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

- just saw it and its great!
i was very engrossed in this movie. i love hayden as an actor. the ability to teleport and come out winning at the end of the movie. great!
recommended for a cool break from this bad reality. its begging for a sequel.

- 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 ... Read More
Rating: - 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 in ... 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 find ... 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.
