The trailer was interesting... special effects were out of this world... his (jump) abilities were damn cool... something that I guess a lot of people would want to have... cos if I REALLY have his 'power', I would jump right out the the box-office and demand my money back! Cos the movie SUCKED BIG TIME!!

In short, a genetic abnormality allows a young man to teleport himself anywhere. He discovers this gift has existed for centuries and finds himself in a war that has been raging for thousands of years between 'Jumpers' and 'Paladins' who have sworn to kill them. To his amazement the Paladins have shock nets and whips to tie down Jumpers so they cannot Jump.

The movie did not explain a lot of things. why was he abandoned at 5? how is he related to Griffin (another jumper)? did the dad die? did samuel l. jackson get out of the grand canyon eventually? who are the paladin and why do they want to kill jumpers?

With so many unanswered questions, the whole movie became a over-hyped travelogue instead... so if you're into travelogues, you might find it interesting... but then again, nothing compared to National Geographics.

I want my money back!

P.S. There was a man watching the movie last night... i think he got too excited after the credits rolled, and did a jump (over the rows of cinema seats)... but then, he tripped on the arm rest, broke it and almost fell down...
