Time Out
It's a contemporary movie musical that makes you feel genuinely sky-high. - 75
Chicago Tribune
It boasts a generous exuberance and, as entertainment products go, it's surprisingly sweet. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
Step Up 3D isn't, in dramatic terms, a very good movie, but it's the first film in a while to use 3-D as more than a marketing ploy; it points toward an original way of making a musical. - 63
Miami Herald
The actors, aside from Sevani, were clearly not cast for their mad acting skills. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
While several of the dance sequences admittedly pack a visual pop, the added dimension does the hokey scripting and some of the acting no favors by amplifying their already noticeable shortcomings. - 60
Variety
This vapid street-dance soap opera boasts the series' flashiest moves and klutziest script yet, like a brilliant acrobat with a speech impediment; it's also one of the few 3D releases since "Avatar" to make compelling use of the format. - 40
Austin Chronicle
Sure, it's nifty enough to see dust particles swirling or hands swooshing at you, but mostly the 3-D muddles the invention and exquisiteness of the film's raison d'être: the dancing. - 38
Orlando Sentinel
It's the same movie as the earlier "gotta dance" over-choreographed crunk-and-breakdance epics. Exactly the same.
