Such a frustrating disappointment
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Silly movie about a guy who can teleport virtually anymore and the shady guy who hunts him down because he thinks only God should have this power. This could have been an excellent movie, but it's done so stupidly as to be annoying.
Directed by Doug Liman, this film contains an interesting storyline that is ruined by bad direction, editing and clichés. The film contains many beautiful locations, but because of the bad editing the sight we get of them is barely a glimpse of their beauty, as we repetitively just get quick shots, making far too fast a pace for it's own good as well. The characters feel unrealistic, they mostly seem to be cliché teenagers with no spark of originality, and the antagonist doesn't have a good, logical drive to kill the jumpers. I think the main reason why I wasn't fond of this film is because of it's style, though. The typical, average blockbuster that has no sense to calm down.I didn't like it, but I can see the audience that would like this. An action film, one that makes you smell the scent of popcorn around, and one to have a chuckle at with your friends. The theme song is brilliant, one you may find yourself humming to yourself at work on a rainy day. But I think one thing in this film we can all cringe on is that it plays out like a teen soap opera, which I cringed at heaps.Overall, the film has likable tings that some may get a kick out of, but in a whole, it's disappointing. 5.5/10, not terrible, but not good.
A run-of-the-mill sci-fi movie about a supernatural teenager being hunted by a fanatical shadowy organization. Sadly, that sentence sounds even more interesting than the movie actually is. It is clogged with clichés like lost love, lost parents, kid hanging around, weak kid growing strong, strong kid being suddenly confused and in pain etc. ad nauseam. Main protagonist has no charisma, perhaps unsurprisingly, because he's played by Christensen. His love interest has no charisma. His allies are bland. His enemies have no personality and no redeeming qualities. The story has no drive, the twists are predictable, the action doesn't compensate for the sluggish tempo, the writing is boring and humourless.This is a very poor movie, positively less entertaining than any of the the Divergents and Labyrinths. It certainly has both worse acting and worse action.
The Story of a lonely and abused child who gains an extreme power from an accident, learn how to teleport any where he can think of.This power gave him freedom from that world that left him clueless about what is right and what is wrong. The end seemed more like a beginning to me that he was able finally to come to grips with his purpose.I think they picked the right people for the parts, it was certainly believable to me and seemed more like a preview of what is yet to come, perhaps if there is a sequel to come, more of the why's will shine through and will give a clearer definition, but this movie as is, certainly was not what many would expect but it did make a point of what happens when you just go out there and live without a care.Overall, Clever creative use of the teleportation powers. Good actions scenes and visual effects. The romance is a simplistic one between characters who aren't quite mature, but the story doesn't pretend that its characters are anything but immature, so that's fine. Story wastes no time with exposition at all, doesn't bother explaining everything in detail and instead prefers to thrust you right into the action at all times. I actually liked this minimalistic story telling style. Yes, it doesn't even bother detailing where the "jumping" power even comes from or explaining much back story behind the villains; but the main character doesn't even know these things - he's just blindly thrust into it all, like we are - so it's fine if we, the audience, doesn't get a clear explanation either.
