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

    • Why should simply opening the Action Center ... require any significant amount of CPU cycles? Too many are ignoring the elephant in the room: today's CPUs may have similar clock frequencies to CPUs from a decade ago (~4 to 5 GHz), but they run with far higher performance per clock, even on the smallest E-cores. The Action Center is a static, minor desktop element. It ought to open instantly on any CPU made in the past 2.5 decades at even low clocks. Opening a program? Boost away. Unzipping a file? Boost to your heart's content. Right-clicking the notification area? This should be an ultra-efficient, low-impact event that opens instantly. Compare today's UI elements to Windows 7 UI elements. Today's UI elements hardly do anything more substantial or important or critical, yet now require modern-day processors to jump half a GHz to reduce their latency.
    • This is not an option lmao: it is part of the KB5094126 update, pushed to all users. There is no GUI to configure it. Reading the article should be required for commenting.
    • Can you recommend me a good Pixel 7 on eBay? Because some are saying Gen 1, and I don't think that's what I want, right?
    • Close, but it is for any application starting, not just during boot time. In fact, it probably will not improve boot time at all because during a boot, the CPU is already boosting, so a pre-boost wouldn't change anything. I agree that it isn't exciting (especially considering every other OS already does it), but it is a good thing, even if they are just playing catch up.
    • Any so called performance increase will be in milliseconds, which nobody will actually notice in real world usage.
