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

Sisu: Road to Revenge (Finnish: Sisu 2; stylized as SI2U) is a 2025 action film written and directed by Jalmari Helander. It is the sequel to Sisu (2022). Jorma Tommila reprises his role as Aatami Korpi, with Richard Brake and Stephen Lang. In the sequel, Korpi dismantles his old family house in now-Soviet Karelia, loads it on a truck, and transports it to rebuild somewhere safe in their honor. To avenge their losses to Korpi, the Soviet Union enlists Yeandor Draganov, a former Red Army officer who killed Korpi's family, to hunt him down. The film is produced by Petri Jokiranta and Mike Goodridge for Subzero Film Entertainment and Good Chaos respectively with Eric Charles' overseeing for Sony's Stage 6 Films. Unlike the previous film, which was set in Lapland, filming took place in Estonia. Sisu: Road to Revenge premiered at the Fantastic Fest on September 21, 2025. It was released in Finland on October 22, by SF Film Finland, and in the United States on November 21, by Sony Pictures Releasing through Stage 6 Films and Screen Gems. Like its predecessor, the film has received a positive reception from critics despite its significantly weaker box office success. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
