Critics Consensus

Step Up Revolution treads familiar territory by surrounding its lively and kinetic dance sequences with a predictably generic story.

Despite the fact that there are four choreographers listed on the IMDB credits, even a few of the routines felt flat.

One can't help but feel that if the franchise hasn't jumped the shark it's certainly stepping over a finned killer fish with abandon. Damn. We've been served.

The Step Up dance franchise steps up for a fourth time, unashamedly and unselfconsciously sticking to a tried and trusted formula, here transplanted to Miami.

1.5/4.0

What should have been a stylish and fun film is instead an exercise all too similar to those godawful 80's dance flicks.

Dance is a great and expressive art form, so why can't it be displayed in a great and expressive film?

There just wasn't enough of the blockrocking beats and big phat high octane dance numbers to offset the megadownload of cheese.

The worldwide gross is $140,470,746.00 over a budget of $33,000,000.00. More than the production budget.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

The dance artistry is captivating and entertaining. The whole movie is about various dancing motifs and works.
