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

What happens
Leviathan is a 1989 science fiction horror film directed by George P. Cosmatos and written by David Webb Peoples and Jeb Stuart. An international co-production of the United States and Italy, it stars Peter Weller, Richard Crenna, Ernie Hudson, Amanda Pays and Daniel Stern as the crew of an underwater geological facility stalked and killed by a hideous mutant creature. The creature effects were designed by Academy Award-winning special effects artist Stan Winston. Leviathan was released around the same time as other, similarly themed "underwater" science fiction and horror films including The Abyss and DeepStar Six (both 1989), and received generally negative reviews from critics, who cited numerous similarities to films such as Alien (1979) and The Thing (1982).
