. Basically Moose (Adam G. Sevani), who is majoring in electrical engineering and has promised his father he won't dance anymore, and Camille (Alyson Stoner), also a dancer, are attending New York University. Moose makes a new friend in fellow dancer and member of the "House of Pirates", Luke (Rick Malambri), after spotting his pair Limited Edition Gun Metal Nike Dunks, and of course they share an interest in street dancing. In amongst everything there is a rivalry between the two dance gangs, the Pirates and the "House of Samurai", and Luke, with skilled and in between gang dancer Natalie (Sharni Vinson), and the friends he has made making his documentary showing people's passion for dancing, they plan to beat them. There is a big street dance competition to win the title as World Jam champions and the $10,000 prize for the best routine, and of course they win and all differences are forgotten about. Also starring Keith Stallworth as Jacob, Kendra Andrews as Anala, Stephen 'tWitch' Boss as Jason, Martín and Facundo Lombard as The Santiago Twins, Oren 'Flearock' Michaeli as Carlos, Joe Slaughter as Julien, Daniel 'Cloud' Campos as Kid Darkness and Kathy Najimy as Moose's Mom. Firstly, it has a really good soundtrack, with Jay-Z feat. Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind", and the song that beat The Saturdays' "Higher to number one, Flo Rida feat. David Guetta's "Club Can't Handle Me". The predictable story is of course not as interesting as seeing the wonderful and exciting choreography and brilliant dance routines, and with lasers, flashy (literally) get-ups, bubbles and floating slush puppies, and if you're lucky enough to see it in 3D you get a little bit more of a buzz, for the dancing, a worthwhile romantic dance drama. Good!
