"The Usual Suspects" on Blu-Ray (good/bad)

205.240.11.90

This was my first viewing of the movie, and I thought it kicked butt! I went in with no particular expectations, and was delighted at the plot twists. Video looked very good, but I wasn't examining the actor's pores or counting the hairs on their heads! The Blu-Ray features sucked: The popup menus were maybe the worst I've seen to date, with chapter navigation controls being really tiny and fussy, with thumbnails of the chapters not seeming much larger than an actual thumbnail. Minimal bonus features was disappointing too. The video is posh and deluxe; the features and navigation seem cut-rate by comparison: Not all that I'd expect from a premium-priced product. Latest Blu-Ray firmware supports Java, and dual-layer media is available, so I hope newer Blu-Ray releases will feel "premium" throughout.
