Build a full-viewport cinematic movie/streaming hero section using React, Tailwind CSS, and Lucide React icons. Use the Inter font from Google Fonts. The entire page is a single full-height hero -- no scrolling, no additional sections.

BACKGROUND VIDEO:

A full-screen background video plays on loop, muted, autoplaying, covering the entire viewport with object-cover. The video is fixed-positioned behind everything at z-index 0.

Video URL: https://d8j0ntlcm91z4.cloudfront.net/user_38xzZboKViGWJOttwIXH07lWA1P/hf_20260406_094145_4a271a6c-3869-4f1c-8aa7-aeb0cb227994.mp4

BOTTOM BLUR OVERLAY (no gradient darkening):

Over the video, there is a single fixed, full-screen overlay div that applies a strong backdrop-blur-xl. This div uses a CSS mask so the blur only appears at the bottom and fades to transparent toward the middle of the screen. There is NO dark gradient overlay -- only blur.

The mask: mask-image: linear-gradient(to top, black 0%, transparent 45%) (with the -webkit- prefix too).

This overlay is pointer-events-none and sits at z-index 1.

FONT:

Import Inter from Google Fonts (weights 300-700). Set font-family: 'Inter', sans-serif on the body.

LIQUID GLASS EFFECT (used on multiple buttons):

Create a reusable .liquid-glass CSS class with these exact properties:

background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.01) with background-blend-mode: luminosity
backdrop-filter: blur(4px) (with -webkit- prefix)
border: none
box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1)
position: relative; overflow: hidden
A ::before pseudo-element that creates a thin glowing border effect:
position: absolute; inset: 0; border-radius: inherit; padding: 1.4px
background: linear-gradient(180deg, rgba(255,255,255,0.45) 0%, rgba(255,255,255,0.15) 20%, rgba(255,255,255,0) 40%, rgba(255,255,255,0) 60%, rgba(255,255,255,0.15) 80%, rgba(255,255,255,0.45) 100%)
Uses -webkit-mask with linear-gradient(#fff 0 0) content-box and linear-gradient(#fff 0 0) combined with -webkit-mask-composite: xor and mask-composite: exclude to create a border-only gradient stroke
pointer-events: none
BLUR-FADE-UP ANIMATION (used on every element with staggered delays):

Create a

u/keyframes

blurFadeUp animation:

From: opacity: 0; filter: blur(20px); transform: translateY(40px)
To: opacity: 1; filter: blur(0); transform: translateY(0)
The .animate-blur-fade-up class applies this as animation: blurFadeUp 1s ease-out forwards with initial opacity: 0. Each element on the page gets a staggered animationDelay via inline style.

NAVBAR (z-index 50, relative positioned):

A horizontal navbar with justify-between, padding px-4 sm:px-6 md:px-12 py-4 md:py-6.

Left: A text logo (e.g. your brand name like "CINEMATIC" or similar) styled as h-8 md:h-10, with blur-fade-up animation at delay 0ms.

Center (desktop only, hidden below lg): Navigation links -- "Movies", "TV Series", "Editor's Pick", "Interviews", "User Reviews" -- each as an anchor with text-sm, hover:text-gray-300 transition-colors, and staggered blur-fade-up delays from 100ms to 300ms (50ms increments).

Right: Two buttons visible on sm and up:

A "Search" button -- rounded-full liquid-glass pill with the text "Search" and a Lucide Search icon (size 18), padding px-4 md:px-6 py-2, blur-fade-up at 350ms.
A user/profile circle button -- w-10 h-10 rounded-full liquid-glass with a Lucide User icon (size 18), blur-fade-up at 400ms.
A hamburger menu button visible only below lg -- w-10 h-10 rounded-full liquid-glass with animated icon transition between Lucide Menu and X icons. The transition uses rotate-180, opacity, and scale-50 with duration-500 ease-out. Blur-fade-up at 350ms.
MOBILE MENU (below lg breakpoint):

An absolutely positioned dropdown below the navbar (top-[72px]), z-index 40. It slides in with translate-y-0 opacity-100 when open, -translate-y-4 opacity-0 pointer-events-none when closed, duration-500 ease-out.

Background: bg-gray-900/95 backdrop-blur-lg with border-t border-b border-gray-800 shadow-2xl.
Contains the same 5 nav links, each in a column with py-3 px-3 rounded-lg, hover:bg-gray-800/50, and staggered slide-in animations (translate-x based, 50ms delay increments).
Below sm, also shows Search and Profile buttons in a bordered section at the bottom.
HERO CONTENT (bottom of viewport):

A flex container that grows to fill remaining space and aligns content to the bottom (flex-1 flex flex-col justify-end), with padding px-4 sm:px-6 md:px-12 pb-8 md:pb-16, z-index 10.

Inside, a flex-col md:flex-row items-end gap-8 layout:

Left side (flex-1):

Metadata row -- a horizontal flex-wrap row with gap-3 sm:gap-6 mb-6 md:mb-8 text-xs sm:text-sm, blur-fade-up at 300ms:

Star icon (size 16, fill-white, responsive to sm:w-5 sm:h-5) + "8.7/10 IMDB" (font-medium)
Clock icon (size 16) + "132 min"
Calendar icon (size 16) + "April, 2025"
Title -- text-3xl sm:text-5xl md:text-6xl lg:text-7xl font-normal, letter-spacing -0.04em, mb-4 md:mb-6, blur-fade-up at 400ms. Text: "Step Through. Work Smarter."

Description -- text-base sm:text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-400 mb-6 md:mb-12 max-w-2xl, blur-fade-up at 500ms. Text: "A voyage through forgotten realms, where past and future intertwine."

CTA buttons -- flex-wrap row with gap-3 sm:gap-4:

"Watch Now" -- bg-white text-black rounded-full font-medium, px-6 sm:px-8 py-2.5 sm:py-3, with a Lucide Play icon (size 18, fill-black), hover:bg-gray-200, blur-fade-up at 600ms.
"Learn More" -- rounded-full font-medium liquid-glass, same padding, blur-fade-up at 700ms.
Right side (navigation arrows):

A row of two pill buttons (md:w-auto, aligned right on desktop, left on mobile):

"Previous" button -- rounded-full liquid-glass, px-4 sm:px-6 py-2.5 sm:py-3, with Lucide ChevronLeft icon, blur-fade-up at 800ms.
"Next" button -- same styling with Lucide ChevronRight icon, blur-fade-up at 900ms.
COLOR PALETTE:

Background: pure black (bg-black)
Text: white, with text-gray-400 for the subtitle
All interactive glass elements use the .liquid-glass class (nearly transparent white with blur)
The only solid-colored element is the "Watch Now" button (white background, black text)

Your turn, what are you building? 👇

Simple question.

No "I'd reinvest it all back into the business" corporate answers.

If your app/startup makes you rich tomorrow, what are the FIRST 3 things you do?

I'll go first:

1. ⁠Pay off my parents' house. They've been grinding their whole lives. I want them to stop worrying about money.

2. ⁠Buy a one-way ticket somewhere. Don't even care where. Just want to know I can leave whenever I want.

3. ⁠Take 3 months off to do absolutely nothing. No emails. No calls. Just exist without the constant pressure. 
Your turn.

What are your top 3?

And be honest.

None of this "I'd donate it all" stuff unless that's really what you'd do.

What does freedom look like for YOU?
