It is amazingly cool to have a power such as jumping. We could be anywhere we want. We could go to any place in this world in the speed of thought, but then with great power lies an even greater consequence. The price for jumping is death, you see these so called jumpers are only prey to the hunters or rather paladins whose mission is to extinguish them from the face of the earth. It’s really a great concept, to have someone who can literally teleport and just be anywhere from the top of Mount Everest to the Sahara desert. It is also great to have the hunter’s whole identity not revealed and have that feel of mystery why they hunt for jumpers. I really felt that every jump was like an adrenalin rush. The fight scenes were indescribably good. Hayden Christensen delivered just an ok performance though. But on the other hand his partner in crime so to speak Jamie Bell had overshadowed him by a mile. He is so much a better actor than the young Vader. There are far too many elements in his character like his wit and charm made him more interesting to watch. Sam Jackson is of course bad “s” which he lives for. I certainly think there would be a sequel and it will not be a long wait. Still too many questions are left unanswered. And as the story unravels in the next chapter, I know there would be greater feats of jumper to jumper action. Overall this movie has so much potential, and I think if there would be sequel then all shall revealed.
