Review of Jumper

Jumper (2008)
5/10
All FX -- No Story
18 February 2008
I was really looking forward to this film, as it seemed to have an interesting concept. However, the concept is basically all that is built in this movie, as it became just another film that relies on action and special effects too much and provides very little story. Further, in what little story was told the film raises far more questions than it answers and leaves the viewers to wonder why??? We are told there is a battle between two groups in this movie and other than the answer "that there has always been a battle" nothing more is explained. This is troublesome because it is the essential factor that is driving the film.

If you don't mind a movie that lacks any substance but provides mindless action and some cool effects, than JUMPER is for you. For those of you who can appreciate films that at least spend the time to answer the questions that they raise or that have a plot of some sort, spend your money elsewhere!
