Synopsis from Wikipedia: "The Mob sets the dancing against the vibrant backdrop of Miami. Emily arrives in Miami with aspirations of becoming a professional dancer and soon falls in love with Sean, a young man who leads a dance crew in elaborate, cutting-edge flash mobs, called "The Mob". When Emily's wealthy father threatens to develop The Mob's historic neighborhood and displace thousands-of people, Emily must work together with Sean and The Mob to turn their performance art into protest art, and risk losing their dreams to fight for a greater cause."
AA: In the history of the musical, Step Up Revolution belongs to the Gene Kelly - West Side Story tradition.
The plots of musicals are usually conventional, frameworks onto which one can hang brilliant production numbers. Step Up Revolution is based on the rich girl, poor guy formula. There is a reconciliation that stops the revolution in the end: the rich dad promises not to demolish the Miami quarters important to the people, and Nike offers a lucrative deal to the innovative dancers.
Step Up Revolution is dynamic, energetic, anti-realistic, electrifying, and full of bold compositions. There are instances of slow motion and jump cutting. Most importantly, the production numbers are vigorous, original, and each one is different, while there is a common flash mob identity: in each happening, a new artwork displaying the mob logo is created. The flash mob numbers are produced always in a new and different situation in the city. They are recorded instantly on mobile phone cameras and sent to the web. The first number is a dance on top of the cars on the coast highway. Other situations include an art gallery opening, a top restaurant, a board meeting, and a demolition site.
There is a division of labour among the Mob: Eddy the hacker, Penelope the DJ, Jason the FX, Mercury the street artist, Iris the video, Sly the stunts, and one for parkour.
Memorable dance production concepts include: painted camouflage dancers, fiber optic ballerinas, pirate dancers, business suits with the shower of dollar bills, gas masked dancers, the extremely dangerous trampoline number, the RoboCop dance, and a beautiful romantic number. Fusion dance may be one of the keywords.
Beneath the conventional plot and the wish-fulfillment ending there are strong ideas: "sometimes it's good to break the rules", "guys like us are invisible in our own city", "enough with performance art, it's time for protest art", "we were born here; give us a voice", "it's not about the contest, it's about giving the voice to those who are not heard".
The visual quality of the 3D was very effective and assured in XpanD. The creators of this film take advantage of the fantastic and anti-realistic features of 3D.
