Jumper

Honestly, I'm not the biggest fan of Hayden Christensen. He was one of the main reasons I hated the Star Wars Prequels and I can't stand people who are more famous for being pretty then their skills, but this movie his new movie Jumper actually looks good.

Basically, the idea of the movie is that there are people who have the ability to "jump " or teleport from one point to another at will (kind of like Hiro from Heroes without the time travel aspect). The main character, played by Christensen, has been using his powers for quite some time when he runs into another Jumper and ends up in the middle of a war. The war is between Jumpers and Paladins (people who pursue Jumpers and kill them), whose leader is played by Samuel L. Jackson.

The concept sounds decent and since this movie is based off a book, the story should actually be well thought out. The trailer is definitely flashy and exciting so I will probably buy a ticket on February 15, 2008 and check it out. Just call me a "consumer whore."

Here's the "flashy" trailer.
