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

My Science Project is a 1985 American teen science fiction comedy film directed by Jonathan R. Betuel. It followed on the heels of other teen sci-fi/comedy films released the same year, such as Back to the Future, Real Genius, and Weird Science; it did not perform as well as those films.
