Jumper

Rated PG13 for violence

Starring Hayden Christensen, Samuel L. Jackson

In this one, Hayden Christensen learns in his early jr high/high school years that he can 'jump' from one place to another, so long as he can visual the place he's 'jumping' to. Using this ability, he's able to travel the world. Lunch in Paris, surfing in Fiji, drinking in Ireland, relaxing in the sun in Egypt. And that's not even a full day! Turns out though, he's not the only one of his kind and there are those that don't think his kind should exist.

Apparently, there's an entire backstory/prequel that explains things a bit more in the books/graphic novels, than the movie let's you know. It was a fun action/adventure movie, but only if you take it at face value. Once you start including logic, you'll find a lot of unanswered questions and things that don't quite make sense the more you think about them. But was pretty clever for being just a fun entertaining film.
