I went to see this on Thursday, July 28ht, 2016, here in Vallejo, CA, at the CENTURY 14 VALLEJO, for the 10:00 p.m. Advanced Screening in auditorium 8, 6th row from the front, 10th column from the right. The price of admission was $11.50. And I bought a $5.40 Nachos w/ Cheese and a $0.00 ( free on my movie-watcher e-mail reward coupon ) at the concessions counter.
2nd time: I went to see this again on Sunday, July 31st, 2016, here in Vallejo, CA, at the CENTURY 14 VALLEJO, for the 7:30 p.m. show in auditorium 7, 6th row from the front, 8ht column from the left. The price of admission was $8.00. And I bought a $5.40 Nachos w/ Cheese and a $0.00 ( free on my movie-watcher e-mail reward coupon ) at the concessions counter.
The audience liked it. I liked it, somehow. I think that the first 3 movies in this franchise are better than this 4th installment. Go see this if you like the Jason Bourne movies.
Here are some things wrong in this movie: With such a sophisticated anti-hack defense, why is the US still getting hacked by the Chinese, the Russians and the Israelis? I don't think that she stayed around long enough to make sure that the hard drive was completely destroyed by the fire. If you're an ex government spy on the run, and you know that your secret service agency has facial recognition capability, wouldn't it only make sense on your part to alter your appearance by cutting/coloring your hair and altering your facial bone structure, or to change your nose profile and your jaw contour with the use of prosthetics, etc.? Why were the streets not ompletely clogged by protestors so that vehicles could not go through them in a high-speed chase? If Bourne was the sniper's intended target, why didn't he just wait for a few seconds--literally three seconds--to get a clear shot on Bourne? Why did the Dodge Challenger's ( ?) airbags not deploy? The slot machine's pull handle came off too easily. Jason had a few chances to gouge-out the bad guy's eyes but didn't take advantage of the occasion. When he pulled on the bad guy's legs to make him fall, he should have fallen back along with the bad guy, too. When the female agent locked her car using her remote control key fob, why didn't it activate the car's alarm so that Jason wouldn't be able to open its door without triggering it to go off? Why do they always have to play music in a minor key just to tip-off the audience that something bad is about to happen?

So, as it turned out, the object in the sky last night, Wednesday, July 27th, was the CZ-7 R/B upper stage of the Chinese Long March Rocket burning-up during reentry.

| I found this on the Internet. |
The funny thing was ... according to a co-worker, when his mom saw the burning space junk in the air, she panicked and screamed that the UFO aliens were coming! Ha, ha, ha. ( He better not read this and go to his mom to snitch on me! )
Another co-worker of mine, who is studying computer programming, told me that new computers don't come with CD/DVD players anymore because audio and video are now just streamed through the web. But what about those of us who have DVDs and CDs in their collection who like having the convenience of such a player already built-in in their computers? And what about those of us who would rather not be charged extra for music/song streaming? Watch what happens ... they will reintroduce laptop computers with built-in CD/DVD R/W players sometime soon and charge us extra for a piece of nostalgia!
When I watched this movie the first time around, I fell asleep through some scenes. So, I had to rewatch it. I must be getting too old for this movie-blogging hobby.
