Critics Consensus: With slick choreography all too often interrupted by feeble attempts at plot, Step Up: All In would be more fun with all of its dialogue edited out.

"All In" is a lesser effort in this franchise, but not without its charms.
Reuniting, or really, introducing, the gang is a gimmick. It's also self-destructive-cramming in all these characters chokes up the plot, and who watches a Step Up for the plot?
It's the rare movie that knows its limitations, but also understands how to use form to best convey its strengths ...
When the cast isn't dexterously spinning, "All In" turns into a promotional video for Caesars Palace.
The dancing is the star of any of these movies, and Sie knows when to get out of the way and let it do the heavy lifting.
Even by the standards of this franchise-and this genre in general-"Step Up All In" is pretty laughable.
Step Up All In doesn't deviate from this formula - and that's great.
The film is like a bunch of music videos strung together with a romance angle. And as mentioned earlier, you don't go for this movie for scintillating dialogue, but to see them move it like experts on the dance floor.
This one, again, is driven by the tried and tested formula that is cast in stone for all Step Up films.
Words like "dream," "hope" and "believe" resonate throughout All In, and while it seems cynical to discount them, it feels even more opportunistic to pretend they're real.
Just because a film is about dance doesn't mean it can function without a plot and a modicum of decent dialogue. Step Up: All In has neither.
Step Up: All In has a few dazzling sequences, including the final dance-off, that are effective as minor spectacle, but there's never reason to care.
Incredibly entertaining and fun, Step Up: All In is a high-energy jam. After his dance crew abandons their dream of making it in LA, Sean puts together a new crew to compete for a chance at getting their own Las Vegas show. Briana Evigan returns to the series and brings a lot of charisma, and some decent acting (which is in short supply). And the choreography is amazing, with some really creative moves. Additionally, the costuming is quite imaginative and is full of unique, colorful designs. Thought the story couldn't be more trite and formulaic, the dance sequences make Step Up: All In an extraordinarily exciting film.
Super Reviewer
Who knew when they made the first one that this garbage franchise would make almost as many films as the Friday the 13th series?! Oh and both are equally as repetitive, campy, and full of douche.
While still riddled with cliches, "Step Up 4: Revolution" is one of the better instalments in the franchise, bringing in an entirely new cast and having a much bigger scale for it's dance choreography. The cinematography and choreography really are the best parts of this film, and even though the characters are not the greatest, by the end you may just feel yourself caring about them. There is one huge problem with this film and that is the main plot, which is the same as son many films out there, but I liked that it did not take over the story and it was just a small element to the film. These films are meant to have a little character development, an easy story to follow, and a likeable cast in order to get us to the final dance sequences, and this film accomplishes that for the most part. You really have to be a fan of cool dancing to enjoy these films, and since I am, this did it for me and I want to see more. The reason I like these later sequels is sue to the fact that they are doing right by their material, which is what the earlier films failed to do. Overall, it's not the most memorable film, but it is fun enough.
