The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

"Pilot" is the two-part series premiere of the American science fiction series Legends of Tomorrow; it was directed by Glen Winter, and written by series creators Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Phil Klemmer, and Andrew Kreisberg. The episodes were shot in Vancouver, Canada; only one set was built and most of the filming was done on location. The episodes star an ensemble cast of Arthur Darvill, Franz Drameh, Victor Garber, Falk Hentschel, Caity Lotz, Dominic Purcell, Ciara Renée, Brandon Routh, and Wentworth Miller. In "Pilot", Rip Hunter (Darvill) recruits several heroes and villains to help him defeat the immortal warrior Vandal Savage (Casper Crump), who has subjugated the planet. "Pilot, Part 1" premiered on January 21, 2016, to an audience of 3.21 million viewers, and "Pilot, Part 2" debuted on January 28 to an audience of 2.32 million. The episodes were broadcast on The CW and received mixed reviews from critics, who felt the series had a lot of potential. Part two was better received than the first, due to its focus on action sequences. The chemistry between the cast in both parts was met with mixed reception. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
