Jumper
Been wanting to watch this show for quite some time now, therefore I was plenty excited when it finally went on show!
Watched a PM session with my friend at Cathay.... Cathay's weekend tickets are at a popping $10 each. No joke. I was joking with my friends that we seem to watch more movies as the tickets get more expensive. UOB VISA gets you a ticket at $8 on the weekends, so we're all good.
The food queue was horribly long. We thought we'd be really smart and go to the concession counter inside, instead of the one at the box office... that one had a pretty long queue as well, with one very hassled service personnel trying to manage. As you can imagine, we were getting pretty edgy.
Thankfully, we managed to get our food (my friend's fish and chips would be delivered to her later but it was VERY much later.) and scrambled into the theatre, just in time for the last couple of movie trailers.
And so, the show started.
For those who don't already know, Jumper is a movie about someone (David) with the ability to teleport to wherever he pleases ( of course I assume he needs to be able to visualise the place). It gets better! It's not only the male lead who can teleport! There are apparently others who can teleport as well and there is this war that they are involved in, with a group (Paladins *zomg*) who are out to eliminate all jumpers.
The movie is basically about this struggle to survive, and also with a huge damsel in distress element. See, David has this huge crush on this girl and it apparently makes him lose all sense of logical deduction when it comes to the girl. I remember thinking so many times :"What an idiot!" about David.
The dumb stunts he pulls without any thought that there may be consequences makes me almost want to strangle the fella. Who the heck jumps (and dumps) someone else into a bank vault and not expect to be rattled on? Then again, I guess if he was so dumb we would not have a movie to watch.
Some of the fight scenes didn't sit well with me as they used a hand held style of filming.
