Jumper
tells the story of David Rice, discovering he can jump to other
locations with powers to teleport himself into bank vaults and
make off with lots of cash that enables him to live the high
life -- jumping all over the globe.
It never explains how and why; the science
behind teleportation is never made clear.
It's hard to overlook the overall nonsense
of this story, but it should work out for the younger set.
Scissors down for myself. |
Jumper
is the worst kind of bad movie -- one with potential that never
goes anywhere.
Sure, it has bad acting, an interesting
concept, and, oh yeah, Samuel Jackson in a white wig.
But there's hardly enough meat on this
fantasy bone to even sink one's tooth into.
Completely awful! |
The logic of this science-fiction movie
is based on a childhood escape fantasy that simply didn't work
for me.
In my view, I couldn't find the real point
or the essential part of anything in this film.
There's no real behavior in this comic
book material, just endless movement brought off with empty skill.
In other words, it's all concept and no
substance. |
