In a season where a variety of comic book-adapted movies are being churned out like pancakes, director Doug Liman’s “Jumper,” is the anti-super hero movie that should be seen at your own risk.

At the start of “Jumper,” Hayden Christensen’s main character, David Rice, a jumper, begins to describe his days transporting around the world.

Rice can teleport anywhere but he has to have seen the place to make the jump. Upon learning of his ability, Rice decides to use his gift to rob banks and to create a lavish lifestyle in New York.

Clearly, Rice is selfish, because instead of saving people trapped in a flood, he goes to London to sleep with a beautiful woman.

His teleporting abilitycatches the attention of Roland, played by Samuel L. Jackson, a Paladin who hunts and kills jumpers.

The middle of the story concerns Rice’s love for his childhood sweetheart, Millie who, played by Rachel Bilson, becomes a target of the Paladins in order to capture Rice.

While the movie did not exceed expectations, the teleporting sequences are spectacular and will make anyone wish they had that power just to travel around the world. “Jumper” is rated PG13.
