Default Apollo 13 problem...please help

I'm surprised to find no previous forum posts about this, but Apollo 13 is giving me major headaches. Judging from the reviews at Amazon, it seems like lots of people are having this problem. But that's not the appropriate place for discussion, so here goes: my Apollo 13 BD simply will not play. First, it takes a very long time just to load--and I mean ten times longer than any other BD I've watched. But I can deal with this. The real problem is that the movie WILL NOT PLAY. Once the top menu is on the screen, I can browse the different set-ups and bonus features, but when I hit "play," it goes into its brief mosaic of movie shots, exactly as you'd expect before the screen blacks out and the flick begins, but then it re-loops this sequence again and again and again, for hours if I let it keep going. It won't play the movie. And at this point, it is also impossible to get the menu options back on-screen. To retry, you have to stop the movie. When you re-start it, it has to load all over again for another 8 minutes or so. If I try to bypass the "play" option, and instead open up the chapters and click on chapter 1, the same problem as above starts all over again.

So I need some help from those who have posted reviews here, since you obviously have been able to view your copy of the movie. I would greatly appreciate any advice.

Just so you know, my player is a Panasonic DMP BD35. It plays everything else I've ever tried with no problems. I know that Universal movies sometimes require a firmware update. It so happens that there is an update available for my player (2.2), but when I try to put the update in my player, I get the screen message that the website says means my player does not need an update... However, it is not impossible that my attempted burning of the update onto a CD-R didn't work properly because the downloadable file provided by Panasonic is in the ".frm" format and it's virtually impossible to work with.

Also, my player unfortunately cannot hook-up to the internet because I have no cable internet connection.

Is there anything I can do? Please help!
