Plot: Disney's "High School Musical" phenomenon leaps onto the big screen in "High School Musical 3: Senior Year," which finds high school seniors Troy (Zac Efron) and Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens) facing the prospect of being separated from one another as they head off in different directions to college. Joined by the rest of the Wildcats, they stage an elaborate spring musical reflecting their experiences, hopes and fears about their future. With incredible new music and exciting dance numbers designed to take maximum advantage of the big screen, this motion picture extravaganza delivers plenty of high-energy entertainment from East High's talented ensemble.

My Verdict:

Green Tea says:

It wasn't hard to understand why it should be a global phenomenon. High School Musical is like a brand - something that holds well. Fortunately, people will always remember it. I was caught by surprise that they want to release it in the cinema, rather than conventional TV film. So did the producers think it may works to fog out those cash? It seems work. All the casts returned as always and they are certainly bring the whole show alive, as if like without these kids, the show won't work. Awesome casts of young talent.

Story otherwise is a little bit disappointing. Wait, does it really has a story line anyway? The pace is a bit slow but it wasn't that boring. The plot line, according to one of my friend; said that everything must be done to coincide with each other and crash into each other junction, so typical Hollywood. Well I said, why not!! The attention is sometimes too much focus on Troy and Gabriella that I don't really understand how their conflicts of departing can be solved so easily. Simply Troy flies over a thousand miles to look for Gabriella?

Nevertheless, the music and cinematography simply make things better again. Needless to say, this is the best choreographed musical movie of the year. I enjoyed most of their songs and I hope they are radio-hit as well.
