Liman applies the same frenetic approach to action scenes that made "The Bourne Identity" such an engaging and exciting affair. - 60
Empire
It’s Liman’s least charismatic action movie and the least developed, but it still packs some cracking action into its brief running time and lays foundations on which a great franchise could be built. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
Jumper proves disappointingly inert. All the state-of-the-art visual effects in the world can't compensate for spotty plotting and bland characters that prevent an intriguing premise from going the distance. - 50
Variety
Director Doug Liman churns out a serviceable sci-fi thriller/videogame template that plays like "The Matrix Lite" and, finally, isn't nearly as cool as its trailer. - 50
Entertainment Weekly
Liman, for all his craft, doesn't have enough FUN with the premise. - 50
San Francisco Chronicle
Goes south as a sci-fi film. - 50
Austin Chronicle
The whole production does reek a bit of origin story filminess, but even so, it's light sabers beyond Christensen's sad, revengeful fate in "Episode III" and does offer a nice view of the top of the Sphinx's head no less than three times. - 50
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
The best thing -- maybe the only good thing -- about the expensive sci-fi movie, Jumper, is its high-concept premise, which gives its hero the power of teleporting himself anywhere on the globe in the blink of an eye: from the Coliseum of Rome to the North Pole.
