Jumper 2 of 5 Stars
Released: February 2008
Runtime: 88 minutes
Rated: PG-13 (violence, language & sexuality)

Jumper has obviously taken a cue from another recent sci-fi movie, Cloverfield, and clocks in at under ninety minutes.  And much like Cloverfield, this movie is all about the action and the special effects.  But this is not a bad thing because the action happens so quickly you really don’t care about the who or, in the case of Jumper, even the why (more on that later).

Based on the Steven Gould novel, Jumper tells the story of David (Hayden Christiansen) who mysteriously has the power to transport himself from one location to another at will.  Learning about his “gift” quite by accident David begins to take advantage of his unique ability by jumping into bank vaults and taking enough cash to ensure a very comfortable life.

Just as mysteriously as David discovers his ability, than the chase starts between himself and the Paladins – a secret group whose sole existence is to hunt down and destroy jumpers such as David.  Yes, surprise, we discover David is not the only jumper.  Led by Roland (Samuel L Jackson) the Paladins begin to track David and fellow jumper Griffin (Jamie Bell) around the globe.  Of course, the obligatory love interest is introduced along the way but we are given so much in so little time we forgive the rather formulaic and not unpredictable storyline.

Director Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity and Mr and Mrs Smith) goes for non-stop action but very little in the way of character development.  The one-dimensional (no pun intended) feel of the movie though works well in a comic-book kind of way and the special effects are top notch. 

Interestingly given all of the special effects in the movie it was mostly on location including one pivotal scene shot inside the Roman Colosseum.  Apparently this access to the Colosseum was unprecedented although the film makers were not permitted to allow anything to actually touch the ground inside the amphitheater’s labyrinth. 

Of course the big question remains unanswered throughout the show – why does David have these abilities in the first place.  We are given hints as to some of the origin of his teleportation powers but it is very clear in the end that we are being set-up for a sequel.

As far as I am concerned though they can forget the sequel and make this into a television series instead.  With the recent demise of Journeyman on network television there is a huge hole where a really good time travel, sci-fi show should exist.  Oh to bring back the glory days of Quantum Leap. 

And note to the television network brass:  if you can’t afford Christiansen and Jackson for the small screen version (or even convince them to do television) it doesn’t matter in the end as it’s not the characters that drive Jumper but the circumstances that the characters find themselves.
