I was going to complain about Jumper - about Hayden Christensen's awful intro narration, the shallow characters and plot development, the pacing that was just off - but then I realized that those aren't the problems with this movie. The problem is that the special effects are too good. This is a great low-grade sci fi action film trapped in a high-grade sci fi budget. With a tenth of the funds they could have made a truly great D-grade sci fi film. Instead, they just made an awful B-grade movie.
I can't wait for the sequel, assuming of course that its funding gets sliced.
Jumper
2008, 88 minutes, directed by Doug Liman
