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.

How it feels

An astronaut watches Earth get destroyed by a nuclear war from space. He returns to a barren desert planet where survivors fight over water. He learns of a place with water and a decent life, but when he arrives, he finds the survivors enslaved by a mad tyrant who plans to create a new generation to rule over people.

What happens

Survivor è un film statunitense-sudafricano del 1987 diretto da Michael Shackleton. Un astronauta assiste dallo spazio alla distruzione del pianeta a causa da un conflitto termonucleare. Fa quindi rientro dopo il fallout su un pianeta deserto e sterile, dove i pochi sopravvissuti si uccidono per poche gocce d'acqua. L'uomo viene a conoscenza di un posto dove è ancora disponibile acqua e dov'è possibile condurre una vita dignitosa, ma quando vi arriva scopre che i pochi superstiti che vi risiedono sono schiavi di un nuovo folle tiranno, deciso a creare una nuova generazione di figli destinati a governare gli uomini.
