Amazon.com: The often breathtaking, final installment in the Bourne trilogy finds the titular assassin with no memory closing in on his past, finally answering his own questions about his real identity and how he came to be a seemingly unstoppable killing machine. Matt Damon returns for another intensely physical performance as Jason Bourne, the rogue operative at war with the CIA, which made him who and what he is and managed to kill his girlfriend in the series' second film, The Bourne Supremacy. Now looking for payback, Bourne goes in search for the renegade chief of CIA operations in Europe and North Africa, partnering for a time with a mysterious woman from his past (Julia Stiles) and constantly--constantly--on the run from assassins, intelligence foot soldiers, and cops. Directed by Paul Greengrass (United 93) with the director's thrilling, trademark textures and shaky, documentary style, The Bourne Ultimatum is largely a succession of action scenes that reveal a lot about the story's characters while they're under duress. Joan Allen, Albert Finney, David Strathairn, Scott Glenn, and Paddy Considine comprise the film's terrific supporting cast, and the well-traveled movie leads viewers through Turin, Madrid, Tangiers, Paris, London, and New York. Overall, this is a satisfying conclusion to Bourne's exciting and protracted mystery. --Tom Keogh

Driving backwards off a parking garage, crashing and walking away? Oh, I don't think so... This one really pushes the implausability meter. I mean, initially it works, and I'm with it. But when we get up to to the sequences of "jumping off a roof through windows and landing perfectly" then the serious doubts start to manifest. Great, breath-taking action and jerky cinematography (but would it have killed them to mount the camera, just once, for just one still scene?)
The big payoff at the end was sortof a dud. I won't give spoilers here but... that's it? That was the big three-years-of-running, three-film secret?
I dunno. Not much of a payoff. Now Bourne vs. 6-7 super-soldier guys in hand-to-hand.... that would have been cooler.
Thumbs down if you need to, but I bet you thought the same thing...
amazing action/fight scenes truly enjoyable movie, fight scenes much better choreographed than the first Bourne movie. Lots of allusions to the first two so be sure that you see those first. It's a shame that this is the last one, they keep getting better.
Love the Bourne Movies, slow download Movie was great, but the slow download means the on demand feature is too slow to be practical. It took 30 minutes to BEGIN the download and about two more hours to actually download!
The Ultimate Ride Not being a proffesional reviewer all I know is this film was the culmination of a sensational piece of entertaiment plus!! It's a non stop adventure ride with all the twists and turns of a great storyline. The casting of Matt Damon was a stroke of genius. The last film was probably the most exilerating. When I need a night of pure escapism sitting down and watching the Bourne saga is the perfect medicine. I LOVE IT!!!
Great movie. Horrible combo I am glad that HD DVD lost the HD format war. The HD DVD combo format was such a flop that I cannot understand why Universal and Warner continued to issue then. The only reason I bought this US combo version and not the UK non-combo version was the fact that the US version had a Dolby TrueHD soundtrack. I have seen this movie a lot and the movie freezes at almost the exact same place, around 1:27 when the bad guys are chasing Bourne in the parking lot, and I am getting tired of it.
However, the movie itself is simply amazing. I didn't like it at all when I saw it in the theater. I think it was because I sat too close to the screen. This HD DVD version is so good (other than the horrible combo stuff described above). The picture and sound is really great. I have come not to like too much the computer manipulated colors on various other releases, like Spider-man 3 and the latest Harry Potter. The natural colors and saturation on this release is so great, full of detail. The sound is equally great with really good dynamics and space created by my five speakers. It is a very engaging sountrack, the basses are deep and the details are clear.
I haven't returned this because I know that all combo format HD DVDs are the same (I have the same experience with American Gangster, which I bought in a local shop where I live, and am considering buying the UK version to get a non combo version) and I can get around it with some fast rewind. What seems to work when the movie freezes is to rewind a couple of seconds and play the sequence again. Ever so often the playback continues past the point it froze. Like I wrote above is this the only version with Dolby TrueHD, so I have chosen to keep it. Anyone considering buying this version should consider buying the UK version instead if the Dolby TrueHD soundtrack isn't that important to you.
