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
Based on Chinese mythology, the film follows a girl named Bema who is the Lotus Messenger. She must find the twelve reincarnated zodiac animals to defeat a rising demon king.

What happens
即依據中國神話故事為基礎，再進行改編的電影作品。導演是曾活躍於香港袁家班的趙中興，編劇是女主角劉致妤的親伯父劉正謙。 大地陷於黑暗，佛祖即將涅盤，魔王即將甦醒，凡間再掀波瀾。為此，佛祖乃派遣己封為十二地支神的十二生肖及「蓮花使者」貝瑪，負責下凡拯救蒼生。後來，十二生肖則四散各地，轉世成人；而蓮花使者貝瑪降世於布達拉宮內。 經過十二年，居住於布達拉宮內的小美女貝瑪，已逐漸長大，在老師干摩地仁波切教導之下，精通真言咒語。有一日貝瑪準備回宮，舉辦坐床大典。同時，魔王復活，派遣蛇姬妖率群魔襲擊寺廟，仁波切、眾喇嘛、僧兵等死傷慘重，貝瑪在康楚的護送下逃出，但群魔緊追不捨，貝瑪巧遇「龍種」（生肖龍的化身）幫助擊退群魔。 從此，貝瑪沿途尋找遺落在凡間的十二生肖們，以便合力前往魔宮打敗魔王…… (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
