Jumper

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars * * * 1/2

About this movie:
A genetic anomaly allows a young man to teleport himself anywhere. He discovers this gift has existed for centuries and finds himself in a war that has been raging for thousands of years between “Jumpers” and those who have sworn to kill them.

Theme:
Samuel Jackson played the bad detective cope whose job was to catch and kill people who has teleportation gifting because he believes that only God should possessed such power to be "omnipresence" and be any where at any one time. However Samuel forgot to ask himself the question, "If God should only be ominipresence than why did God allow people to have this power too?" The answer is not about what gifts people have but about what are you going to do with the gifts that you have. Will we waste our talents by doing nothing about it or use our God given talents for a good or a bad cause? If I had the gift of teleportation, I would use it to bless others by taking my family and friends to travel around the world.


Comments:
This movie is a bit like the "Matrix" with alot of special affect scene shots taken from around the world like Japen, China, London, Egypt, USA, Rome and Paris. Whether those places were real or taken from a CGI green screen it doesn't matter for the sake of the movie.
