movie forecast: jumper

editor's note: for a detailed explanation of a movie forecast, click here

my first and subsequently, most lasting impression of jumper is that it seemed like a movie that was specifically made for emo kids. when i found out that it was being released on valentine's day, i could only imagine the rejoicing of emo couples everywhere. i have no reason to think this except that this movie seems to be conglomeration of all things extremely trendy. that, and i can see all of its characters shopping at hot topic, especially hayden christensen.

i do wonder why samuel l. jackson chose to dye his hair blonde. my only conclusion is that he wanted to look like eve. as for the movie, the only thing that i know is that there are people who can transport their bodies, but they don't like that other people can also do it, so they fight each other. basically it's as if nightcrawler cloned himself several times and the resulting clones had disputes that can only be settled by murder. i'm not sure if that's something that i want to see. but then again, i wear pants that actually fit.

prognosis : 5/10
