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
Valley of the Dragons (released in UK as Prehistoric Valley) is a black and white 1961 American science fiction film loosely based on Jules Verne's 1877 novel Off on a Comet (aka Hector Servadac) and heavily dependent on stock footage from the movies One Million B.C., King Dinosaur, Cat-Women of the Moon and Rodan.
