The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Tunç Başaran tarafından yönetilen film Sezgin Burak'ın Mars'ın Kılıcı adındaki çizgi romanına sadık kalınarak çekilmiştir. Tarkan serisinin ilk filmi olan bu filmde devam filmlerinde de olduğu gibi Tarkan karakterini Kartal Tibet canlandırmıştır. Tarihsel film niteliği de taşıyan yapımda Avrupa Hun İmparatoru Attila, Vandal Kralı Genseriko ve Roma İmparatoru Valentinianus'un Savaş Tanrısı Mars'ın sihirli kılıcını el geçirme çabaları işlenmektedir.
