Movie Reviews of King Kong [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Great film, pathethic user experience/art gallery
Summary: 2 Stars
I just watched the extended version. It was great! Sure some scenes were over dramatized and others were a tad too long to convey a simple story elements but the beauty of the film alone makes it a 4 star affair. But this review is not for the movie, its for the disc.
When I bought the disc I read the back. It mentioned an art gallery. I thought, "Great, some high definition artwork to enjoy!". Instead viewers are slapped in the face with what appears to be abismally small thumbnails that pop up WHILE WATCHING THE MOVIE!! From what I could understand from the already terrible user interface was you had to play the movie to see the artwork in the corner of the screen. If there was another way to view them the disc fails because I couldn't find the options and I'm usually pretty savvy at finding the right button if its there.
The user interface is pretty disgusting. It might look slick but it is full of issues. Sometimes its impossible to determine what you've selected to watch, the Extended or Theatrical version, WHO KNOWS the menu doesn't highlight it properly. The U-Control idea?? Rubbish! Just let me choose at the beginning. A making of feature would've been nice.
The lack of a proper art gallery really irks me cos its part of the reason why I bought the disc. I suppose they want us to buy the artwork book seperately. Very lame and cheap of them in my book. Shame the discs shortcomings dragged the otherwise fun romp-of-a-film experience down.
