In an isolated farmhouse, located in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by a mysterious wooden wall, Zac and Eva, two siblings gifted with extraordinary abilities, endure every day the wrath of their strict father while witnessing how a cruel sickness lurks their beloved mother.
> Jumper: There and back again.
There are plenty of similar themes, but 'Jumper' will be the first anyone can remember. Its not a time travel theme, but a space travel film. Don't assume the outer space, very much in our Earth's atmosphere space travel like a supernatural.
This is a slow fantasy-drama about two teen siblings who are living in an isolated location and their inherited ability to cheat space within their sight. What goes wrong when they just want to play with it, but it's forbidden by their strict father is the rest of the story.
It is a weakest writing for a movie that borrowed an idea from the others. Failed to capitalise and falls into an average list. There is no particular performance to point out, but Kiernan Shipka is who had more screenspace and was decent with her show.
There's nothing much to talk about the movie, the dialogues were very rare and too short. A simple drama, mostly boring for its uninteresting under developed scenes. Surely a watchable movie, but does it worth spending your time? I don't think so, thankfully it was not the worst film I've ever seen.
6/10
Overall, I found the film to be decent - not necessarily bad, but with its fair share of ups and downs. The storyline occasionally veered into the realm of the absurd, which could be a bit jarring at times.
At the end of the day, while it may not be a cinematic masterpiece, it's still worth a watch, if only to get another dose of Timothée Chalamet on screen. However, it's not the type of movie that I would find myself revisiting frequently. It's more suited for a one-time viewing, perhaps as background entertainment while doing chores like vacuuming or during a casual TV session.
