Hmm...I'm in. I'm a nut for super powers, can't help it. At least it looks good.

Interesting, somewhat unique-ish story it seems. I will definitely check it out.

Vatoreus · 10-10-2007, 01:13 PM

So...it's a movie about mega-Nightcrawlers that don't look like mutants fighting a war against, whom exactly?

Copy/paste from Rotten Tomatoes:

"For almost as long as there have been "Jumpers" there have been those that hunt them. These people are called Paladins -- an ancient sect that has long recognized the threat that Jumpers pose to the world, the Paladins have evolved into an elite organization of warrior-like individuals who find and kill Jumpers around the globe.

Over the years, the Paladins have cultivated a special skill -- the ability to sense when a Jumper is about to Jump in the vicinity. This heightened awareness gives the Paladins a much needed tool to use when battling the Jumpers. Today, Paladins are so good at killing Jumpers that few make it to adulthood. When Jumpers start Jumping around age 5, their youth and inexperience makes it easy for Paladins to track them."

"Over time, the Paladins have also created special weapons that help in the capture and extermination of Jumpers. Primary among these are tether weapons, which are shot out of a special kind of gun. The tethers have the ability to harness Jumpers and an electrical charge running through the tethers prevents the Jumper from jumping while the Paladin moves in for the kill. Paladins also use special electrified nets to contain Jumpers."

Looks cool on paper and I liked the trailer. Hopefully that translates to good movie.

Man, I'm a sucker for superhero stuff anyway, and teleportation is my favorite power. I will have to see this.

I'm not a Hayden Christenson fan and lord knows Samuel Jackson is in 80% of the movies made, but I saw the preview for this before The Mist over the weekend and it looks somewhat interesting.

xilsharn · 11-25-2007, 08:08 AM

I was thinking this was a 9/11 movie about "The Jumper".
