Sorry about the lack of news lately - I've been on holiday. I'll make a big effort to catch up over the next couple of days!

So... anyone see this, was it any good?
doesn't look too impressive
It was horrible.
I saw it on Valentine's Day. It's purely just for fun. If you're looking to be entertained, then this definitely succeeds. If you're looking for No Country for Old Jumpers, then you might as well skip this and hold off on prematurely bashing it.
That being said, this was indeed fun and I will pick it up, as it will come in handy on nights that I want to enjoy a fun popcorn flick.

I love Doug Liman's work, and I have found something interesting in every one of his efforts, from SWINGERS to MR. AND MRS. SMITH, and trailers for JUMPER surely looked fine enough, but... it was a complete mess. I would say the buck stops at David Goyer's senseless script, but there was really no redeeming merits to this utter failure. If only it had been an entertaining failure, but it was also boring.
Believe me, I am not comparing this to any 'highbrow' movie, I am the right target for this kind of films when done well (I mean, I love, LOVE the first BLADE, had a lot of fun with BLADE II, and then I rolled my eyes at Goyer's BLADE III), but JUMPER fails in all departments.

Anyone else notice that this marks Paramount's first post HD-DVD Blu-ray announcement.
Also is that aspect ratio accurate? This was 2:35:1 in the theater.

That cover is pretty awesome looking surprisingly. I watched the movie and it was a decent time-waster. It might be worth a buy on BD when it gets cheaper.

No, because you didn't notice that FOX released this movie.

It's a Fox release.
And the Blu-ray artwork is awful.

I seriously hate the Digital Copy Special Edition logo. Why can't Fox just put Two-Disc Special Edition and list the Digital Copy on the back of the DVD under the Special Features section. That's what Lions Gate is doing.

My family and I saw this in the theater, it was not as bad as some make it out to be. I would have liked them to stay with the younger characters more, Hayden is not the best of actors. Aside from that, the movie is quite entertaining at times, however a bit too easily figured out.

I loved this movie! Mostly because I could stare at Rachel Bilson all day long but it was pure, fun entertainment. Plus I can't wait to have it on my iPod!
Whoops, for some reason I kept thinking this was a Paramount release. My error.
Any word on the OAR though?

Strictly how-to-shoot-your-blockbuster-101. Hightlights are Jamie Bell, a so-bad-it's-good ending and... oh, yeah, I was expecting a mediocre performance from Bilson (which was exactly what I got from Christensen), but it was, wow, how can I say, one of the worst, if not THE worst 'superhero girlfriend' acting job I've ever seen in my life. The girl clearly cannot act on the big screen, and I'm sorry to say, but it's no prejudice. People were laughing at her line delivery in theaters.
Oh, yeah, and that cover is hideous. The blue-yellow blends like c**p and the leg position is just... odd.

I enjoyed the movie. Could've been better. It's like the first X-Men movie, in that it just feels like a prelude to a much bigger, better adventure.
Not too sure about that artwork though...What's going on between his legs? That's like the biggest bulge I've ever seen. I think the "jump" put so much pressure on him that he took a big c**p and now a ball of it is stuck and getting slung around at the butt of his pants. Fix that artwork, FOX.
They should change it to this one (revise it a little bit, of course): http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2007/12/11/jumper-po...
That'll look cool, with the white caseholder/slipcase over it too. That'll be an eye-catcher in Blockbuster if they change it to that art.

So the blu ray has a slip cover?
Another Digital copy. I think I'll puke. By the way I'm not so happy with that artwork.
Cool cover art, let's hope Fox won't change it at the last minute...
Yep, like anyone will want the two-disc edition of this horrible piece of filmmaking.
Also, the film recieved the horrible artwork it deserves.

Didn't interest me...
This was a fun film. I'll probably get it eventually.
Very nice cover art.
Very nice cover art.
Never saw this one, but I really love that single disc art.
WHAT IS BD-JAVA??
Well, well, well, if it isn't "Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu Tackle A Film That Resembles The Matrix + Highlander". I'm not touching this with a 10-foot pole......
I thought this movie was entertaining enough, and I like Christensen. They'd better have something much better for the 2-disc artwork; preferably just the nice, simple poster with him standing on the Sphinx.
Poor cover, and have no interest in seeing this one...
The movie was average. I just knew that there were going to be deleted scenes. The movie was too short. But Fox is doing the right thing by giving us at the same time both editions of the dvd. No double dipping. Also, I'm so glad that Fox is going to actually put some features in the 2nd disc unlike the Hitman dvd. A digitial copy of the movie isn't a feature. And most people won't use the thing.
Interesting premise that had some possibilities only to be kiiled by the assumption that there would be a sequel--too many plot threads left dangling, unaswered, or otherwise only hinted at and the feeling that they were saving a lot of the 'good stuff' or big revelations for the next film. It just wasn't a complete movie and I felt cheated after seeing it, but not entirely cheated--just a 'I should have asked for half my money back since they only delivered half a movie' sort of cheated.
This film had so much potential but it just ended up being really dumb. Although dumb in a fun way because I can't say I was ever bored with it. The action was well done enough, this is Doug Liman we're talking about, but it was pretty unintentionally funny. I actually found the scenes with the younger characters to be more interesting. However, I may pick up the 2-Disc if I'm in a good mood, the coverart is pretty nice.
