IMDb Web Title Subpages Redesign

We are excited to announce IMDb’s redesign of Title subpages! In the coming days, IMDb will incrementally roll out its 12 redesigned Title subpages, which include a title’s subpage for news, plot summaries, release information, Metacritic, and more. The refreshed pages are meant to make your IMDb experience easier and more enjoyable by providing improved access to TV and movie content on any device and when on the go. The redesign follows ongoing site improvements and reflects changes suggested by IMDb customers, as well as our own in-depth research designed to enhance entertainment content, discovery, and navigation.
In the coming months, we will continue to update IMDb pages throughout the site. We hope you enjoy these latest and upcoming improvements, and thank you for continuing to make IMDb the world’s most trusted source for movie, TV, and entertainment content.

I'm seeing the new version of the Release Info page.
I like the links at top and bottom, top echoing the main page.
But specific to the Release info itself: I'm disappointed that an Expand All link is not near the top of each category (Release Date, AKA), as we have on the primary Name pages for Credits. Instead we have to scroll down and click the "nn more" link. I know my country will be alphabetized low on the list, so I'd like the ability to expand the list up top.
Speaking of alphabetizing, this page doesn't actually follow that rule: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7456722/releaseinfo
I'm seeing United Arab Emirates at the top of the release dates (with the same release date as all but the last item), Spain between Egypt and France, United Kingdom between France and Hong Kong, South Korea between Japan and Mexico, and South Africa after United States. Huh?

Oh good grief, what is this? I don't frequent this forum a lot. Barely ever. But I do use IMDB a lot and contribute a lot of its data, being within the Top 50 yearly contributors year after year after year after year and being at this stage among the Top 60 contributors of All Time to this website.
What is this? Just what is this? Can anyone, actually anyone, be it Col Needham, someone else working at IMDB or just anyone else actually explain how the new Release Date/Alternate Title page is better? I mean actually explain how it's better, not just "we beta-tested it and it was received fine"? How is it better?
Compare the now old page for Jurassic World Dominion with the new one through the attached screenshots below. Over the same amount of screen space, the old page gives you a ton more information clearly at a single glance than the new one. The old page also offers the handy side menu on the right to quickly access all the other sections for the title, which is completely absent from the new version.
The new version is less eye-pleasing, requires more clicks to get to the information you want, transforms every release date into a useless clickable, removes the side menu, does not display the film's title in my preferred language (why is it in French???),.... How is it better? What does it actually improve over the old version?
The new version of the Name pages was already not great, but this is egregious. Stop degrading your product! How is it any better?

Since the recent change of the design, when I see soundtrack entry, the title part of the song becomes unselectable by mouse
I see the entry from PC not mobile.

Why the movie title of the subpage is in English despite my content setting is
Title display country/region: Original
I think it should respect that setting.

I'm so happy I'm not alone in the opinions about this most recent so-called "update". I'm certainly not pleased for that update. I'm especially thinking about what happened to the title subpages. Until now, we got all the information we needed in one place. Subpages for release dates, all aka titles, movie connections... everything you'd like to know in just one or just a couple of clicks, and you could just read all the release dates and akas at once, same to all other subpages.
As it's now, you have to click to see more items per subpage. In other words, you have to "click to death" for more information. ☹️ Click to see more release dates and aka titles, click to see more movie connections, click to see more and more items and such... Jeepers, you call that "improvement" and "better"?
So yes, even the screenshots jean_morel took and uploaded to this discussion speak for itself.
This is not the "update" we IMDb users have asked for. I'm sorry, but I am very sore about this. 😤 In times, I have to use the "reference" view to get all the information I want.
☹️
And I'm very sad about it, because I have used IMDb for many years when it was very easy to use, and very easy and comfortable to read and look at. I will still contribute with new titles, as well as details on titles already existing on the database, because that is one of my big hobbies. Because of that, I guess I have no other choice than to accept that "update" and get used to it, regardless if I like it or not. These are my complains for this time, so far...
Sincirely, someone whose main hobbies have consisted of film and music since I was 3-year-old in 1989.

again, another new version and I only wish having a comprehensive version again, without clicking for additional information. I hope there will be forever movies pages, where I can see the full cast without additional clicks. It still annoys me quite much that I need extra klicks to see the full cast of a series.
It´s also annoying that I need to do so many clicks to see the full credits page of an actor.
I assume I`m not the only one who wishes the posibility to choose between the new and a comprehensive design, which is built to show all the information on a single page that was shown on a single page before permanently.
I know I once read in this forum that such a design would not be representative. But what does it have to do with representativity, if the users can decide for their own which version they prefer.

On the new format, while on an episode page, the name of the series (shown directly above the episode title) does not have an active link. On the old-format pages, it does. Example:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0609119/reviews/
yes
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0609119/technical
no
There needs to be a way to get to the series page directly from any episode page, as there is on the old format. Is there a link that I haven't found (and I looked under All Topics)? The optimum solution is to provide what the old pages do.

Why do the Technical Credits for a film no longer show the countries associated with the different running times? For example, the running times for the film "The Young Rebel" (U.S. title) here: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060227/technical?ref_=tttr_ql_dt_6
just show four different times, with no countries associated with them Yet. when I try to edit the page, the countries for the four running times appear on the edit screen.
