It was okay.  Not really impressed.  I was really looking forward to it, so my expectations were a little high. 

Acting was average.  Special effects were weak.  Story was weak.  It was mildly entertaining. 

Wanted was much better.

It was ok. I saw the dvd extras that reminded me that the early trailer had scenes that were cut from the film. They have been held for the sequel. The story has been written out to be a trilogy. I'd consider reading the books but in the interviews showed that the movies are different.

I'm glad to hear that.  I thought the first  half of the movie was cool but the story fell apart past the midpoint.  A real disappointment.  If they can pull it together with a better script in the sequel they can save it.  Effects are nice but you can't save a bad script with special effects.

Someone here (or on IMDB) mentioned other teleportation movies.  What other teleportation movies are out there?
