They're really essential to any enjoyable space/time travel story ...<BR/><BR/>(I thought Hiro's powers in Heroes could've been a bit more clearly explained.)<BR/><BR/>About the lead: my wife agrees with your husband ...

I liked it, my husband (who loves action flicks) hated it. He thought the lead was a "punk"<BR/><BR/>I am always interested in what "rules" the author is going to include with their time/space travel.<BR/><BR/>This guy needed to visualize his destination it seemed. I assume that's why he kept around all the postcards so he could "picture" himself back<BR/><BR/>Interesting twist that they could take people and things with them!Carrin Mahmoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362232175103159199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289595359432630118.post-82400201277168813412008-05-24T13:22:00.001-04:002008-05-24T13:22:00.001-04:00Ha! lol I love when people say they like or dislik...Ha! lol I love when people say they like or dislike something and someone tells them they're wrong. <BR/><BR/>Arrrrgh! We missed it I think, and now have to wait for the DVD. <BR/>I can't wait to try and wrap my brain around this, I love time travel so it will be interesting as you say to see if I can 'make the leap" with teleportation"<BR/><BR/>OK....2 interesting links in movies I saw in the last two weeks<BR/><BR/>1. We saw Indiana Jones 4 last night. There was an interesting line at the end re: space... ( I don't think this is a big spoiler?) IJ asks if XXXXXis returning to space, and his counterpart says, "It's the place between here and space"<BR/><BR/>2. Made of Honor (I know, I know!!!)but Kevin McKidd was in it. Geeze no wonder NBC is tanking! Who would 86 Journeyman?!Carrin Mahmoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362232175103159199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289595359432630118.post-54870719004463749092008-05-05T13:01:00.000-04:002008-05-05T13:01:00.000-04:00tvindy - not to worry, I'm one of the all-time typ...tvindy - not to worry, I'm one of the all-time typo kings!<BR/><BR/>anon: glad you enjoyed my review!<BR/><BR/>more seriously: if you took the time to read any of my reviews here on Infinite Regress (or anywhere), you'd know I don't care at all what critics and non-critics say about movies, television shows, politicians ... all I really care about are my own opinions, in which I have lots of confidence... :)<BR/><BR/>I stand completely by my conclusion that Jumper will become a cult classic (whether minor or major, though, I'm not sure)...Paul Levinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609987407926836519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289595359432630118.post-6996815284010724332008-05-05T05:04:00.000-04:002008-05-05T05:04:00.000-04:00You're just obviously "patronizing" the most criti...You're just obviously "patronizing" the most critically & non-critically lambasted movie of the year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289595359432630118.post-82111138050304853552008-05-05T03:02:00.000-04:002008-05-05T03:02:00.000-04:00As usual I can see I managed to sprinkle in a few ...As usual I can see I managed to sprinkle in a few typos. I can't for the life of me figure out what I meant by "clain". Perhaps "cram"???<BR/><BR/>I guess I would have preferred the perils in the movie to have more to do with teleportation experiments and accidents than with an external threat. A strong villain would be better introduced in a sequel.tvindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09944046580562714104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289595359432630118.post-52312467094670043822008-05-05T01:30:00.000-04:002008-05-05T01:30:00.000-04:00Interesting ....

I was prepared to dislike it, because of the negative reviews, but really enjoyed it.<BR/><BR/>I thought Samuel L.

IMHO the movies should have spent a lot more exploring the cool possibilities of teleporting (which it did to some degree), but they tried to clain way too much into the plot, and the fight against the villain was so prolonged and uninteresting that I barely remember it.tvindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09944046580562714104noreply@blogger.com
