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.
How it feels
A tomboyish woman in the Canadian Rockies falls for a rough trapper but her brother disapproves. She tries to become more ladylike to win his approval and handle the romantic complications.

What happens
Rose Marie is a 1954 American musical Western film adaptation of the 1924 operetta of the same name. It is the third adaptation to be filmed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), following a 1928 silent film and the 1936 film starring Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy. It is directed by Mervyn LeRoy and stars Ann Blyth, Howard Keel and Fernando Lamas. This version is filmed in the Canadian Rockies in CinemaScope. It was MGM's first US produced film in the new widescreen medium (having been preceded by the British-produced Knights of the Round Table), and the first movie musical of any studio to be released in this format. It was part of a revival of large-budget operetta films produced during the mid-1950s. The story adheres closely to that of the original libretto, unlike the 1936 version. It is somewhat altered by a tomboy-to-lady conversion for the title character. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
