| Synopsis:
The science fiction thriller leaps to a new realm with Jumper, which begins the epic adventures of a man who discovers that he has the exhilarating ability to instantly teleport anywhere in the world he can imagine. From New York to Tokyo, from the ruins of Rome to the heart of the Saharan Desert, anywhere is possible for David Rice (Hayden Christensen), until he begins to see his freedom is not total, and that he's not alone... but part of an ongoing, global war that threatens the very survival of his rare and extraordinary kind. |

 So under-rated! This was a magnificent movie! April 28, 2008

I got excited the moment I saw the jumper trailer! The story looked cool yet I was prepared for a letdown at the theaters because of the stupid "super-hero" feel I got from the trailer. I was amazed how good it was, and it totally did not feel like some rip-off super-hero flick. The acting was perfect along with the effects. The romance was sweet and short, with an amazing twist at the end. It did feel like there was something small missing at the end and made me realize they probably will make a second movie (which I hope never comes). Jumper is perfect the way it is. I could be wrong a second could be great. I just don't want something to ruin this one.
I truly cant believe what the ratings on here are... This is one of my top ten favorite movies of all time! Most of my friends agree and loved it. Comedy, Sci-fi, Romance, and action all not going too far.
This will be on my dvd shelf forever! Check it out.

"Jumper" was a film that I enjoyed so much that I went back to see it in the theatre a second time. I'm so glad that I have the great DVD. Doug Liman had directed another favorite of mine, Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Widescreen Edition). In adapting Steven Gould's novel, the current executive producer of TV's new "Knight Rider" series planned for a three-part picture franchise. Hayden Christensen who came to prominence as Anakin Skywalker in Episodes II & III of "Star Wars" and earned a Golden Globe Best Supporting Actor nomination for 2001's "Life as a House" plays David Rice, a young man who can teleport instantly. We learn a back history of war between the jumpers and those out to destroy them, the Paladins. Samuel L. Jackson who was great in S.W.A.T. (Widescreen Special Edition) and got a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for "Pulp Fiction" plays the white-haired Roland who hunts David. David's high school heartthrob is Millie played by TV's "O.C." Rachel Bilson who was also excellent in The Last Kiss (Widescreen Edition). David runs into another jumper played by Jamie Bell who won the British Best Actor Academy Award for "Billy Elliott" and also appeared in Clint Eastwood's "Flags of Our Fathers." Diane Lane has what is essentially a cameo that would be sure to grow if there is a second film. She plays David's mother Mary who is a Paladin. She loves her son, but also has vowed to kill him. Michael Rooker has a great cameo as the alcoholic father William Rice. Oscar nominee Tom Hulce from 1984's "Amadeus" plays Mr. Bowlker. I really enjoyed this non-stop action flick and loved the great effects from the British double-decker bus that suddenly bursts into the desert to the great fight scene that lands Griffin & David in Iraq. This is an excellent film that promises to become a great film series. Enjoy!

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.
