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
This TV movie follows three groups of passengers on the Titanic's maiden voyage: wealthy first-class travelers, a middle-class family, and immigrants in third class. It shows their different experiences before and during the ship's sinking in 1912.

What happens
S.O.S. Titanic is a 1979 drama disaster television movie that depicts the doomed 1912 maiden voyage of RMS Titanic from the perspective of three distinct groups of passengers in first, second and third class. Produced by EMI Films, the script, written by James Costigan, was based at least in part on survivor Lawrence Beesley's book The Loss of The SS Titanic: Its Story and Its Lessons, by One of the Survivors. The all star cast included David Janssen, Ian Holm, David Warner, Helen Mirren and Cloris Leachman. Directed by William Hale (credited as Billy Hale) with soundtrack by Howard Blake, it is the first Titanic film to be filmed and released in colour, not counting the 1964 musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown.
