Product Description:
THE SCIENCE FICTION THRILLER LEAPS INTO A NEW REALM WITH JUMPER, WHICH BEGINS THE EPIC ADVENTURES OF A MAN WHO DISCOVERS THAT HE POSSESSES THE EXHILARATING ABILITY TO INSTANTLY TELEPORT ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD HE CAN IMAGINE.
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

- A Fresh New Plot
Every once in a while, people grow tired of the same old string of popular yet over-used super-heroes: Spider-Man, Hulk, Bat-Man. And when someone comes up with an idea for a super-hero movie not based on Stan Lee's stuff or anything else, it is extremely rare, yet they often turn out to be junk.
"Jumper" is definitely not in the category of famous, celebrated super-heroes, yet you can't put it in the "junk" category. It's a fresh new idea, no over-used plots of characters, with the ... Read More

- Interesting DVD
Enjoyed the concept of the movie, will watch it over and over. excellent, looking forward to a sequel. hope they film one.
Rating: - Heck, go ahead and jump in...
With the plot of "Jumper" recapped several times throughout this Amazon review section, let's just "jump" right into my thoughts on this little bugger. Blink and it's over movie, blink and it's over review... appropriate no?Anyway, away we go...
This fast-paced (but not ridiculously fast-paced as the trailer seemed to indicate) X-Men style adventure is worth a look for its solid premise, edgy characters, and exciting confrontations.I especially liked the occasional nods in the direction ... Read More

- Watchable, but deeply flawed
I can see why this got crap reviews when it came out, it was mildly entertaining but was filled with SO many plot holes and unanswered questions. It's like they came up with this really cool concept for a story and couldn't be bothered filling in the gaps. The Jumpers "jump" all over the place and NO ONE seems to notice, even though they teleport in the middle of huge crowds. They are always teleporting OTHER random innocent bystanders to other parts of the world with ZERO consequences and we knew NOTHING ... Read More
