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

Megalodon est un film d'action et de science-fiction américain, réalisé par James Thomas, sorti en 2018. Il est produit par The Asylum, société célèbre pour ses séries B et ses « mockbusters » qui sortent plus ou moins simultanément avec les blockbusters (films à gros budget) afin de tenter de capitaliser sur leur succès. En l’occurrence, Megalodon s’inspire du film En Eaux troubles (en version originale : The Meg) de Jon Turteltaub, sorti la même année, ainsi que des films Shark Attack 3: Megalodon ou encore Megalodon de Pat Corbitt. L’intrigue emprunte également des éléments au film Battleship, notamment pour les discours patriotiques pro-américains démodés et l’esprit de cohésion des US Marines face à l’ennemi.
