The Bourne Ultimatum : 3 of 5
9.05.2007 7:36 AM \| Link	I really don't know anything about the Jason Bourne saga, since I'm positive I didn't see the second movie, and I don't even know for sure if I saw the first (since I can't remember it!). But even though I wasn't planning on seeing The Bourne Ultimatum, it was a fun way to spend my Labor Day evening with my pals at the Alamo, and I really enjoyed the movie! Ernesto and Matt gave me a little background info to catch me up, but actually I think the film does a great job of presenting just enough so it can stand alone really well (I didn't find myself asking any questions once it got started). The whole movie is one big chase as the government tries to stop Bourne from returning to the place where he first became Jason Bourne, and of course there are tons of foreign countries, lots of hi-tech surveillance systems, amazing tricks to throw off pursuers, and almost non-stop action! The fighting scenes are pretty incredible, actually, with lots of hand-held, close-up camera work that makes you feel like you're part of the struggle (definitely nothing like artistic Matrix-style fighting!). This grittiness also applies to the big car chase scene, which I wouldn't even call a chase, since most of the time they're crashing. Bourne certainly has a demolition derby style of driving, which makes for an unbelievable sequence! I had a great time learning about these characters and getting into all the action, so I could definitely be persuaded into seeing the next movie if they make one. Labels: movies
