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.

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.

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.

1.5/5

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.

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

its a fun movie but not all that good. they have a weird obsession with the number 5. apparently everything happens when your 5 and too many things dont make much sense and are kinda dumb. but all in all it is a fun movie to watch even though by the end it kinda leaves you unfulfilled.

A complex and interesting concept that would be hard to ruin, but they somehow did because of the the directing being so messy and shaky, weak acting, underdeveloped villain with an under-explored motivation, a weak damsel-in-distress love interest, rushed emotional weight, and underdeveloped characters.

I really liked this movie. It's a fun action sci-fi globe traversing banger. It's swinging big and is unapologetically cheesy at times. Definitely a worth watch

Bella swan cameo really sold it I really liked the British guy, my favourite line is “fish and chips oi mate” it sold the film to me Roland is a better more developed villain than thanos, he really sold it for me I liked seeing Hayden Christiansen’s pits
