Jumper

From IMDB:

A genetic anomaly allows a young man to teleport himself anywhere. He discovers this gift has existed for centuries and finds himself in a war that has been raging for thousands of years between “Jumpers” and those who have sworn to kill them.

Well, it wasn’t my choice to go see the movie, and my mind wasn’t changed by the time the credits rolled.

While the movie was entertaining, there were just too many gaps in storyline. I understand the need to just leave things up to assumption for time purposes, but they just left too much out there.

There were some pretty awesome fight scenes though. And on another plus side, they somehow managed to keep Haden Christensen from saying much–Hayden is great at being angsty, but he can’t do much past that. In fact, if/when you see the movie, take note of how little dialogue there actually is!

I loved the idea behind it, and they had a lot of great story to work with, but they just sort of dropped it. And the big ‘twist’ just wasn’t very enthralling. In the end, I just wasn’t satisfied.

I guess this is just one to add to the list of movies that have great potential but don’t even really seem to try to reach it…
