The video quality itself is great, with nice deep colors and none to very little noticeable grain. The sound quality follows the video qualities example. The extras are also very well done, with a very informative commentary being the best feature of them all.

In summary, if you are a fan of the movies and blu ray, you’ll love this package, as well with the other 2 flipper disc blu rays. They are not defective and are of a great quality all around.

I have a Samsung Blu Ray player with updated firmware (don’t get me started on that process) connected via HDMI cable to Samsung LCDTV, generally Blu Ray discs work fine on this set up, there are occasions when on other discs the movies will pause for a brief second and then continue however these Bourne movies were impossible to watch. To begin with they seem to feature their own unique controls meaning that trying to scan forward or backward would cause the disc to lock and seemingly stall, never did get the movie to scan properly. Then there were the issues with the movie in general, the picture repeatedly froze, in car chases and in Chapter 11 (and multiple points thereafter) while they are sitting talking in the car, the sound was then out of synch with the picture and more freezing and stalling, it was so bad that I ejected the discs and watched the old DVD versions of the movies. Utterly unacceptable, beyond annoying!

As for the movies themselves, what this experiment did show the dramatic improvement of the Blu Ray versions, the picture was much crisper, the colors richer and more saturated and certainly less noise in the picture, also the sounds was much better, more full and dynamic, too bad that the technology rendered the discs unwatchable.
The irony is that I had “upgraded” from an HDDVD when that format lost out and I had this movie on HD, there were NO problems, same outstanding picture and the player had none of the issues that I attribute to Blu Ray. For whatever reason I believe that Blu Ray is simply not ready yet, too many glitches, I don’t want to have to constantly monitor my firmware to watch a movie! That same kind of updating madness is what got me to migrate from a Windows PC to a Mac!

The bottom line is this, the movies are fantastic! Honestly one of my favorite trilogies and WHEN the disc is working the picture and sound really are phenomenal, the problem is in the “when”, it is frustrating and unacceptable to deal with these glitches, yes, the movies are being returned to Amazon and a formal letter of complaint is being registered with Universal Home Entertainment. My advice to you, skip these for now or at the very least try to hunt down the regular Blu Ray versions, not these dual discs and save yourself the frustration.

Ending this series of novel-based movies (since the next one is supposedly standalone), I felt Ultimatum was easily the best of the three because of two things: its unique continuity presentation and the obvious denouement. Taking place by actually filling in the end gap of Supremacy, you get a very different kind of “recap” of the last movie by having half of this one lead up to the last minutes of the previous one, and then a whole new movie by itself to finish things off. Here, Bourne reaches the end of his quest by going back to his place of origin, learning and remembering everything, while also exacting his revenge on the overpowered and corrupt bureaucracy running Treadstone/Blackbriar. My favorite elements of this movie, however, were the “cat & mouse” chases. I’ve seen many a good thriller over the years, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen a film pull it off with such elegant intensity. A Hong Kong movie called Infernal Affairs (which was later remade for America in The Departed, for those that don’t know) was probably the best of this genre that I’ve seen to date. But after seeing the Waterloo Station and 4-15-71 scenes, I really gotta’ hand it to the screenplay writers for constructing a cleverly-choreographed and well-scripted series of events. My favorite part of the movie is when Bourne calls Vosen (and everything else within that sequence, talk about stickin’ it to someone!). “If you were in your office right now we’d be having this discussion face-to-face… (*hangs up phone*).”

The print is also amazing.
