I just got the Constant Gardener on blu ray. According to the box it has a lot of features, book to movie with le carre etc. but there is no way to access them. The first thing on the screen after the warnings is a statement that the movie is about to start - no menu of choices, and you don't get even a "play" option - but it has a box in French and English that says you can press pop-up menu at any time for options. Pop-up menu only produces a choice of french or english audio (this is an Alliance release from amazon.ca). The movie then starts no matter what you do. No menu button on a brand new panasonic bd35 produces any menu for choosing any features. Has anyone else had this problem? Is this a problem with the disc or the player?

My guess is that there's a problem with the cover. The reviews I've seen indicates that there are no extra features...

Thanks to you both. I did not consider that the cover information might be wrong. GizmoDVD, where do you find this information?
