Jumper
Jumper is a movie about a boy who discovers that he has the ability to teleport. As a teen, the main character, played by Hayden Christensen , discovers that there is a war between people like him that can teleport, “Jumpers”, and those who are trying to kill them. Samuel L. Jackson leads those who are hunting the Jumpers and he is a good choice for that character. The plot is interesting and the visual effects are pretty stunning. I don’t think the movie provided enough of a back-story of how the two sides came to be, we were just thrown into this chase around the world with very little explanations. I also found the ending of the movie open-ended like they were already planning for a sequel and it just didn’t satisfy me.
About 16% of critics on RottenTomatoes recommended Jumper and I would give it a score of 6.5.
