The Bourne Ultimatum

Firstly, I'd like to let everyone in Canada know that there is an opportunity to go watch the Bourne Ultimatum free. All you have to do is go to a Volkswagen dealership and ask about the Bourne Ultimatum promotion. You will be given a DVD set with the first two Bourne movies and two passes to watch the Bourne Ultimatum. All you have to do is go for a test drive in the Touareg. The contest will be available while supplies last so your mileage may vary. If you don't get it at one dealership, try another Volkswagen dealership. The passes are not good for Cineplex and Famous Players theatres, so go find the appropriate theatre before going.

Now on to the movie.

I will try to keep it short so I don't spoil it for people that haven't seen it yet. The action is good, the soundtrack keeps your heart going and there isn't much downtime from the action once it gets going. Of course it isn't a Bourne movie without the car chases and explosions! The camera is very similar to the second one; very fast moving and close to everything. The quick cuts, shaky close up angles, and soundtrack definitely give a chaotic feeling to the scenes. The one thing I don't like about the movie is the shaky camera during the non-action scenes. I guess the director is trying to give a voyeuristic feel to it.

Overall, it was a good movie and definitely worth watching in the theatres.

You don't have to mention Famous Players since it has already been bought by Cineplex.

Yes they did get bought out, but not everyone knows that and I rather not get comments complaining that I gave false information or something. :D Thanks for the reminder.
