Jumper

Jumper's a nice movie in my opinion.
It was certainly very entertaining,
with its fast paced action
and mysterious background.

Many things were left unsaid.
Like how the teleportation(jumping) works,
the Paladin organization
and,
well,
dats about it.

But it seems dat Jumpers can teleport (jump)
to a place that they can see or visualize from a picture,
and once they have teleported there,
the spot becomes a Jump Spot
and the jumper can return to any of his Jump Spots,
anytime, with relative ease.

When they Jump,
they leave behind a trace which is known as
a Jump Scar.
When a Jumper leaves behind his scar,
another Jumper can jump to the exact same location
the previous jumper went,
by jumping through that scar.
So basically when Jumpers jump,
they initiate in themselves,
a portal or wormhole to their destination.
This wormhole is left behind for several minutes,
though normal humans cannot see
nor utilize it without the aid
of technology as used by the Paladins.

The storyline is kept simple.
A boy manifests the power to Jump,
and uses it to his own benefit
by going anywhere
and doing anything he wants,
living a life without consequences.
He is later confronted by Paladins
who are revealed to have been hunting down
Jumpers whom they see as abominations.

"You think you can go on like this forever?
Living like this without any consequences?
THERE ARE ALWAYS CONSEQUENCES.."
- Roland Cox played by Samuel L Jackson
(fav quote from the movie)

"THAT'S IT! I've had it with these
mother fucking snakes,
in this mother fucking plane!!"
- Samuel L Jackson in Snakes in a Plane
(random)

"Only god can have the power to appear anywhere"
- the Paladins' philosophy.

And thus war the war between Jumpers and Paladins.

i wish to no further reveal the movie plot.

The intense scenes
when the battles are fought
in between continents made
what Nightcrawler did in X Men 2
seem like child's play..
