“Jumper”

Jumper was pretty decent. I have been looking forward to it ever since I saw the trailer the first time and I guess the movie is about as good as the trailer. The concept of a small amount of people having the power to teleport is of course very cool, too bad that they all seem to be pretty egocentric people. I really liked the poke at this from a TV newscast in the movie; you see people being caught up in a disaster and needing to be rescued with a comment like “who will rescue them?” from the reporter.

I would like to have seen more of the background of the war between the Jumpers and the Paladins. The story definitely needs that pretty badly, and also some more insight on why David behaves as he does. I did like the movie though, it was highly entertaining and had nice special effects. The ending did suck, didn’t like it much, but it clearly points toward the rumoured sequel.

My rating is 3.5 stars out of 5.
