Even though we were on the second row and one seat from the left of the auditorium this was still a fantastic movie. As always it has a superb, gritty, frantic feel about it. There’s always one stand out hand-to-hand fight in every Bourne film and this one is no exception. The fight choreography is exceptional, I think I forgot to breathe for the entire duration. I agree with Michael Heilemann’s comments though that it seems all CIA hitman have to be male models with man-bags.

The final scene nicely echoes back to the opening scene of the first film with Bourne once again floating in the water. Plus, for once it was a blockbuster that wasn’t blatantly fishing for a sequel at the end of the film.

• Very surreal scenes in the “locker”, a lot more so than I was expecting
• Faultless CGI, as you would expect from ILM
• Keira’s hair seems to change every other scene
• Keith Richard’s cameo is entertaining and not overly gratuitous
• Initially the plot is a bit all over the shop but it comes together in the end
• Good usage of Sea Turtles
• Chow Yun-Fat is nicely menacing as the pirate king from Singapore
• You get to see Bill Nighy minus CGI!
• So Jack really is mad…

• Slightly too many bad-guys.
• An even better Bruce Campbell cameo than the first two films. His French accent had Kerry in stitches.
• The plot isn’t as smooth as the first two, it was like they were trying to cram loads of “cool stuff” into the last one in the trilogy.
• Excellent sandman “sand” CGI.
• Emo spiderman!

Danny Boyle’s latest film is hugely influenced by old skool sci-fi like 2001 and Alien. Lots of slow graceful special effects shots, very reminiscent of the ballet-like docking scenes of 2001. Mixed with the claustrophobia and utility of the internal shots of the spacecraft. It has a cast of relative unknowns apart from Cillian Murphy who interestingly isn’t initially portrayed as the lead. I’d recommend seeing it at a cinema as the “solar” special effects are awesome on the big screen.

• Aranovsky’s latest is his usual bizzare mix of “what the f*ck” and amazing visuals.
• Weiz/Jackman are both good.
• Jackman crying is sad.
• Awesome space visuals especially inside a Nebula.
• Another Mayan film?
• Remember, nobody expects the Spanish inquisition…
