Jumper

I just saw the movie Jumper on DVD tonight. Great concept! I remember getting so excited about the movie when I watched the trailer. However, I rarely make it out to the theaters so I have to wait for Netflix.

I ended up fast forwarding through a lot of it. Mainly because I didn't believe the "connection" between the Jumper and the his love interest. Also, there was so little character development that I didn't care about the Jumper. And when the Jumper hunters (Paladins) finally catch up, the Jumper makes stupid mistake after stupid mistake.

If this is suppose to be character development, it did a poor job of it. I fast forwarded much of action and still got the gist of the movie. At the end, I wanted my 90 minutes back.

Seeing the trailer, great movie! After seeing the movie, not feeling the same. Count me out of the sequel unless the nerds endorse it.
