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.
How it feels
Five surviving Shaolin monks train to master their own fighting styles and seek revenge against the Qing forces that destroyed their temple. Each monk uses a different weapon and skill to take on a corrupt general and his army.
