Ever since George Sampson and the Diversity won Britain's got Talent a few years back, and Street Dance became "current" there have been a few of these films. Many of them fall into the trap of being so much about the dance, that the film has very little in the way of plot, and becomes more like a dance show than a movie. Most of the time if they have any semblence of a plot, its a group of no hopers entering a dance contest, which in the end they win. This, thankfully, manages to avoid that trap.
I saw it in 2D so can't comment on whether the 3D adds anything, but I tend to prefer live action films in 2D and leave the 3D for animated movies when they can be a bit more creative with it.
I really enjoyed this film, some really stunning dance "flash mob" sequences, but without losing the fact that it is a film with a plot that needs to move forward. Well developed characters, with lead actors who can act as well as they can dance.
All in all this is one of the better street dance movies if this is your thing I would recommend it 8/10
