Reviews are nothing but opinions. YOU, however, haven't actually seen the film, so how can you possibly make meaningful, informed comments about it? You can't. Yet here you are.
But did you actually clean it or does it just LOOK clean? Many times a disc will appear to be fine, but cleaning it will resolve a playback issue anyway. It costs nothing to try it and see what happens.
I just popped my copy in to check. Menus loaded normally and the film started normally. I skipped around a few chapters with no issues. Player is a Panasonic UB9000.
