The Bourne Trilogy(2002-2007)Action | Adventure | Mystery | Thriller     The Bourne Identity: After being pulled from the sea with two bullets in his back, Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) awakens on a fishing boat with no memory of his involvement in a top- secret, black ops arm of the CIA called Treadstone. The only clue to his identity is the number of a Swiss bank account in which he discovers an array of passports and weapons, as well as a fortune in cash. As he struggles to regain his memory, his former employers dub him a rogue agent and target him for termination. When an equally deadly assassin codenamed "Professor" (Clive Owen) is sent to dispose of him, Bourne rediscovers his extraordinary survival skills, including hand-to-hand combat, martial arts and multiple languages, and begins to understand who he really is. As he struggles to unlock the secret of his own identity, Bourne has to deal with his past in order to ensure his own future. The Bourne Supremacy: When his lover is murdered and he is framed for the assassination of a fellow agent, Jason Bourne finds himself on the run again. But as he closes in on his girlfriend's killers, he realizes his former handlers are back on his trail. After his fingerprints are found at the scene of a murder in Berlin, an ambitious CIA operative (Joan Allen) becomes determined to stop him once and for all. Haunted by debilitating fragmented memories as he navigates the labyrinth of international espionage, Bourne (Matt Damon) must outwit, outmaneuver and outmuscle some of the most powerful forces in the world just to survive. The Bourne Ultimatum: All he wanted was to disappear. Instead, Jason Bourne (Damon) is now hunted by the people who made him what he is. Having lost his memory and the one person he loved, Bourne has only one objective: to go back to the beginning and find out who he was. Now, Bourne will hunt down his past in order to find a future. He must travel from Moscow, Paris and London to Tangier and New York City as he continues his quest to uncover the truth behind his mysterious past -- all the while trying to outwit a new generation of highly-trained assassins as well as the relentless CIA operatives who will stop at nothing to prevent him from learning his true identity. For more details about The Bourne Trilogy on Blu-ray, see The Bourne Trilogy Blu-ray Review The Bourne Trilogy Blu-ray, Video Quality  The Bourne Trilogy has been an eagerly awaited addition to many growing Blu-ray libraries around the world. Universal originally released the three films on the fledgling HD DVD format and the titles represented some of the better transfers offered during the course of the format's run. Fortunately, Universal has revisited all three films for this Blu-ray edition and has graced each title with a fresh, new, Blu-ray optimized encode. All three films are presented in their original theatrical aspect ratios and have been encoded using VC-1 in full 1080p. The three films all feature a very gritty look that includes plenty of film grain and a definitive stylistic visual appearance. The Bourne Identity Perhaps due to it being the first of the films, The Bourne Identity has more of a rough-around-the-edges look than the two sequels. It’s the grittiest and grainiest of the films and occasionally flirts with crushed blacks and odd contrast levels. I have no doubt that the look is intentional, but it does stand as somewhat of a slightly different look to that of the two films that follow it. From a color perspective, The Bourne Identity features a mostly drab color palette that presents the occasional splash of vivid color. Detail is excellent throughout and the transfer maintains the illusion of projected film consistently during the presentation. The Bourne Identity has never looked better.  The Bourne Supremacy Though similar in appearance in many respects to The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy benefits from a slightly crisper image and more saturated colors. All three of the Bourne films utilize the talents of Cinematographer Oliver Wood; a capable and skilled DP who clearly refined his intended look for the series over the course of the trilogy. The biggest change to the look of The Bourne Supremacy comes from its use of "shaky cam" photography. While I'm not personally a fan of this particular style of action photography, this Blu-ray encode does a excellent job of capturing every vomit-inducing moment displayed on-screen. Style preferences aside, this transfer has darker blacks than its predecessor, finer detail and a visible yet more delicate grain structure. The Bourne Ultimatum Looking much like the VC-1-encoded twin of The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum has all the positive qualities of its predecessor while achieving slightly more refined levels of detail. "Shaky cam" usage is still in full effect, like it or not, but it certainly adds to the audience participation element of an action scene. For those who regularly experience motion sickness, I'd recommend your favorite anti-nausea medication as a good alternative to popcorn. At any rate, The Bourne Ultimatum looks exceptional on Blu-ray and, like the previous two films, is free from digital artifacts, macroblocking, edge enhancement, halos, excessive DNR, Ted Turner Colorization, additives, preservatives or any other unwanted alterations to the source material. The Bourne Trilogy is a near-reference grade transfer on Blu-ray and is highly recommended. The Bourne Trilogy Blu-ray, Audio Quality  The Bourne Trilogy kicks and punches its way onto Blu-ray with a first rate series of 5.1 DTS HD-Master Audio tracks that are sure to test the limits of any home theater system. All three films are veritable sonic masterpieces that feature deep and profound bass, explosive dynamics and an abundance of directional surround activity. Of all three tracks, The Bourne Identity is probably the weakest of the three. Identity tends to be slightly less active than the sequels with respect to track dimensionality and surround usage. Of course, this is entirely relative, as even the weakest of this bunch is still monumentally dynamic and involving. I was taken aback by just how in your face these tracks are. Having seen all three films theatrically, on DVD and even HD DVD, none of the previous versions could hold a candle to the audio delights contained within this Blu-ray-specific presentation. For those of you with powerful subwoofers, be prepared to potentially have to make a few adjustments to your volume settings. Bass frequencies are handled in a brute force manner with each film. Every punch and kick is met with a resounding thud of bone-crunching intensity while gunshots are piercing and exceptionally powerful Directional activity is massive and enveloping; creating a three dimensional sound field that fills the room and shocks the senses. Make no mistake, The Bourne Trilogy is reference grade audio material and receives my highest recommendation.
