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

    • I disagree here sorry. The majority of their customers are corporations who are locked in to their eco system and have no choice. Private individuals don't contribute that much to their income.
    • Weekend PC Game Deals: Anno 117, Final Fantasy VII, Rematch, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Weekend PC Game Deals is where the hottest gaming deals from all over the internet are gathered into one place every week for your consumption. So kick back, relax, and hold on to your wallets. The Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways may have ended, but its regular freebies didn't miss a step this week. The double drop was for copies of Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. Speed Freeks lands for multiplayer racing fans, but with plenty of competitive shooting elements too. You will be piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures while trying to complete objectives and pass finish lines. Next, Ouroboros King is a crossover between chess and tactical roguelikes, offering the chance to create your own army with special rules to beat incoming foes on the board. The double giveaway on the Epic Games Store will be available until June 11, and replacing it will be Citizen Sleeper and ROBOBEAT. The Humble Store brought a new charity bundle to check out this week too. Landing with the name The Complete Inkle Library, this is a large collection of interactive narrative puzzle games from the publisher Inkle. This begins with Heaven's Vault, four parts from the Sorcery series, 80 Days, Overboard, and Pendragon: Narrative Tactics within the starting tier for $9. Hopping up a step to the $12 tier gets you TR-49, Expelled, and A Highland Song for paying at least $12. If you go for the $20 tier, you get four e-books from the Heaven's Vault series.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
