For what its worth! I have a HD DVD player, love it and the discs I have so far are (I believe), a cut above Blu Ray. I got Bourne #3 as have the other two and wanted to complete collection. If you are reading this, you know the Bourne film series plot, characters and plot twists, so concentrating on what this HD DVD offeres Vs standard def DVD.
The interactive features (VW promo, be a spy-game) are ok, not essential)
Where this disc shines and more than worth the $20 price is in its "U Control" features (aka Java-type pop up info). A massive jump from first Bourne HD DVDs bonus features (best being the Paris appartment fight scene), #3 from the opening seconds piles info, interviews and technical data onto your TV screen.
Best seen to believe, have shown this HD DVD to an engineer friend and the train station & intelligence intercept on-screen data stunned him.
Bottom line: if you have a HD DVD player, $20 and want to see just how amazing a film can look, sound and be packed with fascinating extras, get this! |
