The hilarious thing about Jon M Chu’s 3D dancers is how one-dimensional they are. They bang on and on about how dance saved their life. They’re never more themselves than when they dance. Dance makes them free. Dance can do anything! Blah blah dance blah blah. Dance.

Luckily, dancing is incredible to watch, and Chu’s urban-inflected extravaganza knows it. Don’t pay much attention to the predictable plot and laugh-out-loud stupid dialogue; the joy of Step Up 3D is the delirious way its choreographed setpieces constantly invade ‘real life’, Old Hollywood-style.

It’s ostensibly a romance between chiselled, brooding dance crew leader Luke (Rick Malambri) and new-midriff-in-town Natalie (ex-Home and Away star Sharni Vinson). But its most charismatic presence is Adam G Sevani as Moose. The babyfaced pop-locker from Step Up 2 The Streets is now a babyfaced NYU freshman who neglects his studies and his adorable BFF Camille (Alyson Stoner) because of his compulsion to move.
