Unable to Bamf
Unable to Bamf
In the scene when Jean leaves the jet and lifts it while holding the water off, Scott yells at Kurt to go get her. You can see him trying to bamf and it looks like his image is just shaken a bit... because Jean isn't letting him. How would that work? Would it look the same if he were to bamf into place or what? It's a cool looking little effect though. I just don't see how Jean could keep him from bamfing but he would still do a little bamf-in-place thing....

I think she's using her powers to keep him in place, so he tries to BAMF but can't leave where he's starting from. He can't enter the portal, in a way.

And it seems to be established earlier that Jean can do this (albeit without the effect). She does announce "He's not going anywhere" when she telekinetically grabs him in the church.

a combo of telepathy - supressing the "switch" that is flipped to teleport
and telekinesis - holding him on the plane

But it appeared that he bamfed in place. So did she shut him out the dimention he goes through completely or keep him from getting any closer to her than he already was? Also, in the church, he didn't try to bamf away once she had him in midair. Probably just scared of triggering anything since he had no idea what was going on.

He didn't actually teleport on the plane. He tried, but he didn't.
In the church scene, just as Storm is saying "We don't wanna hurt you," we see him teleport. A split-second before he actually vanishes, we see smoke coming from his body. We can see smoke before he actually teleports.

True, and a small wisp of smoke can be seen in that whole "She's not letting me" part.

Oh yeah, I forgot about how you could see the smoke before he bamfed completely int he church scene.....
so how was she keeping him away from her? seems like she would have to know about the portal he travels through in order to prevent him from using it.....

Well, she has the ablilty to enter his mind and control what he does.
Kinda makes you feel sorry for Kurt. Just when he was finished being mind-controled by Stryker, Jean has to keep him from teleporting. He's being mind-controled by everyone!

It might have even been some kind of telekinetic force field either around Kurt or Jean.

most likely around herself, i would think. That's a lot of work to do! Hold back millions fo gallons of water, raise a jet off the ground while controlling its electronics, putting a force feild around yourself.....what a workout.

Gaz, I'm so glad you posted about this! The little-wisp-of-smoke-when-trying-to-bamf-to-Jean was my favorite "God is in the details" moment of the movie. I kept meaning to comment on it here, but, well, I was either lurking, or lazy, or ... you know what they say about the road to hell being paved with good intentions.

Bamfing in Place
Maybe she wasnt keeping him from goin to the other dimension, or making him bamf in place: Jean probably just stopped him from doin ne thing big, like he didnt even get started, like paralysis:?
