Story: Sean brings his dance crew known as The Mob to Los Angeles to try and make it. But they haven't had much luck, eventually the Mob decides it's time to go back to Miami but Sean decides to stay. He learns of a dance competition is Las Vegas wherein the winner will get a three year contract. Sean needs a new crew so he asks fellow dancer Moose for help. And Moose introduces him to Andie, another friend and dancer who got injured a few years ago and is now ready to get back in. He recruits some other friends and they head Las Vegas as Lmmental. When they get there, they discover that the Mob too is also there, which is very touchy for Sean.

Likes : First off all I have to say these movies are just like the Fast & Furious franchises, these film are some what of a guilty pleasure for some people, some love them other hate them, these have a love & hate relationship always will. I can't dance to save my life but watching these movies is very entertaining to watch them put on these stunning performances with street dancing like a show on stage. You can see alot of work as gone into making these film as these dance choreographs cant be easy to do take a long time to get it right so it comes off brilliantly on screen.
What amazing is how well the acting is with the dance routines which comes off with a believable character with believable drama moments between the main characters. I will admit that these film did get better after the 2 film with the exception of the 3rd film, which had a bit more of an impact special step up 4: Revolution it had more impact with the Group called the mob who done these brilliant flash dance number just out of no where which give the film its edge.
 This film kind of follows from Step up 4 with a few of the original cast returning like Briana Evigan playing Andie & Adam G. Sevani playing Moose which adds to the flare of the film bring back original crew which i liked.This film is purely going to appeal to those who loved the other film's or love street dance movies really but it all down to your own taste of movies.

Dislikes : My only complain here is it didn't really have the wow factor or impact step up 4 had to be honest, all though its dose have its moment, but i feel step up 4 is the best one of the series of film's.

Overall : great dance choreography, great music, brilliant acting.

Rating: 4.6 out of 5 for entertainment / 6 out of 10 for concept / dance performance scene
