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 More from Steven Gould The Jumper Soundtrack More from Fox Stills from Jumper Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Good Movie I was intrigued by the idea of jumping from place-to-place, and enjoyed the whole move: story line, production, special effects and especially the ending. A real interesting twist!!! Rating: - Anakin Skywalker Jumps ...And Falls ***CONTAINS SPOILERS*** Anakin Skywalker battles the forces of evil by using the force and ...Oh. Wait a minute. Wrong movie. Sorry `bout that. Well not truly sorry; just a tad peeved at this flick and how horribly it went astray. It is true, however, that the grim Hayden Christiansen of the new Star Wars fame is the main character (David Rice), and he has some unique abilities: he can jump through space/time at will, breakfasting on top of the Sphinx in Egypt, jumping back to his New York flat for luncheon pizza, then heading out to surf in Hawaii that same day ...or even hour if he wished it. He learns he has this power during his high school years (the young David is played by Max Thieriot - see The Astronaut Farmer) and nearly dies after falling through some thin river ice. He miraculously reappears in a local library, water and all, soaking book stacks. David was trying to retrieve a gift from the ice that he'd gotten for a girl he liked named Millie (Rachel Bilson), but he quickly learns that his jumping abilities make him something of a freak, and believes Millie would see him that way too. So he runs away and into the world. Once out amongst the populace he learns how to steal, including jumping into bank vaults and taking as much money as he will. But this also gains him notice by a secret society of men known as Paladins (look up Palatine and you'll find interesting parallels). The head of this religious order is a man named Roland (Samuel L. Jackson, ... Read More Rating: - Effects, yes. Acting..... er..... ummm... Light action movie featuring exotic locations and interesting modes of transportation seeks unsophisticated audience willing to overlook significant flaws such as acting and plot. Kids OK. Rating: - Leaves you with questions I'll be brief. This movie was entertaining to watch and it was fun. But it left me wondering if it came from a book. The movie leaves the watcher with too many questions unanswered. I will buy the book to figure out the movie. Rating: - Just really good and entertaining Everyone else gave reviews on this movie and seem to have covered it all. I am just going to say that my husband and I really enjoyed the movie and are happy to have it in our collection.
