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

All that Potential and Still a Subpar Movie
***mild spoiler***
I wanted to like Jumper, I really did, but something about it just made me shrug and think (that was a very long hr and a half). The action scenes have little bits of eye candy, but the plot's fairly terrible and the dialogue is instantly forgettable. I saw the movie all of one night ago and really the only line I can remember is something near the end where he seeks out his mother.
The main characters, David Rice and Mille, are off globe trotting after a brief barroom fight. That I can buy, or at least shrug off, but it seemed that the actor and actress had very little onscreen chemistry.
Nothing about the movie really, really annoyed me, which is why I give it a 2 star review, but nothing impressed me either.
Jumper Great Movie and Ahead of its time
This is a Phenominal Movie that will keep you interested, it is action packed great special effects and eaven a little bit of a love story to it. Very Great and is eaven a family film but there is violence so use your discression.
