 Jump Towards This Film For One Transporting Experience!, 2008-08-21
Jumper is a surprisingly entertaining movie for the "Superhero" genre fans. Not that Hayden Christensen wears a funny suit or saves people, he just would fit in with X-Men's Kitty Pride like a brother. He's known as a Jumper, a person with the ability to transport to any place on Earth just by thinking of it in an instant. However, since the dawn of time, these jumpers are hunted by a group known as Paladins, led by Samuel L. Jackson (sporting some of the most metallic silver hair this side of Steve Martin) who for no other reason hunt and kill the Jumpers down due to only tradition and envy. So after a few years of robbing banks and traveling the globe, he finally is spotted, escapes back home to his old girlfriend, meets up with another Jumper, and takes on the baddies once and for all.
Now normally I scoff at today's CGI effects, but this time it was done right. Every jump looked very neat and it always was a cool guessing game to think for a split second as to where they'd end up. The action sequences are well played out and the storyline's quick, to the point, and doesn't tend to drag anywhere. Sure, Christensen's acting still could use a little "jump" itself, but seemed to fit with the character here & Jackson can still play the hated bad guy better than most of his acting equals.
In conclusion, Jumper is a fun eye-candy movie. A cool and somewhat original story that keeps you interested throughout. Recommended to most, really close to a must-buy for fantasy/comic-book fans. Jump to it!
(RedSabbath Rating:8.5/10)
