Great spy/action movie which should find its place on the shelf of any good movie collection.
The transfer to HD-DVD is very good with the bonus of U-Control in-movie info pop-ups which are a great feature of HD-DVDs
Movie Review: This Action Flick is a Winner
Summary: 5 Stars
Perfect casting, well plotted, and great action sequences make this movie a 5 star show! This is one of few movies out there that deserves to be made into a trilogy.Movie Review: The first one is still the best
Summary: 5 Stars
Like the title of my review says, the first Bourne movie is still the best, at least as far as the film itself goes. I did enjoy the final film in the trilogy quite a bit (especially when compared to the second movie) but the first film is still the most fun and the most impactful. With a story like the one surrounding the ill-fated Jason Bourne, it's tough to top the character's journey in this first movie, where he slowly discovers what he can do, what he is and finally who he is.
The movie tells the story of one Jason Bourne, found floating in the middle of the ocean with an pretty basic case of amnesia. After being dropped off in Europe, he discovers he has skills and abilities that no normal person should have. With the help of a woman whom he offers $20,000 to drive him to Paris, Bourne slowly uncovers clues to his past while being chased by CIA operatives and several black ops agents with skills similar to his.
The high-definition transfer of this fast-paced thriller is pretty darn good. It's not a pristine reference-quality disc, but it's not very easy to find HD movies that look a whole lot better than this one. The level of detail is high, the film lacks overt amounts of graininess, and there is nary a sign of compression artifacts to distract from one's enjoyment of the action unfolding. It's one of the better HD movies I've had the pleasure of watching. I have no trouble recommending a purchase.
Movie Review: A solid and entertaining thrill-ride of a movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Matt Damon is Jason Bourne - an agent of the U.S. government who has lost his memory, yet retains a great deal of intelligence and martial arts skills. The CIA believes he has failed a mission he was sent to accomplish in Europe. When they learn he is alive, they quickly use a league of agents to hunt down Bourne before time runs out on the clock, and the men involved with the screw up get in real trouble. The plot gets very detailed throughout the film, but this is the basic idea.
Though there are some nice fight scenes and a great car chase in the film, the plot is always moving along, so there is little need for an abundance of action to keep things rolling. I love films like this, cause when there is action, it actually holds some meaning when it occurs. Bourne and the woman he accompanies (who the CIA is also after) share a great chemistry - both as characters and as actors. The remainder of the cast is solid, and includes stars such as Julia Styles and Clive Owen - both who actually player lesser characters in the film, though nice to see.
Best thing about this film is the non-stop running of Bourne. He rarely gets time to stop for a breather, therefore making this film a very easy one for the viewer to stay alert to. There is a detailed plot that takes a lot to follow every step of what's going on, but it is just as easy to watch if you prefer to sit back and enjoy the ride.
Compared to James Bond in a sense, Bourne actually feels much more realistic. While Bond is more fun and action packed in the long run, Bourne gives us a greater taste of reality.
