Bourne Legacy review and storyline

WARNING : SPOILERS!

Let me say that I am a huge Jason Bourne fan. I was excited to see another Bourne movie released, but shocked to hear Matt Damon would not be in it when it was first announced.
Ill start off by saying that it just isn't the same movie without Jason Bourne. Treadstone and Blackbriar have been replaced with an operation called "Outcome". Agent 5, Aaron, doesn't suffer from amnesia, and doesn't need to find out who he is. Instead he happens to save his last doctor who wasn't assassinated in a rouge attack. Then they flee the ever CIA and secret task forces that are tracking their every move only hours behind them. This next generation called "outcome" was taking chemicals to keep their brains from frying. Aaron has lost his chemicals and only has hours to survive. He and his doctor, Marta Shering fly off to the lab in the Philippines to give Aaron the vaccine so that he won't require the chemicals anymore. When the CIA realize what they are doing they Dispatch a local agent to neutralize him. It ends in a long, exciting chase scene with Aaron and Marta winning. They then flew on a large fishing boat. I could only wonder how far it could actually take them. The ending is abrupt. The entire story isn't as in depth as the Bourne trilogy. It's a good watch, but can't match the originals.
