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 spaceship crew crash lands on a planet where dinosaurs still live. The survivors must find a way to survive and eventually fight off the dinosaurs to get off the planet.

What happens
Planet of Dinosaurs is a 1977 American science fiction film produced and directed by James K. Shea and wrtten by Ralph Lucas. Shea instructed most of the budget to be spent on the special effects, which included an array of award-winning stop motion dinosaurs, leaving little money for props or even to pay the main actors. James Whitworth and Max Thayer had the most film experience of the actors. Modern reviews have generally been negative, although there is agreement that the stop-motion dinosaurs were the most notable and enjoyable aspect. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
