Just the selection in general was poor. Sure they had a few newer releases, most noticeable, some Marvel movies, but honestly they may had approx 10 movies excluding child movies, or comic book movies. With AA, they have 100's to select from, and most recently with my SQ flight, IFE had a few hundred of different hollywood films, and many genre's to choose from. For 16 hours a flight time, IMO, the selection was poor. This is not a make or break, but I expected more, and I expected a lot more from their 787 IFE- Which was probably the poorest IFE biz class product I've ever seen.
