The Bourne Ultimatum.

August 19, 2007 by rfhicks.

The furious pace of technology has brought us movies being produced in record numbers as production companies adopt technologies that help them assimilate,edit, and even in some cases substitute simulated actors. I recently went to the local cinema to enjoy a matinée and take advantage of the theater’s air conditioning to escape the August heat of California. I have a mantra that if I don’t enjoy the movie at least I have paid $7.50 for a little quiet time and some cool air.

I recently saw The Bourne Ultimatum at the local theater and for the first time in a great while I have gotten to enjoy a movie that has solid characterization, logical story plot, lots of action, and an old fashioned clincher for an ending that makes you want to see the movie again. I had seen the other two movies that comprise this trilogy, The Bourne Identity and the The Bourne Supremacy, but this last sequel shared the action packed pace and the mystique of CIA operative caught up in spy operation gone bad. I thoroughly enjoyed the first movie. The second entry I enjoyed but left me wondering whether or not it might be a rehash of the first. The last sequel really got my attention when all of Jason Bourne motives were revealed and we got to peek at his past.

I won’t give away anymore of the movie and I hope you have a chance to enjoy it.
