Reviews:
”Above Average Jumper is clean, clear, and spare, lacking only a semi-satisfying ending. “Berardinelli, Internet Critic
”Below Average 'Jumper: The Prequel,' a movie so silly you may find yourself giggling helplessly even as you wish you could magically transport yourself almost anywhere else in the world but where you are, in front of the screen showing it.” Roger Ebert
”Average Though the film starts out intriguingly, it never lives up to its promise, mostly because so little is explained. It's as if the rules and parameters of the story are being made up as the movie goes along.” USA Today
”Average The film looks great, but at a brisk 88 minutes, there's no time to fill in back story, from the epic history of paladin persecution to the deeply personal mystery of David's mother, and the cliffhanger ending is so abrupt that the movie seems bizarrely truncated.” TV Guide Online
