Jumper Blu-ray
20th Century Fox | 2008 | 88 mins | Rated PG-13 | Jun 10, 2008
Jumper(2008)Action | Adventure | Sci-Fi | Thriller     From the director of The Bourne Identity and Mr. & Mrs. Smith comes the evolution of extreme — a high-powered shot of adrenaline that stretches the very limits of imagination. David Rice (Hayden Christensen) is a young man who knows no boundaries — a Jumper, born with the uncanny ability to teleport instantly to any place on Earth. When he discovers others like himself, David is thrust into the midst of an ancient war while being hunted by a bloodthirsty band of zealots sworn to destroy all Jumpers. Now, David's extraordinary gift may be his only hope for survival. Based on the best selling science-fiction novel by Steven Gould.

Jackson, Rachel Bilson, Diane Lane Director: Doug Liman Jumper Blu-ray, Video Quality  Jumper lands on Blu-ray with a highly impressive 1080p, 2.35:1 framed image. The first thing I noted about the transfer was the excellent attention to detail, colors and lifelike imagery. Look at one of the movie's earliest scenes that takes place outside after school on a cold winter's day. Everything looks both amazingly film-like and real: the multi-colored jackets; the textures of clothing; the realistic and "reach-out-and-touch-it" appearance of the school bus; the snow; and even the chips of ice we see in a few close-ups. Flesh tones are excellent, maybe a bit too rosy in a few shots, but definitely more than acceptable. Indoor scenes fare extremely well, too. A bar scene in chapter nine features highly detailed, well, everything. In a locale that is generally depicted as dark and dreary in movies, here it is bright, colorful, and alive. Obviously, this is completely due to director intent, where he could have opted for the same tired bar scene we've seen countless times before, but here, it was a nice change of pace. The exterior shots of Rome are beautiful. A fine layer of grain that is visible everywhere brings with it a wonderfully cinematic look. This grain adds a depth to the movie that perfectly recreates the theater experience. The interior of the colosseum looks excellent as well, and if nothing else, this movie (and this disc) has me yearning more so than ever to visit Rome and the other wonderfully shot locales around the world. Likewise, the nighttime exterior shots of Tokyo in chapter 18 look amazing with the too-many-to-count bright neon lights and impeccable detail that is seen all over the city. Black levels are good, appearing perhaps the slightest bit gray rather than true black in a few scenes. I was very impressed with this transfer. It doesn't quite reach the level of excellence of something like The Chronicles of Narnia or Saawariya, but it comes awfully close. Jumper Blu-ray, Audio Quality Jumper makes the Blu-ray leap with an active but ever-so-slightly underwhelming DTS-HD MA 5.1 sound mix. Dialogue volume is fine, but dialogue itself sounds slightly muffled at times. Jumper offers up a solid, crisp, and detailed surround presence that remains active throughout most of the movie to create a natural ambience rather than just kicking in during the film's few action pieces. From the ringing of bells off in the distance in Rome to some background communications chatter in a holding facility in chapter 10, this track does an excellent job of recreating the subtleties of real life. Bass is also solid, but not overpowering. Here, I didn't get the impression it was meant to tear away at the foundation of your house. Rather, it played just right, providing enough "oomph" to feel the jumps in your gut but never overstating its presence or overextending its welcome. The jumps are definitely a highlight of the track, proving to be both fun to listen to as well as feel. Still, some of the sound effects struck me as just a bit weak. The action scenes, like the first major one in chapter 13, present listeners with some nice, powerful activity. The war zone scene in Chechnya near the end of the film sounded wonderful with the popping of weapons off in the distance in the rear channels and the rumbling of tanks in the front, but again, it sounded just the slightest bit underwhelming. This is still a top-notch track, however, and any perceived low-level effects can certainly be compensated for by cranking up the volume a few notches, should you choose to do so. Listening to this track just might distract the viewer from the fact that this film lacks a truly good plot, but the video and audio experience, as well as some of the following-discussed supplements, quite easily encompass this disc's highlights.
