Gorgeous and naturalistic shots by cinematographer by Autumn Durald speak volumes, and the atonal, foreboding score by Nathan Halpern creates a sense of dread, though they are ultimately squandered in an underdeveloped story. Read full review

[Palermo] demonstrates an affinity for all things ethereal, even as he occasionally struggles to make space for himself in the long shadow of his estimable influences and reference points. Read full review

Unfortunately, this austere allegory for the difficult process by which kids start to think for themselves only hints at the turbulence of its characters, who are kept at too far a remove for us to feel their growing pains. Read full review

The silent scenes, which hold so much power in the first act, feel emptier and emptier, as the conclusion nears. Moments where Halpern’s score felt like it was adding to what was on screen, turn to moments where it’s compensating for the lack of interest. Read full review

Never feels as momentous or as angsty as a good story about moody teenagers should, and that's mostly because the film lacks a menacing parental adversary. Read full review

The film tries, unsuccessfully, to walk the same eerie, atmospheric trail as “The Village” by M. Night Shyamalan, or any number of Stephen King works. Read full review

There are simply too many loose ends to distract us, and too much empty air in which audiences can’t help but poke holes. Read full review

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 slowJumper: 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.

The film starts out with an interesting concept, building up these kids that have the ability to move through space; in effect teleport. It's an interesting contrast to the very realistic and grounded tone of the film, as there's nothing else supernatural or sci-fi happening, and no attention is really drawn to the fact that these kids teleport. They start a sub-plot where the father is abusive to the kids only for... nothing.

That's the entire film. The build up these two disparate topics and then the film just ends. There's no resolution, no arc, not even any real drama or intrigue. They establish the basic themes only to have nothing at all happen. They could have reduced everything in this film down to about 20 minutes and it'd make for an interesting opening to a film, but as it stands it's a drawn out boring film, that have an interesting concept, and makes you feel cheated when it does absolutely sod all with it. A total waste of time.… Expand
