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
Rocketship X-M (also known as Expedition Moon and originally Rocketship Expedition Moon) is a 1950 American black-and-white science-fiction film from Lippert Pictures, the first outer-space adventure of the post-World War II era. The film was produced and directed by Kurt Neumann and stars Lloyd Bridges, Osa Massen, John Emery, Noah Beery Jr., Hugh O'Brian and Morris Ankrum. Rocketship X-M tells the story of a Moon expedition gone awry. Through a series of unforeseen events, the expedition's crew find themselves on Mars. They discover the remnants of a Martian civilization destroyed long ago by atomic war and now reverted to barbarism. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
