Great film! See it.
Imagine if you could travel anywhere, whenever you wanted.
It's that simple really. A science fiction extrapolation of the back-packer's wanderlust. You can travel to London, Rome, and Egypt - and still be home in time to watch your favourite show on telly.
There are villains, rather good ones, if dubiously motivated; and Samuel L. Jackson plays a bad guy with a scary haircut. But the real conflict is between two Jumpers, who bicker and end up having a fist fight that zaps exhilaratingly from location to location.
It's a film that has no resonance, and leaves no lasting insights or profundities in the mind. It's just - zap - zap - zap - great fun.
