Jumper

[Grand Moff Muffin]

Found it quite watchable. A modest film that doesn't try to pretend to be an epic spectacle, but rather a short science-fiction story that explores the ideas it wants to explore in efficient fashion, and then ends.

The script is very tight with no padding, and the plot progresses at a satisfying step. The special effects are good, and only used to assist the story. There are no effects scenes for the sake of having effects.

Performances decent enough, and ending refreshingly open.

I would think anyone interested in seeing a different slant on the mutant/human conflict from X-Men, but in a more understated, non-superhero way, would find it worth a watch.

Thanks mate, this is no officially on my 'To See' list.


EDIT: I'd love to be able to teleport. It's my dream.

I'm surprised this went to number one in the box office charts, Mark Kermode slated it and I've seen hardly any advertising for it.

Seems to have been promoted more in the cinemas themselves, than on the street, at least where I work. And any advertising I've seen makes no reference to Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu being in it, which makes me want to see it a lot more than any other factor.

Well, I saw Jumper, but it was a bit poo. I'm very disappointed in Hayden.
