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

The Second Persian Gulf Battle II is a 2017 Iranian computer animated epic war film directed by Farhad Azima. The content of the animation is focused on a visionary prospective war between U.S. Navy and Iranian Revolutionary Guard in Persian Gulf. The lead of the film, Commander Qasem, is a reference to Qasem Soleimani, according to Farhad Azima. Farhad Azima has declared in an interview that the animation can be a response to the recent elected president of United States, Donald Trump: "I hope that the film shows Trump how American soldiers will face a humiliating defeat if they attack Iran," Azima said. "They all sink and the film ends as the American ships have turned into an aquarium for fishes at the bottom of the sea." This animation is released shortly after Trump put Iran "on notice". According to the director Azima, it took more than four years to make the animation and the total production cost was 10 billion rials ($308,000). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
