I don't really know what to say about this movie because frankly I don't really know much to nothing of what it's about.A low-key indie-drama with a supernatural 'twist' (I say that lightly) that seems extremely random, but then as I can't make much sense of the movie it's not any more random than anything else in it I suppose.The acting was fine, the cinematography was nice and but that doesn't help much when the plot is so in the air and we're never really given a chance to know why the characters do what they do and how they become to be what they are.There is potentially some sort of philosophical or poetic meaning behind the all but colour me stupid but I don't know what that would be, and I'm not really sure I care.

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.6/10

The 4 main actors were phenomena. I have seen practically every English movie ever made in my 45 years and with piles of crap coming out daily, high quality and intriguing films like this one are far and few.I am not going to get into a plot analysis because my family loved it and didn't find any faults at all with the film.I can tell you this though, and to give you an example of what to expect with this film; I just watched Chloe Moretz in a new film called the 5th wave and by comparison, this Kiernan Shipka completely blows Chloe out of the water as far as acting goes.Kiernan acted so convincingly that you believe she is the actual person who she is playing in this movie, so much so that watching Chloe made it appear that Chloe has lost entirely her acting ability.Excellent flick and a must see.Ps: There was absolutely no filth or vulgarity in this movie. No lesbo scenes or anything else normal folks have no interest in. Major props to the directors, writers and producers who created an awesome movie the whole family can watch and enjoy (excluding little kids).

It was a promising premise for a 'supernatural' movie, with strong development for the teenage characters. Revelation of mysterious circumstances began to unfold, but unfortunately stop cold in giving rewarding and satisfying conclusions.The producers/director have done a remarkable job in raising expectations and heightening the audience curiosity, but failed miserably to bring closure to the very same question. In the end, the movie seems to simply took a snapshot of events that occur over a period of, say 1 week, and took the audience through it, and left without a shred of answers.If the purpose is to do just that, then, they have achieved it greatly.
