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

- Left me ambivalent.
I love this 'theme'. This idea. The beginning was cool. Some effects were cool. I'm such a science fiction freak I will generally watch even pretty bad movies without complaint, just happy to have a little more of my genre make the big screen.
Yet... my 12 year old and I watched this. The plot... needed help so badly even she was scornful. It's one of those cases where the only reason the plot works at all is because the writers make all the characters uncommunicative morons, who get ... Read More
Rating: - A very silly plot; Good special effects
Short Attention Span Summary:
1. A boy is being smacked about by a Neighborhood Bully.
2. During this smacking around, he discovers that he has the power to jump from one place to another.
3. He uses this power to steal some things and make a good life for himself.
4. There come these people that (for some reason that is never explained) want to kill the Jumpers.
5. The first Jumper meets another jumper who is more experienced and we ... Read More

- Jumper is a definite bummer
I'd give it 1/2 a star if I could. This movie was absolutely atrocious; the dialogue was abysmal and laughable, the 'heroine' stunk, there was absolutely no point in Diane Lane's character, no reason for a lot of it really. An annoying waste of time with no redeeming qualities except for some cool special effects, an idea that has potential but didn't see it realized here and, of course, the good-looking Hayden Christensen. Just stay away.
Rating: - I didn't get what I ordered.
I ordered the Jumper Two Disc Special Edition + Digital Copy and I received the regular one disc edition with no digital copy.It would have been nice to know they weren't sending what was pictured or what I ordered.

- Better than expected
Jumper is an action-adventure story about a man who can teleport from one location to another at will just by thinking about it.The movie chronicles the life of this "jumper" from the day he learned of his ability while in school, through his exploits using his skills, to his final confrontation with his mother, who is a paladin; someone who hunts down and kills jumpers.Our jumper is played by Hayden Christiansen, who puts in another fine job that again demonstrates he is a good actor, contrary ...
