Aimless David Rice (Hayden Christensen) has the ability to instantly transport himself to any place he can imagine. He uses that gift to globe-trot, living on money he steals by "jumping" into bank vaults. He's captured by the evil Roland Cox (Samuel L. Jackson), who knows how to keep David from jumping. David escapes and reunites with his high school crush, Millie (Rachel Bilson), then forms an alliance with fellow jumper Griffin (Jamie Bell) and prepares for mortal combat with Cox.

Critics Consensus

Featuring uninvolving characters and loose narrative, Jumper is an erratic action pic with little coherence and lackluster special effects.

Andrew Pulver

Guardian

An elegantly idiotic sci-fi thriller that initially feels as though it might have derived from Philip K Dick -- but lacks the master's lysergic idiosyncracy.

Ebert & Roeper

The disappointments and the inexplicable plot turns kept mounting until I finally surrendered and just admitted it: This was just a goodlooking clunker.

One day, I feel sure, the rich mantle of charisma will descend upon [Hayden Christensen], but Jumper is not that occasion.

The Post NZ

I'm still not sure how writers of the calibre of David S. Goyer (Batman Begins), Jim Uhls (Fight Club) and Simon Kinberg (Mr and Mrs Smith) have made such a mess.

Rated: 1.5/5

Frustration over how easily the end product could have been tweaked for the better threatens to negate any positives.

Underrated movie imo. Doesn't get everything right but it is overall a solid little movie. Seeing ironheart rate much higher than this is hilarious.

Jumper is an underrated sci-fi gem that deserves way more credit than it gets. From the very first scene, it hooks you with the ultimate fantasy: teleportation. Imagine being able to go anywhere in the world instantly—this movie brings that dream to life with thrilling visuals and non-stop action. Hayden Christensen is great as David Rice, a relatable antihero who learns to bend the rules of space and time to his will. The cinematography is stunning, with fast-paced "jumps" that take you from snowy mountaintops to the heart of Rome in seconds. And let’s not forget Samuel L. Jackson, who brings serious intensity as the mysterious villain determined to stop jumpers for good. What makes Jumper stand out isn’t just the cool powers—it’s the feeling of freedom, rebellion, and living outside the system. It’s fun, smart, and filled with potential for an expanded universe. If you're into action, sci-fi, or just want a movie that feels like pure escape, Jumper is a must-watch.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes para fazer o filme ser bom.
