I just watched the trailer of Push and it looks nothing like Jumper?? Jumper was shit, and it was adapted from a series of books and it was about a guy who could teleport, that’s not what Push is about at all.

What in the hell is Miss America wearing. It almost looks like one of Pam Andersons wedding dresses.

I’m confused. How is Push anything near of ripping off of Jumper? I’m not defending Push, but the trailer shows people with various different abilities that are being gathered for a special army while Jumper was about people who teleported… Or am I just missing something vital? Haha.

Push and Jumper are both basically rip offs of X men. mutants or whatever they call them in PUSH are trying to saving their race from cleansing. not a huge leap from every other comic adaptation where a group of misfits save the day and look cool doing it.
I’m just not a fan of Dakota Fanny’s monotone voice during the entire trailer! does she have voice immodulation disorder???
oh and I have once and finally realized that 3D movies, no matter how much hype there is…just isn’t that great unless its at Disneyland..

Ughh that Leona Lewis video was embarrassing to watch! The acting was bad, the “plot” was completely random, and I had to turn it off.

Rich Cronin sounds like a real winner. JLH should count her blessings she didn’t end up with that one.

I was kind of surprised to find out Cleopatra 3D wasn’t going to be another Baz Luhrmann spectacular. Sounds right up his ally.

Push doesn’t shockingly “Rip of the movie Jumper at all”.
Push follows a group of young government escapees on the run from a secret agency that wants to exploit their telekinetic and clairvoyant powers.
The origins of the characters in “Push” date back multiple decades: Their impressive powers are the results of Nazi scientists’ attempts to create super soldiers. (which is not a well known, but did happen)
Definitly in the same vein as X-Men or the TV show Heros, but not a “Rip off of Jumper”.
No teleporting/jumping involved!
Not cool!
