But things turn deadly when David finds himself pursued by a secret organization sworn to kill Jumpers. Forming an uneasy alliance with another Jumper he becomes a player in a war that has been raging for thousands of years.System Requirements:Running Time: 88 minutesFormat: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/FUTURISTIC Rating: PG-13 UPC: 024543520917 Manufacturer No: 2252091 Amazon.com: As preposterous action movies go, Jumper is pleasantly unpretentious and breezily entertaining. A young man named David (Hayden Christensen) discovers he has the power to teleport (or "jump") anywhere he can visualize. After using this power to steal and make a comfortable life for himself, he pursues the girl he longed for in school (Rachel Bilson, The O. C.). But as he does so, another jumper (Jamie Bell, Billy Elliot) and a pack of fanatical jumper-hunters called paladins (led by a white-haired Samuel L. Jackson) crashes into David's freewheeling life. Jumper wastes no time trying to explain how jumping works or delving into the hows and whys of the paladins; this is an alluring fantasy of power directed at a pell-mell pace by Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Go). There's a brief moment when it feels like the movie will bog down in romance and vague gestures towards character development--happily, that's the moment when Bell appears and the whole movie shifts into overdrive. You might wish that Bell and Christensen had swapped roles; Bell has a far more engaging personality, and Christensen's bland good looks might better suit a more aggressive character. Nonetheless, Jumper has oodles of dynamism and nifty visual effects to propel its comic-book storyline forward. A variety of recognizable actors in bit parts (such as Diane Lane and Kristen Stewart, Panic Room) suggest that the filmmakers are laying the groundwork for sequels. Based on a critically-acclaimed science-fiction novel by Steven Gould. --Bret Fetzer Beyond Jumper

![]() Rating: - Full of possibilities, but misses all of them!Time-traveling, teleporting. I've been always kind of a sucker for these sci-fi premises. What would you do if you could teleport yourself to basically any place on the face of the earth? Steven Gould, in his novel Jumper, uses this premise and gives his characters the innate ability to instantly teleport themselves. It is definitely an interesting foundation, however, Director Doug Liman and screenwriters David S. Goyer, Jim Uhls and Simon Kinberg do little to exploit this promising idea, and come ...

Watching this movie made you want to go see the dentist as that would be a better story with a good ending. If you have two hours to kill watch the Muppets in Space, it was better Sci-fi then this. Rating: - wanted morethis is not a bad movie and its not a great movie. i tried to like this movie more than i actually did. the main character was so forgetable that i really did not care about what happens to him. the acting was really weak except for jamie bell who held the movie together. it was really short and had all the potential in the world but it missed the mark Rating: - Great Movie!!If you like science fiction and adventure, this is a must get movie. I love movies in that genre so i basically had to go see it...and i wasnt disappointed. I really liked the movie and had few ways to think of how they could have made it better. This movie will definetly have you amazed and thinking..."damn, i wonder if they will ever have the ability to really do this??" A must have blu-ray to add to your collection! Rating: - Great idea squanderedWhat if an average guy from Ann Arbor, Michigan discovers at age 15 that he has the ability to travel instantaneously to other locations? How would he handle that ability? Those questions are answered in "Jumper," directed by Doug Liman. "Jumper" is based on an intriguing premise: a person has the ability to teleport himself at will to anywhere in the world, whether it be just a few feet away in his apartment or thousands of miles across the globe. Sounds like a quality belonging to a spandex ... Read More |
