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.

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.

Rated: 4/10

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

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

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

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.
