Gotta love how blind faith and religion immediantly demonizes people accusing them of having power only reserved for gods yet never consider the possibility that they were blessed by said gods.
No no no so basically Griffin, the guy who saved the hero's ass MULTIPLE times got killed by that same hero and the reason, the f-ing reason was that the hero was an absolute idiot who was so in love with a girl that he hadn't even seen for 8 years that he killed his saviour and went on a suicide mission getting out alive ONLY due to plot armour. Like if he wanted to die that much, should have just had the bomb explode while shielding the girl. Lovers suicide, So romantic.
All I can think about is how painful that flight to Rome would have been for him. Imagine you spent your whole life instantly teleporting then have to spend hours on a plane for the first time... it would fucking suck lmao
The whole movie could have ended much sooner. Just give Griffin/David a gun and let them shoot the paladins. All they got to do is create jump-scars and camp on the exit for Roland to appear and then start blastin'
@@XiaoyuuuYT Could be a nice twist of mystery. 2 jump scars, 2 Paladins. Both know that one scar is death, the other possibly the same - But they have to risk it. But I ain't never written a script, so what do I know
Wait, so his paladin mother abandoned him as a child to protect him, when realizing he was a jumper. Only to reunite with him after he got rid of the threat, only to say she'll give him a head start before she starts hunting him. What was the point then?
@@thegk-verse4216 She ignored him when he was 5, I could understand that, not wanting to kill a child.

If roland stays at the house, he gets blown up, if he jumps through the jumpscar made by david, then he gets his innards obliterated because explosions in water does that. Bam, they won without having to kill griffin, without risking anything with the paladins where david gets shot instantly. Also he could've gotten stabbed or shot after getting stuck with multiple cables, but the paladins decide to just stand there while he spams teleport.
And the "Mom of the year" award goes to this woman. She basically left the kid for dead, not warning about the Paladins. Just because it's the movie, the things turned out as they did, otherwise it would end up with his clueless ass caught off-guard and get killed by paladins.

Thank you very very much for existing haha.
The Paladins did that at some point.shoot them. Doesn't show it in the movie but we can assume it happened during one of those 3 years that passed, we get a hint that it passed because Griffin teleported so many times to get to Roland In the 9:56.
To those feeling so sorry for his dad losing his family: The first two times son teleported were instinctive. His did it first when it was afraid for his due to drowning. The second time, he was afraid for his life due to his father.

It's frustrating when abilities like this are depicted in movies alongside a "secret society" that knows about the abilities. To make a more believable story, the ability should either be genuinely new and never-before-seen, with intelligence agencies rapidly learning about the ability and figuring out its weaknesses, or it should be part of historical fact and everyone should know about it. Otherwise it really breaks the suspension of disbelief for me.
To be fair he was fine without any knowledge of everyone else for at least 7 or 8 years so 😂 he didn’t do that bad tbh he just wanted some pussy dats all
Yeah. Also I'm surprised no one thought to do something like this ages ago. It's such an obvious concept, yet this is the first channel I've found who does stuff like this with this level of quality
David does literally every single thing you shouldn't do when being tracked. "Lemme go to my dad's house, than my hometown, they'll never think to look there"
I have a simple how to beat this whole thing, go to a gun shop in america, teleport there in the night, grab all the guns you need, and shoot all the paladins. Now you're safe
Or take karate classes or any fighting class so when i can't use my powers I can at least do something to protect myself because the only reason there alive is because of those powers but I want to put it in my mind that I got my powers and hand combat or something to protect myself
It really did. This and movies like Push or Chronicle had some serious potential to become somthing big and yet they become one hitter quitters. I guess its because Hollywood would rather do comic book movies, remake/reboots, or sequels to movies that nobody asked for.
The movie is loosely based on the first of a series of four books (Jumper, Reflex, Impulse, Exo), which are much better. No Griffin, no Paladin nonsense. If you want to see the concept developed to its potential, then Exo will do that quite nicely.
Lesson learnt after watching this and other movies about supernatural abilities: If you develop some psychic / supernatural ability, don't go around bragging, both online and offline. Even with friends. Always be alert and always have escape routes planned every single day, no matter where you are. Unless you wanna end up as a Govt: Lab rat.
*gets into a fight in rome where your ability could possibly get disabled* “yeah im gonna stay and fight instead of literally teleporting back to america where i’ve been before”😭😭
I'm just mad that they had the idea right for how the teleportation functions, and the wish fufilling uses of it, but the paladins should never have had an advantage at any point, especially back in the middle ages. You just teleport behind them, touch them, teleport into the fucking sky, and then bounce, letting them fall to their death. Among other far more intelligient strategies to use with teleporting, the fact that the paladins not only could go toe to toe with them with swords but were effective enough to exterminate them for centuries is complete horseshit without them having literal magic too.
@@SeibahDeAru bruh that makes so much sense xD Literally teleport any paladin to the sky and let go and then splat they are dead and problem solved for the teleporters xD Only in the end when they teleported the paladin to the grand canyon and leave him was the only logical thing in the movie + how tf did the girl not drown? how tf did the paladin who is a normal human being survive so much?? ffs
I loved the book. There’s a part where he takes a terrorist hijacker who killed his mom on live TV on a airport runway strip to the top of the WTC and drops him. Then he teleports and catches him before he hits the ground over and over.
I was actually an extra in this film. During the snowglobe scene, the film was shot at my highschool and local park and they hired students as background characters. It was cold as hell and took all day to shoot, but I got two seconds of screentime in the final product!
I actually liked this movie... It's very wish fulfillment😊... My favorite part was when he teleported 2 inches on the couch just to get closer to the remote 😂
4:48 Do you see here his first mistake was teleporting somebody to the bank that was his first mistake because he knows who you are because you teleported him and because he knows you his second mistake was abusing his power I’m not saying you should turn into a hero what I’m saying is you should be careful because if you have the power and somebody else must’ve having it before you
Me: Imagine if he would do cargo delivery to orbit, or Moon, or Mars. Instantaneous daily teleportation of Tons of supplies across solar system. This would mean *free clean energy* from moon base helium-3 mining, first Mars colony in a few decades, space asteroid mining. Utopia on Earth, advancement of our civilization to Solar system level and beyond.... Paladins: *lets kill him*.
@@EnbyAlex that's true, but that's the easy part, especially for the moon trip. in the movie he can jump across the globe many times. and distance from Earth to moon is roughly 30 times Earth's diameter. He would basically need a space suit, a cloudless night, just stare at the moon and jump 30 times in its direction (or if his maximum jump distance is more then Earth's diameter, then less jumps, maybe even one jump).
Jumper is one of my favorite movies, I love how they handled teleportation and would love to see more movies on this topic in this manner. It's good. I'm glad that he got a happy ending though
There's actually a more destructive way to use teleportation. Teleportation involves instantaneous destruction, causing the tiny particles to move at ridiculous speeds to a specific destination and then reform. Destroying something without reforming it results in near permanent destruction unless another Jumper would reform it. David should've just killled them that way.
It’s implied that this movies form of teleportation is some kind of space time manipulation. they leave temporary “scars” at the location of their teleport event horizon

If roland stays at the house, he gets blown up, if he jumps through the jumpscar made by david, then he gets his innards obliterated because explosions in water does that. Bam, they won without having to kill griffin, without risking anything with the paladins where david gets shot instantly. Also he could've gotten stabbed or shot after getting stuck with multiple cables, but the paladins decide to just stand there while he spams teleport.

I didn’t know mace windu disliked anakin this much tho
Why in tf didnt they just get some guns and wait on then other side of the scar?
bro on god, 2 sawed off shotguns would fix the paladin problem.
Honestly my same thought griffin had a flamethrower when a .45 or even a .22 would have worked so much better
They would rather usea flamethrower which is not the most practical weapon in a fight.
Why in tf didn't the paladins do the same thing instead of using cattle prods?
The Paladins did that at some point.shoot them. Doesn't show it in the movie but we can assume it happened during one of those 3 years that passed, we get a hint that it passed because Griffin teleported so many times to get to Roland In the 9:56.
Didn't know that Anakin could teleport.
And Mace still doesn't like him.
Griffin still stuck under the powerline: fuck
Wtf nobody is talking about David fucked griffins place up and abandons him in Syria lmao
but griffin dies? even after saving him so many times...
from my memory he die
yes. he let the Paldin live...but basically left his friend for dead
Griffin did not die

It never shows u if Griffin died or lived its assumed he lived
As soon as he said we have to separate I knew Millie was gonna get snatched
To those feeling so sorry for his dad losing his family: The first two times son teleported were instinctive. His did it first when it was afraid for his due to drowning. The second time, he was afraid for his life due to his father.
When your mom abandons you, gets a new family and suddenly wants to act like a proper mom
its to protect them from the paladins

@@rickeybernard8156 humper
Griffin basically the MVP throughout the movie. I knew I liked him, he was so familiar I remembered, he played Edgar in Snowpiercer.
I have a theory Roland has a power of his own. Man could consistently contend with and beat jumpers, even an experienced one, and he could react to a bus heading right at him, perfectly dodging it. He could even survive a direct blast from a flame thrower with little to no injury
It's called Plot armor

It's frustrating when abilities like this are depicted in movies alongside a "secret society" that knows about the abilities. To make a more believable story, the ability should either be genuinely new and never-before-seen, with intelligence agencies rapidly learning about the ability and figuring out its weaknesses, or it should be part of historical fact and everyone should know about it. Otherwise it really breaks the suspension of disbelief for me.
Yeah that’s a good point,I don’t know why they don’t do that more often would make tv and movies more interesting
Yeah exactly the book however takes a better an interesting dive on the original plot
Yee
I used to love this movie when I was young
As a child .... 9:56 was the hardest scene i saw in any live action movie
Still tuff to this day as an adult
9:56 one of the coolest fight scene ever
His ability would have had a lot of potentials if only he was a bit smarter.
To be fair he was fine without any knowledge of everyone else for at least 7 or 8 years so 😂 he didn’t do that bad tbh he just wanted some pussy dats all
This channel is gonna blow up
It already is
Yeah. Also I'm surprised no one thought to do something like this ages ago. It's such an obvious concept, yet this is the first channel I've found who does stuff like this with this level of quality

me who jump daily: "maybe I am a god"

David does literally every single thing you shouldn't do when being tracked.
"Lemme go to my dad's house, than my hometown, they'll never think to look there"
I have a simple how to beat this whole thing, go to a gun shop in america, teleport there in the night, grab all the guns you need, and shoot all the paladins. Now you're safe
I said the same thing
Or take karate classes or any fighting class so when i can't use my powers I can at least do something to protect myself because the only reason there alive is because of those powers but I want to put it in my mind that I got my powers and hand combat or something to protect myself

@@vJerro Jumper
This movie really needs a Part 2 and so on! A lot of potential in this film!

HE WOULD BE EVERY WHERE AT ONCE
EVEN THE HIGHER GROUND :O
"and another person, *griffin*- " must not have liked griffin
this concept has so much potential
I wish it was remade
It really did. This and movies like Push or Chronicle had some serious potential to become somthing big and yet they become one hitter quitters. I guess its because Hollywood would rather do comic book movies, remake/reboots, or sequels to movies that nobody asked for.
The movie is loosely based on the first of a series of four books (Jumper, Reflex, Impulse, Exo), which are much better. No Griffin, no Paladin nonsense. If you want to see the concept developed to its potential, then Exo will do that quite nicely.
@@metafishling thanks for letting me know
Will definitely check it out
They made Impulse into a show here on UA-cam
Its good for movies like these to be a one hit because we all know how most sequels turn out to be @nixsis5281
Lesson learnt after watching this and other movies about supernatural abilities:
If you develop some psychic / supernatural ability, don't go around bragging, both online and offline. Even with friends. Always be alert and always have escape routes planned every single day, no matter where you are.
Unless you wanna end up as a Govt: Lab rat.
Unless you have some ability so destructive that a failed capture could cause world ending damage.
If they pester you just glass the planet.
imagine how strong he can become like if he could move an asteroid anywhere or even a planet
Don't you have this power?
I would teleport a resource rich asteroid to become rich
You have to go there before you teleport there lmao
@Trini Gamer maybe you forgot about the EXTREME CONDITION OF SPACE WITH NO AIR
I feel like the government would instead try to weaponize jumpers instead of letting paladins kill them
I straight up asked my grandma to take me to watch this at the cinema when I was in 3rd grade so I can watch Anakin lol
I love how both Hayden Christensen and Samuel L Jackson are in this movie.
I’m actually embarrassed how long it took me to real that older version of the main character was Hayden Christian who I loved from Star Wars
*gets into a fight in rome where your ability could possibly get disabled*
“yeah im gonna stay and fight instead of literally teleporting back to america where i’ve been before”😭😭
The plot wasn't really planned out well and the guy is dumb
the idea of this movie when it came out was awesome, as i got older realized how bad the movie actually is
I'm just mad that they had the idea right for how the teleportation functions, and the wish fufilling uses of it, but the paladins should never have had an advantage at any point, especially back in the middle ages.
You just teleport behind them, touch them, teleport into the fucking sky, and then bounce, letting them fall to their death.
Among other far more intelligient strategies to use with teleporting, the fact that the paladins not only could go toe to toe with them with swords but were effective enough to exterminate them for centuries is complete horseshit without them having literal magic too.
@@SeibahDeAru bruh that makes so much sense xD
Literally teleport any paladin to the sky and let go and then splat they are dead and problem solved for the teleporters xD
Only in the end when they teleported the paladin to the grand canyon and leave him was the only logical thing in the movie + how tf did the girl not drown? how tf did the paladin who is a normal human being survive so much?? ffs
i appreciate it for what it is, its a 'fun' movie
@@SeibahDeAru there is something wrong with that. The teleportation only works to the place they have come to.
I've watched it recently, I like it just as much as I did when I saw it theaters i think my freshman year in high school.
9:59 hands down the best thing I've seen in the movie.
I loved the book. There’s a part where he takes a terrorist hijacker who killed his mom on live TV on a airport runway strip to the top of the WTC and drops him. Then he teleports and catches him before he hits the ground over and over.
0:06 lol when you lag in real life
I was actually an extra in this film. During the snowglobe scene, the film was shot at my highschool and local park and they hired students as background characters. It was cold as hell and took all day to shoot, but I got two seconds of screentime in the final product!
Hey atleast your in a movie you got bragging rights!
@@nananya0 Damn straight!
I actually liked this movie... It's very wish fulfillment😊... My favorite part was when he teleported 2 inches on the couch just to get closer to the remote 😂
4:48 Do you see here his first mistake was teleporting somebody to the bank that was his first mistake because he knows who you are because you teleported him and because he knows you his second mistake was abusing his power I’m not saying you should turn into a hero what I’m saying is you should be careful because if you have the power and somebody else must’ve having it before you
So, in the alternative universe, Anakin Skywalker could teleport
I literally sit all day watching these. So addictive. Feel like after I've watched a recap that I lived it.
This movie was supposed to be a trilogy and I'm still waiting for it 😭
David as
It's a classic honestly I can always watch it
honestly id still love for them to do a Jumper 2 with an older Hayden Christensen perhaps teaching a younger Jumper
Me: Imagine if he would do cargo delivery to orbit, or Moon, or Mars. Instantaneous daily teleportation of Tons of supplies across solar system. This would mean *free clean energy* from moon base helium-3 mining, first Mars colony in a few decades, space asteroid mining. Utopia on Earth, advancement of our civilization to Solar system level and beyond....
Paladins: *lets kill him*.
Well he'd have to actually go to those places before he'd be able to get stuff there
@@EnbyAlex that's true, but that's the easy part, especially for the moon trip. in the movie he can jump across the globe many times. and distance from Earth to moon is roughly 30 times Earth's diameter. He would basically need a space suit, a cloudless night, just stare at the moon and jump 30 times in its direction (or if his maximum jump distance is more then Earth's diameter, then less jumps, maybe even one jump).
@@svetochmira9994 nah, instant teleportation from the earth's atmosphere to the moon's atmosphere would cause his body to explode
@@AnkitSingh-vm1gn naturally, he would be wearing space suit, the space suit will maintain normal pressure, and allow him to breathe
@@svetochmira9994 lol didn't think about that
Jumper is one of my favorite movies, I love how they handled teleportation and would love to see more movies on this topic in this manner. It's good. I'm glad that he got a happy ending though

@@GreatDerg Oh there's a book for it? Thank you! I'll have to look it up :D
Still crazy to me that Eminem almost got this role.
I've never heard that. Originally, Davy was to be played by Jamie Bell, who played Griffin. He would've fit Davy from the books much better.
@@billybatson7852 he mean that Eminem almost got a role as Roland (Samuel L. Jackson)
David was so careless and greedy. Imagine having that power and keeping it low key.
so Mace Windu is still pissed from Anakin's be-handing incident and now he is hunting him out of revenge against Darth Vader and the Emperor
There's actually a more destructive way to use teleportation. Teleportation involves instantaneous destruction, causing the tiny particles to move at ridiculous speeds to a specific destination and then reform. Destroying something without reforming it results in near permanent destruction unless another Jumper would reform it. David should've just killled them that way.
It clearly doesn't work like that
in the same way as in Titanfall 2?
@@normalperson4755 No idea what Titanfall 2 is, but maybe.
@Miro Oh no it's still the original body, it's just reconstructed.
It’s implied that this movies form of teleportation is some kind of space time manipulation. they leave temporary “scars” at the location of their teleport event horizon
I love how every story recapped video title sounds like a news headline
this is the best recap channel because the voice is so pleasant. not overly dramatic. 👌 10/10
Legend says Griffin is still stuck in the pilon to this day.
Oh man, I remember to enjoy seeing this movie a lot when I was younger yet never knowing it's name, eventually forgetting about it and now I've come across this video thanks to the UA-cam algorithm gods. Great video, subscribed and thanks for making me remember it- time for a rewatch!
