how would you like to "jump" to any site that you've seen? that's what one boy discovers he can do. when he grows up, he finds that there is someone out to kill all the jumpers. this movie deals with how he evades the hunter, with the help of another jumper who has found him. there is a big twist at the end.
not sure about any one else, but watching all of the jump special effects gave me a headache  this was a good premise for a movie, but the plot and end left a little to be desired.

This story just went on and on and on, never really was a ending, all that fast jumping just caused me a headache, I give it about a c- and that is being kind.

I just finished watching this. Got to agree.. the ending left a lot to be desired. The plot was... well was there a plot? Lots of action, but poor overall story.
C+ - B-

It wasn't the effects that were annoying, it was the incredible stupidity of the characters that was annoying. I was rooting for Jackson to kill him just for being such an idiot. The ending was so blase and so pointless that it really seems like the writers just gave up and quit or went to smoke another doobie.
I really fail to understand why Hayden Christiansen keeps getting leading man roles. He and Jar Jar Binx basically destroyed the first episodes of Star Wars and his wooden acting and complete lack of ability to portray a romantic lead continue on into this film. I never believed for a second that there was any kind of romantic chemistry between him and Bilson. I really hope that the casting guys are starting to catch on. |

Hmm, this is disappointing. I had high hopes for this movie - guess it's just another let down. It could have been awesome - great concept.

It was pretty lame. The premise was ok but the execution never worked.
