Sounds in 'Step Up 3D'

Last post was totally unacceptable...........
I mean, I know I can do 10 times better than that in analyzing the song
I was gonna re-write that again
but I just watched Step up 3D tonight and I really need to talk about the sounds of this movie
so, there you go..........
It is a good movie if you're looking for great visual+hearing excitment
the choreography is amazing as usual and the sounds/music match with it perfectly
I really like how they used different SFX to the movements
It created a wonderful impact to the whole dancing

SFX
it has a lot of battle scene (well, classic dance movie scene right?)
and they used some really good SFX such as gun shots/electricity/low impact/explosion
which makes the movement very powerful and impacting
and I like the first battle that they used the animal sounds to match the movement
it's cool~!!!

Music
of cause, around 90% of the music is Hip Pop, Dance and R&B
That's the trend right
Other than that, there is one scene I really love
when Moose and Camile were dancing their old choreography back in high school on the street
and the music from the ice cream truck is a oldies from I guess around the 60's
it was very impressive
Btw, I was thinking that The Empire State of Mind is gonna be a big classic hit song in every movie about NY right?
it is a really good song
and Alicia Keys really brings out the "Urbanized" feeling in that song
I bet there will be a lot of movies using it when shooting NY!!!

Dialogue
compare to a lot of movies
it is a pretty good one
as least there ain't much scene that I can pick on the lips matching

BG/Foley
the foley has been done pretty decent
though some of the footsteps and movements sound kinda weird to me
(I guess no audience would pay attention to these little details anyways)
BG is great as there is a lot of crowd and indoor
which sounds very natural to me

This is a quite good movie if you enjoy all the cool dance and music
and the story of "pursuing your dream" storyline
I guess I might see that again when it's online or redbox
