Step Up Revolution is the fourth installment of the Step Up series that focuses on solving the world's problems through dance. Great storytelling, they aren't, but the Step Up series really is great fun. The plot is thin and transparent but it does what it is supposed to do: create situations where the cast can dance and dance and dance.
This is where the Step Up series shines because the dancing is incredible. There is always a male lead and a female lead and one of them is a more organic, free, street-style dancer and the other is more formally trained. In Step Up Revolutions, it is the female lead Emily (Kathryn McCormic) who is the classical dancer and her love interest Sean (Ryan Guzman) who applies his dance skills to flash mobs around Miami. Sean learns that his favourite bar is going to be demolished and replaced with a luxury hotel and his flash (dance) mob turns into a protest mob hoping to prevent the destruction of their hangout and neighbourhood.
That's about it for the plot but as I said before, you're not going to see Step Up Revolution for the brilliant acting and storyline. You go for the dance and it does not disappoint.
Verdict? See it and take it for what it is: a reason to watch amazing dancers perform.

Great dancing in this one! Might be the best one yet (in terms of dancing). I don't even notice the story lines anymore! Music was also phenomenal! Downloaded the soundtrack and love it!
