3D Film has now officially gone beyond a gimmick....

Now i like what 3D is doing. Avatar was good, Nightmare before Christmas in 3D was good. And i approve of a lot of other 3D movies.


But this one takes to biscuit!

Step Up 3D

I have not seen Either Step Up 1 or 2, or any such film's. But now the 3rd outing in this Franchise mainly aimed at certain American youths and Dance Fan's, is just taking the whole genre and the gimmick a bit to far.


There's entire sequence's in this movie that don't even appear to make sense.

I point mainly towards a scene where the main character and the male lead stand on a grate and let green spheroid's fly up into the sky with an air vent? Why?

Because they could put a camera over them with a birds eye view and then add CGI and 3D to the scene and blow gullible people's minds.

And i'm not sure, but is the group with Light Suit's and Laser's the same group that won Britain's got talent? If so far due's, but for feck sake that's just more gimmickry.

Movies, especialy of the Dance or Musical variety should have story, they should have some depth. Basing a movie around coreography, music promotion, and 3D effect's is just plain exploitation. The general Cinematography doesn't even look like anything spectacular. Adding 3D to what would have been pretty much the SAME dance movie for a 3rd time is just insulting to the cinema goer.


Although, frankly, i may actually make me want to see this one... And then again, it can only be seen this way in the cinema, so it's going to make MILLIONS! And 8.50 or so of my money may be amongst that...

Essentially, what you'd be looking at is a tech demo. I can't see the video, but at first I thought you were talking about this... thing that was advertised before I saw Clash Of The Titans http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1447972/

I hope the plot is as bad as it sounds. It features those guys off of Britain's Got Talent too. And it also features a lead character with the poshest 'street' voice ever, so much so that she sounds like a poorly disguised police officer trying to infiltrate a bunch of ne'er-do-wells who've turned their back on society to dance. "I is waiting h-...ere for my crew... yes?"

I looked it up, damn it does look bad. And the voice over for the trailer is pants!

I can only guess that the reason for 3D in this movies is to accentuate asses, dongs and boobs onscreen. Can you imagine if Labyrinth had been in 3D? That codpiece would have been horrifying. Almost as scary as Jennifer Connelly's eyebrows.

So a voiceover man is dead, eh? Looks like it's time for me to slip in a CV (cool voice).
