He simply doesnt think a human should have god-like teleportation powers. With hopes for a Jumper trilogy, he has already outlined a second film involving - great Scotty! - researchers teleporting molecules in a lab. David Rice discovers that he has the exhilarating ability to instantly teleport anywhere in the world he can imagine. It's punctuated by action scenes, a car chase, explosions, and shoot-outs - none of which are very original or visually compelling, despite the seemingly singular notion of 'jumping. (You hear that, Heroes?) In real life, only a beam of light has been, er, beamed a short distance (about 3 feet) but that, Kimble says, "is a set of completely different physics," and Hollywood-style teleportation is just not possible. Our review: Parents say ( 20 ): Kids say ( 38 ): Though it's based on a science-fiction novel by Steven Gould, Doug Liman 's movie feels very comic-booky. "You're only sending information about their quantum state." Which means it's more like a Xerox machine than a wormhole, with no movement or connection across space and time. Since teleportation is a transfer of quantum states, not particles, "you're not actually sending atoms," he says. So did Hollywood get it right this time? Not so much, says H. When David Rice (Thieriot) was 15-years-old in high school he discovers his ability to teleport, or jump, after he falls through thin ice on the Huron River. "The jump happens between two frames, connecting two different environments for a split second." Jumper is a dumb superhero movie ruining its high-concept sci-fi/fantasy premise with a weak script. Windu.) "It's not like Star Trek, where you see someone break into a million particles and reconstitute," Liman says.

A teenager with teleportation abilities suddenly finds himself in the middle of an ancient war between those like him and their sworn annihilators. Contents 1 Series 1.1 Novel universe 1. Out in February, his adaptation of Steven Gould's novel stars Hayden Christensen as a slacker who discovers he can beam around via brainpower. David Rice Griffin O'Conner Millie Harris Henrietta 'Henry' Coles Jumpers are humans who are born with the special ability to teleport, either themselves or any person or object, through space to another location. With Jumper, however, director and self-proclaimed physics geek Doug Liman ( The Bourne Identity) swears his sci-fi thriller is dead-on - or as good as it gets, since real teleportation technology isn't exactly up to speed. The result typically ends up closer to laughable fiction than plausible science. From The Fly to the Ninja Turtles, Hollywood has consistently deployed teleportation to blip a story line forward. ![]()
