   Loved the books. Loved the movie. The second book was maybe a sort of Jumper Bourne so I hope they use that premise instead of the outerspace/time travel thing. Keep it earthbound Doug.
   
   Yes the power is genetic but in the books, if you teleport many many times with someone who has that ability then you're able to teleport too. I missed the hint about Millie in the movie too.
   
   That's why they call it sci fi/fantasy. It's all good.

   I liked the mythology and found the concept to be interesting so I'd be game for a sequel assuming the Bilson/Christensen plotline was nixed.

   SPOILER WARNING:
   
   Just to let everyone know...The hint was Millie teleporting during the end of the movie. It was the part after David Teleported the whole room of people into the lake and then became unconcious. It was Millie who Teleported them back to the library. If there were any hints, it would have to be that.

   Loved the movie, I dont know why everyone is hating on Christensen/Bilson, give them a chance, they are young, you cant go switching characters/actors around for sequels. and the out of planet thing sounds kind of lame, keep it on earth, keep it simple, but definitely make a sequel!

   Oh wow, they can't be serious.
   
   I'm not hating on Christensen/Bilson romantic vector, but his acting seems like it's based on whining. I think the film could have had a huge cult following if the filmmakers would have done things differently.
   
   Jumping through time could be really cool, of course they'd probably botch that and it would be too similar to the Back to the Future series.

   I loved Jumper! I think it was one of the best movies Ive seen this year...Plus I love Hayden Christensen I have since he was in a show on the family channel I think he is a great actor and everyone needs to leave him alone. I was so happy at the end cuz it just seemed like it was set up for a sequal and I cant wait for it to come out!

   I agree great movie i also liked the charactors and plot and thought it left nicley showing that haydens compasion would create an ongoing chase between samuels charactor and his mom. i too missed that hint of his girlfriend transporting to the library but now im going to watch it agian to see i will also pay to see the sequel in hopes it funds a trilogy!

   i liked the books much better than the movies.
   they add more to the people (obviously), its not just oh i think i'll go here.
   if they stick to the books a little more in the sequel i'd be happy.
   but i'd see it either way.

   this movie was awesome i think that having the Christensen/Bilson combo was good allowed me to watch this movie with my girlfriend and not have to deal with her complaining.
   I dont really buy that she was the one that teleported them at the end why would she pick the same place that he had first teleported to......i think that he brought them there. just like the first time he was about to die and boom he is there that makes more sense then her first teleportation being to the same place that his was. thats what i think

   I agree with ryan. I think the library was an subconcious jump like it was in the beginning when he was under the river. He didn't have to think about it he just did it. That's why he jumped to the library again.
   
   As for the sequel, I can't wait!!!

   I thought the movie looked cool, but the plot was horrible. Random people have the ability to "jump" but they are really bad people, morally speaking. He robs banks, takes what he wants, and he doesn't even help anyone! When he sees the news of the people stranded out there, he immediately thinkas about going to London and getting laid! Well, I for one am not watching the sequel, because they are plenty of stupid movies out there if I get bored.

   1st off: 2Whoever James is.... Since apparently you're oblivious & havn't realized that the world is not a nice place yet, maybe you should stick to Disney&the Family channel. The fact that he took all the money& didn't save the ppl in the flood @the beginning is part of a strategy filmakers use called "character building." If you watch the film you realize that @1st he uses his powers like most ppl would, "selfishly" then @the end he starts to realize that he was prbly given these powers for a reason & it should be used for good. Look @90% of superhero movies out there, they pretty much all use the same equation. Good guy gets powers, good guy uses them selfishly, good guy, screws something up, good guy learns "With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility!", &then the hero starts to use his powers only for good. Okay I'm done ranting.... Great movie & can't wait 2stand in line for the sequel! Just pleasse do not ruin it by time or space travel. All they need to do is explore the relationship between mother & son, the war thats now raging & the history of jumpers & paladins! With that alone you could make another 4movies (Wouldn't that be freakin awesome!
