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
In the near future, scientists discover that Jupiter is about to be transformed into a star by an alien intelligence. A crew of astronauts races against time to stop the plan and save Earth from destruction.

What happens
Bye-Bye Jupiter (さよならジュピター, Sayonara Jupitā; lit. Goodbye Jupiter) is a 1984 Japanese science fiction film directed by Sakyo Komatsu and Koji Hashimoto and co-produced and written by Komatsu. An early draft of the film's story was novelized by Komatsu two years prior to its release as Sayonara Jupiter, which won the 1983 Seiun Award. Akihiko Hirata made his final film appearance in the film. Bye-Bye Jupiter is notable as the first Japanese film ever to use computer-generated imagery for visual effects. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
