You already know the basic plot of "Step Up 3D": Boy meets girl. Girl breaks his heart. Everybody dances it out and, oh yeah, competes in a high-stakes dance battle against a villainous rival crew and learns the true meaning of friendship in the process.

It's the same premise as almost every dance movie and "So You Think You Can Dance" confessional. The cheese factor is definitely there. But "Step Up 3D" director Jon Chu largely breezes through the plot with a few cliches, intense stares and occasional one-liners, so we won't spend too much time on it either. The main reason to see "Step Up 3D" is for the high-energy dancing and innovative camerawork, and on those points it delivers.

An exhilarating summer treat for all ages, "Step Up 3D" celebrates the transformative power of dance. The third installment in the popular series, it is the first American dance drama shot in digital 3-D and in its unpretentious way is the very model of the organic film musical in which there is a taut integration of cinematography, production design, choreography and dynamic music. The story line flows into dance numbers, and the use of very sharp 3-D images resists mere gimmickry to express the exuberance of the dancers leaping right off the screen and sheer youthful energy and high spirits.

"Step Up 3D" has a zesty flow and movement that echoes its dances. Director Jon M. Chu, who made his feature debut with "Step Up 2: The Streets," commands a cast of 250 and a huge crew with ease and verve.

Yes, it takes place in underground clubs in New York, and pits rival crews against each other. But "Step Up 3D" is so lacking in any kind of edge, it might as well be "High School Musical: The Hip-Hop Edition."

The first "Step Up" benefited from the undeniable chemistry between leads Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan (who have since married). But the sequels have felt like successive photocopies, losing a little more color each time.
The third entry moves the series from Baltimore to New York, where "Step Up 2's" Moose (Adam Sevani) is about to start as an NYU freshman. Moose is supposed to be focused on an engineering degree, but within hours of arriving meets a team of dancers called the Pirates.Their leader is Luke (Rick Malambri), who runs a loftlike club/rehearsal space in Brooklyn.
