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

Warriors of Future (Chinese: 明日戰記; lit. 'Tomorrow's War'), previously known as Virtus (Chinese: 矛盾戰爭), is a 2022 Hong Kong military science fiction action film directed by visual effects artist Ng Yuen-fai in his directorial debut and starring Louis Koo, Sean Lau, and Carina Lau. Koo also serves as the film's executive producer, with the film being funded and distributed by his production company, One Cool Group Limited. Having been in development for three years, the film began production on 12 February 2017 and was originally set for release in 2019. After a long delay, the film opened the 46th Hong Kong International Film Festival on 15 August 2022 and released theatrically on 25 August 2022 in Hong Kong. The film became the highest-grossing domestic film in Hong Kong at that time. The box office record was then broken by A Guilty Conscience in February 2023. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
