Bizarre, I've been watching The Bourne Ultimatum tonight on Sky HD (1080i) and it's great quality.

Yeah i haven't seen the HDDVDs, but i presume the SkyHD version has a similar look. I think it looks quite good. The film intentially has a very grainy and muted look, so maybe that's what the OP doesn't like about it. All reviews i've read about the HDDVD says that it's a very good representation of the cinematic release from a technical point of view.

It's probably a similar case to 300. It looks absolutely stunning on Blu-ray, and totally represents the way the film is meant to look, but a lot of people complained about the heavy grain used in the film. I'm all for artisitc intent in these cases.
