next one please 7/29/2008 this was a cool movie that forgot to have a plot. The idea is great, the special effect are very cool, but you are just left expecting another movie to do a flash back and tell you what is going on and why. Thank You. Was this review helpful?

I was brand new to the world, and so, I was probably able to better appreciate the film for what it is. It's fun. Yes, there are major questionable script choices made (lack of an in-depth explanation about the Paladins), and a lack of background into why Jumpers exist. However, in some ways, that works for this film - for one thing, Jumpers are almost taken as a fact-of-life in the film, and any heavy in-depth explanations might have eroded the film's one strength - that you could almost believe it is grounded in reality. Almost. The story itself lacks direction somewhat - although, it is understandable as this film is meant to set up the Jumper Universe (based on the special feature commentary, they saw this as a possible trilogy). The first half of the film focuses heavily on the "what ifs" - with everything playing out realistically. I mean, just imagine what YOU would do if you could jump anywhere? We all would like to believe we would be noble and not misuse that power, but come on, it would be like someone handing you a lottery ticket and you not cashing it. The second part actually digs into the universe itself, and the war between Jumpers and the Paladins - although the war is just mostly hinted at, rather than it being shown as an all out confligration. The transfer of the film into HD is good. Detail quality is good, and the film is pretty clean overall. I personally think Jumper will satisfy most sci-fi/hero lovers, so I definetly recommend this film. Hopefully, more films will be made to round up this interesting universe. Thank You.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: THEY TRIPPED WHILE ATTEMPTING LEAPS OF FAITH 7/29/2008 One is immediately drawn to the thrilling premise based on the eponymous Stephen Gould novel (with liberal dilutions to the story) about a young lad named David who can teleport himself. One then sees the star-studded crew behind this caper and is almost certain to savor it: the director of The Bourne Identity, and script writers of Fight Club, Batman Begins and Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Yet, despite all that they ought to have had going for themselves, somehow these cooks managed to make a stunning scattershot mess of this sci-fi broth. They decided, I suppose, that a movie named Jumper would do well with a jumpy screenplay. Why trouble yourself with exploring the socio-psychological ramifications of teleportation or some such meaningful effort, when you can opt for a wannabe-epic adventure targeted at the nose-pierced crowd? Landscapes switch at 60,000 frames per second. Our hero has lunch in Rome only to digest it all while surfing in Fiji. You know how it works. The teleporting bits are fine, but how a puny little teenager who was chronically ragged by bullies at school learned to do all the funky stuff at will, goes a trifle unexplained. Soon enough, our supra-hero discovers that his abilities have landed him in the persecuted half of an old historic war. Sigh. On one side are his band of teleporting buddies called Jumpers -- all mysteriously young and fit, one quite thoughtfully a British (where were the token black and Chinese buddies?). On the other side are efficient "Paladins" organized to demolish them. The chief Paladin is a self-same Samuel Jackson sporting a silver crew-cut. Now, for some uncommon reason, David has a nice revealing collection of photographs at home. Snapshots of *all* the places in the world to which he "jumps". Which naturally aids our chief Paladin's search. But not before a romantic angle is tossed in as David takes his high-school girlfriend out to Rome for a swing -- they fly regular Northwest of course, despite the hunt on for his arrest at NSA level. The plot holes are large enough for obese teleporters to jump through. Christensen, an actor chosen clearly to appeal to the younger Star Wars fans, would have done well to consider a repertoire of at least two facial expressions. The final 15 minutes or so have so much rammed into them, with pulse-pounding heavy metal music of course, that one wonders if the film was about to overrun its deadline and had to be chip-chopped in a rush. The loud hints at the end suggest that there might be a Jumper II. Optimistic as that may be, one hopes they will rope in someone else to write, direct, act in, and score it. The theme and Stephen Gould surely deserve better. Thank You. Was this review helpful?

The way they end it, it seems like it. Plus, watching in in high definition does make a big difference. Thank You. Was this review helpful?
2 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Special Effects didn't save it 7/25/2008 I have three good word of advice: READ THE BOOK The book was written in 1992, I first read it in 1994. Since then I have re-read this book several times. The book is rich with story, emotion and the details to breath life into the characters. I really used to hope that someday this story could be turned into a movie. Now I just wish they would re-title this movie because, unfortunatly, it is such a weak distortion of the book. Please don't waste your time with the movie, just read the book. Thank You. Was this review helpful?
