Jumper

Friends asked to go for a movie at Leisure Mall yesterday. Title is "Jumper". It's a science fiction film based on the novel "Jumper" by Steven Gould. The plot goes much like this: A boy discovers he has the power to teleport himself. Boy learns to control his powers. And then he lives in idyllic life of leisure and travel until he discovers that people are chasing him, and that he is caught up in a war between people who can teleport, and those who have sworn to kill them.

Unfortunately, "Jumper" isn't much more than a geography tour. The story is well laid out. And the main character behaves in a believable way. Sadly, the action sequences aside is quite boring. But some of the graphics are still awesome and effects are quite stunning. There is no chemistry whatsoever between David and Milly, and their romantic relationship is unrealistic. And i feel that Rachel Bilson is too skinny to be the girl in this movie. Overall, the movie is entertaining especially when you had that sweet power to teleport. Keke..... Conclusion, keep your expectations low....
