Jumper

It is said that if science fiction only relies on fantasy and is separated from the thinking of science, society and human beings, it is Fantasy rather than Science Fiction. In the same way, I don't want to include "Jumper" in my narrow sci-fi film lineup, because this is an action + romance film in the so-called sci-fi sheep's clothing, except for the idea of ​​"Jump". The story is pale and useless. I don't even want to mention this empty theory. As a whole, time and space cannot be distorted after traveling through space.

I have to make me miss the visual and connotative movies like "12 Monkeys", "Dark City", "Donnie Darko" and so on. Now Hollywood makes people not a little disappointed, pay a lot of money to pay attention to it. It is just a flashy and empty appearance, without the most basic humanistic care. Nowadays, these sci-fi movies like "Jumper", which seem to have a brilliant cast of cast members, have also degenerated to only vision, fighting, special effects, and bed scenes. In addition, people can't see any surprises, think, and leave nothing after the end. Aftertaste, there is only a blank in the end. Even if it is such a good idea, every child who grows up under the influence of science fiction inevitably fantasizes about how superpowers he has to shuttle from one sacred miracle to another.

Hayden Christensen has taken bad films after "Star Wars", making enough appearances but it is difficult to remember, and in the past two years, there has been a growing trend of long-term disability. This movie is just a pity Jamie Bell, who I haven't seen since "Billy Elliot". He's grown up and can't be said to be handsome, but it still makes me very moved when I see the once resolute edges and corners. Although his character Griffin is a It is original in the movie script and not in the novel, but in fact, it will be very predictable to dig deeper into this character, but it is a pity that the director who only pays attention to vision and fighting only makes him stay in the perspective of a rebel. Although the director's last film was "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", which I liked, I still insist that he shouldn't spoil science fiction with action movies.

    The feeling in front shines brightly. The later shots are too commercial. And the plot is not rigorous

    Science fiction brings some thinking
