Jumper sucked. Hard. The only good thing was the special effects. The rest of it was awful. I think it was adapted from a book, which may explain the plot holes and general disjointedness of the film (it seems like there was a whole lot that they left out), but Jesus, it was terrible. Glad I saw it at the matin?e price.

Idid> get to see the (censored) Indiana Jones trailer before the movie, though, so it was pretty cool seeing that on the big screen.

The guys were hot ! :woot:

I enjoyed the movie -- first decent one in a long time.

Didn't quite make sense why the 'religious' guys wanted to kill off the Jumpers.

Making a black guy an evil authority is getting to be a tired cliche too.

A sonic boom wouldn't happen in teleportation either.

Nice scenery.

Makes me wonder what keeps Jumpers from gazing at the Moon, and accidently teleporting ...

7/10

There would be no evolutionary advantage for being able to teleport to the moon. Those that ever did possess that ability would have died as a result of doing so before passing on their genes, leaving only those without the teleport-to-moon ability left to evolve.

Trailers made the movie look a lot better. Too much pointless dialog and not enough action, the few chases and fights were very entertaining though. I have to admit that Hayden "emo Darth Vader" Christensen is one of my least favorite actors which may have affected my judgment.

5/10 feels about right.

Wait until Obama is president and starts a war with Canada.

IMHO, they shouldn't have cast Samuel Jackson in the same movie with Hayden Christensen and given Samuel Jackson a lightsaber-looking thing. It was like they were purposely trying to link them back to Star Wars. I do find the idea of Samuel Jackson coming back for revenge after Anakin helped toss him out of that window kind of funny though.

"You shouldn't have thrown me out that window, mother******! Mother******* snakes!"

I enjoyed it. It definitely wasn't "Bourne" quality, but it was fun to watch none the less. Some of you need to get your heads out of your asses.

But I guess my opinion doesn't count because I get to see any and all movies for free (when they're in theaters).

The trailers for this movie definitely made it look better. The movie itself wasn't too good. It left me wondering why or how he got the ability. I rate it a 4/10. If only there was more explanation and less pointless dialogue. The action wasn't that great either.

He's joking about the difference in cost of living between California and Missouri. 1200sq ft houses don't cost half a million dollars in Missouri.

I understand but I'm not the normal missourian, my dad and mom prabably payed a CA price for our house and also I realized that I pay the student price for movie tickets so the normal price is prabably $10

And I did a little research and found out that Ca's min wage is $8 here it is $6.65, oh how I would love to have that

    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
