Exciting all the way, yes, but oh those hand-held camera shots!!!!

Rating: 9/10 (29 August 2007)

Despite all the comments in 'Supremacy' reviews about the amateur cameraman they used for all the wobbly hand-held shots, they went and used him again in 'Ultimatum', the idiots. At times you couldn't see what the action was supposed to be. Will they never learn? I guess the technique is trendy and is meant to convey frantic action, but it sure was overdone, the man must have thought he was hosing the garden. If he had tried to hold the camera as steady as possible, then it would have looked shaky enough. Anyone who has taken home movies will know the result. There was of course the obligatory car chase, and the bits that could be seen through all the camera-shake were certainly spectacular. Anyway, it's a great film, thoroughly recommended, and I hope there will be a further episode. Will Nicky be Jason's new love I wonder?
