Preview: Jumper (2008)
|
Poster: C
Review:
The purpose of dropping the vowels from the title doesn't make any sense and the poster is a rather rudimentary design that most High School designers could create.
Trailer: B; B-
Review:
The concept is certainly interesting, but is being marketed more as Matrix-like drama than as a super-hero flick, which could backfire in the marketing department. While it might not be a comic book adaptation, the trailer reminds me more of a blend between Underworld and Constantine. So, this is very likely to be a dud.
There are some amazing visual effects in this second trailer (though, much of it comes from the first trailer) and that includes the charade that Hayden Christensen can act. Another brooding role for the thesp should draw audiences, but the premise is growing shakier the more I see of this cookie cutter action flick.
Oscar Prospects:
Such an early release will likely be ignored even if the Visual Effects and Editing are top notch as the trailer suggests they might be.
Release Date:
February 15, 2008
