a5c7b9f00b A teenager with teleportation abilities suddenly finds himself in the middle of an ancient war between those like him and their sworn annihilators.
Twenty-something David Rice has known for eight years, since he was a teenager in high school in Ann Arbor, that he could teleport himself to anywhere in the world at anytime, this skill which he stumbled upon by happenstance at a most opportune time. He honed his abilities so that he could get away from his high school bullies and his alcoholic single father - his mother who abandoned them when David was five - by stealing money to live a lavish, adventurous, new life in New York City, with everyone from his old life believing him dead. He decides to return to Ann Arbor to reconnect with his high school friend/crush, Millie Harris, and give her the travel adventures she always wanted. He does sohe values his life even more now after discovering that someone is after him and seemingly trying to kill him, that person who knows that he is a "jumper". David learns that he is not alone, that there are fellow jumpers in the world, who are in a war with this man, Roland, and his well organized, high tech and motivated group of religious fanatics, the Paladins, who believe jumpers are an aberration to be destroyed. David may be further illuminated about his situation by someone from his distant past. He also quickly figures out that by bringing Millie back into his life, he has placed her in mortal danger. Although he doesn't want to tell her the entire truth, David also has to decide if telling her the truth would be a safer option for her than not.
Just enjoy the film for what it is. It's a fictional story in a scenario that obviously isn't real, just enjoy it. Really deserved a second film to finish the open ends. Even better make the 3rd book also. A real shame they stopped at one.
Jumpers is not a film about hot wiring vehicles, although at times you'd be forgiven for thinking it was. The thrust of the action involved Samuel L Jackson running around armed with electrics and a knife (and channelling Dennis Rodman through his scalp). Like one or two of the loonier characters Jackson has been required to play, this guy - called Roland! - doesn't really have a rational basis for trying to annihilate the Jumpers of the title. Rather, he just sees themblasphemous.<br/><br/>Hmm. On the other side of the logic worm-hole is Hayden Christensen toning down the playboy lifestyle his 'gift' affords him in order to try and score the childhood sweetheart. Jamie Bell shows up because the film could use some charisma (Rachel Bilson might have sufficed had she had long enough to make a mark). The denouement and epilogue are over-the-top, dramatically limp and sequel-begging inconclusive/daft (I blame Bourne for that one).<br/><br/>That said, it's a pacey film with well-incorporated effects. A central montage sequence that uses the locations already visited for a luxurious, manic chase is nicely put together. And,I say, Jamie Bell's great fun. 5/10
Jumper proves disappointingly inert. All the state-of-the-art visual effects in the world can't compensate for spotty plotting and bland characters that prevent an intriguing premise from going the distance.
This film was loosely adapted from the novel Jumper by <a href="/name/nm2092479/">Steven Gould</a>. Gould's book is the first of a series. In early 2005, <a href="/name/nm0333060/">David S. Goyer</a> was hired to adapt the first novel in Steven Gould's series. His adaptation hewed close to the book, but the studio didn't like it. The studio hired <a href="/name/nm0880243/">Jim Uhls</a> to improve the characterizations and <a href="/name/nm1334526/">Simon Kinberg</a> to improve the action scenes. No. The "jumpers" in this movie can teleport themselves, just like Nightcrawler. But there are differences. Nightcrawler can teleport himself, and any objects and persons he is contact with; but his range is only two miles, at most, under normal conditions because it is line-of-sight based (He can only teleport to places he can see at the time. Otherwise,he told Storm in <a href="/title/tt0290334/">X2</a>, he "might end up inside a wall."). Nightcrawler uses a "shortcut" through an alternate dimension called Limbo, which is similar to Hell and accounts for the smoke and the smell of brimstone that accompany his teleportations. Nightcrawler also possesses advanced agility and reflexes, a fully prehensile tail, and, similar to Spider-Man, the ability to stick to ceilings, walls and other surfaces.<br/><br/>The jumpers, on the other hand, can teleport themselves, or any objects and persons they are in contact with, to anywhere they've been or can visualize, through a short-lived wormhole. Their range is apparently unlimited. At least, it is unlimitedlongthey stay on Earth. Whether jumpers can teleport to, say, the Apollo 11 landing site in the Sea of Tranquility on the Moon or Olympus Mons on Mars is unknown, though director Doug Liman has spoken of how sequels may show that Jumpers can reach other planets and travel in time.<br/><br/>Nightcrawler is a mutant who lives in a world of mutants. The only known mutants (or metahumans for that matter) in Jumper are the jumpers. A much closer phenomenon, physics-wise, to the jumps we see in this film would actually be the FTL jumps on <a href="/title/tt5508780/">Ron Moore</a>'s and <a href="/name/nm0251594/">David Eick</a>'s re-imagined <a href="/title/tt0407362/">Battlestar Galactica</a>, although those are obviously on a much grander scale. To better understand the Jumper universe, the novels Jumper (1993), Reflex (2004) and Impulse (2013), all written by <a href="/name/nm2092479/">Steve Gould</a>. Yes. <a href="/title/tt1143900/">Jumper: Griffin's Story</a> is available for the Xbox 360, Playstation 2, and Wii gaming consoles. The game was released February 12, 2008, two days before the film's release. "Stompbox" by The Qemists. He is,it would stand to reason, speaking metaphorically, in that there are Paladins located all over the world in all kinds of social circles, he being a high-ranking relentless one of them. To use <a href="/title/tt1520211/">The Walking Dead</a>an analogy, Roland mightwell be to the Paladins,Negan is to the Saviors.
