Jumper
A young man (Hayden Christensen) develops a special power, hyper jumps through space, and tries to save his beloved. Believing this youth is being seduced by the dark side, a warrior (Samuel L. Jackson) wielding a super charged taser stick tangle in a desperate fight trying to kill off each other. Shades of Star Wars, is this a sequel to Episode III? Nah, it’s the latest sci-fi special effects thriller where Paladins (religious zealots) hunt down Jumpers (teleporters). The premise is great. The script is weak. Christensen still can’t act. Diane Lane is wasted in a bit part. But the special effects are stunning and bring new meaning to global conflict. See Jumpers zip to London, Rome, Egypt, Tokyo, New York City, and Ann Arbor, Michigan in a blink of an eye. Surely, there will be a wormhole opening created to jump these characters into an anticipated sequel.
Alien gives it 2 ½ “jump scar” stars out of 4.
