Battle of the Year (3D)

It's USA versus Korea, Germany, and France in the battle of the B-Boys. The predictable plot reads like a made for TV movie. This classic underdog story involves undisciplined talent with ego issues and a strict coach that may have a drinking problem and has given up on life. Witness some amazing hip hop dance moves. The dance routines look great in 3D but probably not worth the extra cost. It's an okay film, but just a step down from "Step Up". The real Battle of the Year competition may be big in Europe, but is hip hop history in America? Let the box office numbers decide.

Alien gives it 2 ½ "no I in team" stars out of 4.
