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
An alien invasion threatens Earth, and a giant flying turtle named Gamera teams up with three space women to fight the monsters. The movie uses footage from earlier Gamera films to tell a new story.

What happens
Gamera: Super Monster (宇宙怪獣ガメラ, Uchū Kaijū Gamera; lit. 'Space Monster Gamera') is a 1980 Japanese kaiju film directed by Noriaki Yuasa and produced by Daiei International. It is the eighth film in the Gamera film series and its first installment by Tokuma Shoten, following the release of Gamera vs. Zigra in 1971, while it is a new story and doesn't share the lore with the previous Showa films. Gamera: Super Monster was distributed by New Daiei, and was released theatrically in Japan on 20 March 1980. It was followed by Gamera: Guardian of the Universe in 1995, which would mark the beginning of the franchise's Heisei period. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
