The DTS:X/DTS-HD Master Audio™ 7.1-channel soundtrack is a content-tension stimulator, with an exciting and rhythmic orchestral music score that aggressively occupies all seven ear-level channels. Still, this is an exciting and compelling filmic experience that sustains a constant level of tension with its rapid editing direction. But otherwise, due to the dark veiled stylization, foreground and backgrounds can exhibit some softness. Resolution is excellent, especially during close-ups of facial features, hair, clothing, and object texture. Contrast, within these parameters, is good, with generally revealing shadow delineation and deep blacks. Fleshtones also appear to integrate with the darker overall palette. Flashes of highlights, enhanced with HDR, penetrate the darker scenes, and daylight scenes appear naturally bright. This creates a mysterious feel to the imagery.
The color palette is darkly hued with hues generally less subdued in the low light. Previously reviewed in Issue 212, December 2016 as a Blu-ray Disc™ release, the 2.39:1 picture film was digitally captured and exhibits a dark, sinister, rough appearance, typically in low-light conditions with slight film grain apparent. As the 2K Digital Intermediate has been unconverted to 2160p, there is no real gain in native resolution.

#JASON BOURNE REAL OR FAKE 4K SERIES#
It's not as fresh or as innovative as the original trilogy, but is head and shoulders above the weak and ineffectual Bourne Legacy.įans of the series will enjoy this release. Jason Bourne is definitely showing its age in this latest instalment. The car chase on the Las Vegas strip is especially good and the final fight is a brutal sounding one.
Sound is loud and clear, with action scenes delivering plenty of 'crash, bang, wallop', duly exploiting the surround channels. The bassy score by John Powell and David Buckley helps sustain action sequences with an intensity that's become a trademark for the Bourne series. In terms of the audio it's a smashing soundtrack - quite literally in some cases. There's one instance where you can spot smudges of dirt on a computer screen, that helps the film's attempt to feel 'real'. The image is polished, but retains a gritty feel, with strong colours (explosions light up the screen) and plenty of dirt, dust and grime in the image. Greengrass is known for moving the camera image stability is string and there's little, if any, loss of focus.

Alicia Vikander's CIA agent is driven, while Tommy Lee Jones epitomises the snake-oil CIA agents we've come to expect from these films. The action scenes are thunderous and that gritty aesthetic that has been the hallmark of the series is present and correct.ĭamon's assasin is even more monosyllabic in this edition, driven by the need to find the truth and find a purpose in a world that's left him behind.
In that respect, Bourne feels a little tired and leggy, but both Damon and Greengrass have clearly put in the effort to make this return as good as they could. There's plenty of globetrotting, 'assets' engaged in familiar activities and action sequences that echo the visceral film of Supremacy and Ultimatum.īut the reasons for bringing Bourne back are lacklustre, as if Greengrass and Christopher Rouse couldn't quite pin down a reason to bring him back.
