Regardless, I assume that they will be standardizing this across the fleet soon anyway so hopefully they do go with the best approach.
No, that's the CO interface. With it, if you leave a movie to check out the air show (or anything else), when you return you have to start the movie from scratch and fast-forward 5 minutes. It doesn't tell you how long the movie is, nor at what point you are within the movie.

Stylistically too, just feels a bit lacking and navigates clunkily, though that's more of an IMO.
